‘Come For The Swords, Stay For The People’: How A Lincoln Nonprofit Grew From Hobbyist Group To ‘A Community’

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Wed, 04/23/2025 - 7:00am
Participants at the Nebraska Swordfighters Guild’s January Fight Camp wear colorful gambesons – traditional padded or quilted jackets that would have been worn under armor in medieval combat. The gambesons, along with gloves, gorgets (steel or leather garments that protect the neck) and masks help fighters stay safe during exercises and sparring.

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Esteban Gast remembered a feeling of shame he had in high school while calculating how much carbon dioxide, the main driver of climate change, his daily activities created, known as a carbon footprint.
