Tucson Hellhounds

Let’s get ready to meet another member of the Tucson Hellhounds:

Let’s get ready to meet James Hill The Captain of the team.

Why did you start Buhurt: A good place to be a part of a team. The brotherhood of it all. But really it started in 2011 when I got my lip split open by a foam boffer. Started out LARP but found my way to Buhurt.

What makes you keep coming back: Good times. Great team. It’s an awesome way to have “therapy” with all of my friends.

What’s your favorite weapon to go into the lyst: I like to run my small axe named “Mogen” and my Buckler

What type of kit do you run: Russ Mongol

Who’s one of you favorite team mates to fight against and with: Fighting against… on my team, I would have to say Daniel. He pushes me to move around and work a little harder. Favorite person to fight with is easy. Martti because he and I work exceptionally well together.

What is your role on the team and how do you feel about it: I am the team Captain, recently voted in by my peers. I’ve always been a bit of a leader on the team but with the official title it’s certainly has a bit more gravity. I care deeply about the team and want to make sure everyone is supported and that we work hard together to be a competitive team. I am grateful for everyone that puts in the work.

What’s your choice of drink: Water lately. It’s been too hot. But I used to really enjoy a white monster. I also enjoy good old fashioned Root Beer

Do you have any hidden talents or unusual hobbie? Pretty sure Buhurt counts as an unusual hobby. As for talents, I wear many hats and really enjoy helping people.

Whats your go to karaoke song: I don’t goto Karaoke. The last one I did years ago was a Charlie Daniel’s song, Devil went down to Georgia.

Now James let’s have some fun with some This or that question

soda or tea? Soda
Monster or Red Bull ? Monster
Cats or Dogs? Cats
Sweet or savory? Savory
Podcasts or music? Music
Tv or movies? TV if it’s a good series.

Thank you James for sharing with us.

Can’t wait for this. Our team is always excited about making this trip and being a part of the Faire.

Huzzah! Step into a world of enchantment and revelry at the Cavern City Renaissance Festival, where history comes alive through captivating music & magic, 100+ artisan vendors, thrilling armored combat, and bountiful food & drink!

Hi I am Sam and recently I was given the role as Equipment Manager and I am excited and ready to take this on but here is a little about me:

I joined Buhurt because I was looking for an upgrade from SCA. I keep coming back because this team has a great sense of community and for the fun and thrill of the fight.

If I had to choose a favorite weapon to go into the lyst with I would have to say a two-handed sword or falchion.

Now on this team we are a big family but if I had to pick one team mate to go into the lyst with it would be Justin (The Fighting Shrimp) and the team mate I don't like going up against is James (Ent 1).

On a fun note Pineapple does go on pizza and I cant resist a GOOD margarita, to get on my good side throw snacks a me like a white Monster or some cool ranch Doritos.

Great to meet everyone, cant wait to see you at the next fight.

Always battle ready as long as she has her Redbull.

True strength isn’t loud, It’s found in the choices that you make when no one is watching.
Stay humble in victory, Focused in silence And faithful in every lyst.
Discipline today, Legacy tomorrow.

In just 2 days, we will be hosting our monthly 2nd Saturday Knight Slam.

We are happy to announce that we will be having a meet and great with some of our fighters. As always, we will have a donation snack table with treats and drinks, donation from this Saturday Knight Slam will be going to help us make a new lyst for the gym.

All ages are welcomed to come and watch the fights; this is a free fun event. Can't wait to see y'all This Saturday.

Folks ask us all the time what do they need to get started….

You don’t need experience.

You don’t need armor.

You just need the drive to train, the courage to step in, and the willingness to become better.

We train hard. We fight together. Give us the time and become part of something bigger.

Come be part of the Hellhounds.
