It looks like the FFA was featured in their first ever news article. The article was written by a reporter who came out to the November day battle. We all had a lot of fun and she interviewed a couple of fighters along with taking some great pictures.

It looks like Summer Slaughter was an awesome event this year. Unfortunately it ended up raining Friday but that didn't affect the awesome night time festivities in the huge great hall we were able to use.

I'm proud to say that this year we had a record 73 people which is a huge increase in numbers over the past years. The fighting was excellent and I think everyone enjoyed the scenarios that we had. I look forward to seeing you all at the Odyssey in early October.

The first half of summer is gone and now it's time for Florida to shine. We have a battle planned for July 23rd @ Gemini springs. Summer Slaughter is also scheduled for August 19 - 21st @ Doe Lake Park. The odyssey is also later in our season.. Check the forums for more details and we'll see you there!

Hello Florida Fighters, I just wanted to send out a quick notification regarding future day battles and events to give you a heads up on some possible important changes.

However before I do that I want to thank all of the Florida fighters who were able to attend Ides of March in Georgia. I'm happy to see that we continuously represent Florida in the north and hope to see our numbers grow as we bring more and more southern fighters to large northern events.

Secondly, I wanted to comment on how successful the February day battle was. During our battle at Gemini springs we successfully fielded over 35 fighters. This means we're growing at a very rapid pace. I expect if we continue to grow at this rate we'll easily pass 50, and then 100 fighters at our day battles. I hope to continue to see all of you at future day battles and appreciate those who have consistently attended since the beginning. I've always said that some things start out slow, but as you can see it's beginning to pay off so keep it up and let your friends know about Florida's awesome central day battles.

I just wanted to thank everyone for attending the January Day Battle. We've been growing steadily all around Florida at a very nice rate. It's so nice to come out to a day battle and see so many new faces, as well as many of the old faces that consistently show up to day battles.

I'll have pictures up in the forums and on the website as soon as I get them. So stay tuned and make sure to sign up for the next Day battle on the Facebook group. Here's a picture of last years Oceanslide Onslaught!

I also wanted to let you know about Oceanside Onslaught which is a yearly battle on the beach at Cocoa beach. It's completely free with lunch served at no cost. There's no reason not to come, it's an incredible event that is a lot of fun.

Hello Florida Fighters, I wanted to inform you about an upcoming event called Shira Di. It will be an event hosted by the Sleeping Samurai that will take place on November 1st. You can find more information about this event under the upcoming events. For now, I'll repost the forum thread about the event from:

http://z8.invisionfree.com/FloridaFoamFighters/index.php?showtopic=422&st=0&#last

I am contacting you today about an event that Sleeping Samurai is putting on. It's called Shura Di (which basically stands for "Day of Fighting") and here's the run down... Shura Di will be a foam fighting day dedicated to honor, respect, chivalry, kindness, fun, learning and much more. We will be hosting massive foam fighting battles, Martial Art demos, Tournaments, family friendly “fair style” games and much more, with hundreds of people (if not more than a thousand people) joining in with us. There will be over $4,000 worth of prizes to be given away throughout the event. This “Day of Fighting” will be held in Plant City, FL on November 21st. We are looking to make Shura Di a twice-a-year event starting in 2011, one in the spring and one in the fall. You can find more info for Shura Di at http://www.thesleepingsamurai.com, on our Facebook account (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shura-Di/154672017908200), on our Myspace account (http://events.myspace.com/Event/View/7729188)or by emailing MyShuraDi@gmail.com.
