You wouldn’t want to mess with mechanical engineering senior Ashley Kulczycki. As a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, she is well-schooled in the arena of medieval martial arts.
“It’s not just for geeks,” she said. “There are people specializing in every part of medieval life.”
The MSU chapter is a student group that recreates the lifestyle of people who lived in the middle ages.
The group meets twice a week. It shares crafts and other artifacts preceding the 1600s on Mondays, and it meets on Wednesdays in the Pavilion for Agriculture and Livestock Education, clad in 10-pound steel helmets, shoulder pads and shields to practice “Western martial arts.”
