Team Roster
Get to know the warriors that fight for Olympia Onslaught. From heavy hitters that snipe opponents with 2-handed axes to the mid-line agile flankers and skilled rail grapplers, our roster is made up of dedicated individuals who train hard and fight harder. Each member brings something unique to the field, united by our passion for medieval armored combat and the buhurt community. Are you ready to Join the ranks?
Knights
Pat Carns,
Captain
Pat founded his own buhurt team to save the drive to another city. Great story, right? He's also, um, no spring chicken, but he’s dedicated to growing with his crew of young, strong, and dedicated fighters while building local and regional partnerships with other teams, businesses, and events. Oh, and the beard!
Jason McClelland,
Sergeant
Jason is the ultimate team Sergeant. Within a few months of joining the team, he had built a list in his garage, obtained a full set of titanium armor, and was traveling to regional experts and events to bring the best tactics back to the Onslaught team. He hosts practices, hauls and repairs gear, and so much more. You won't find a more kind and generous person, but he'll also easily beat you in the list!
Jeff Bugh
Have you ever seen a truly agile giant? Now you have. Meet Jeff. This gentle man transforms into a true problem for anyone who squares off against him in the list. Think big equals slow and clunky? Think again. Prepare to be Osoto’d from 10 feet away.
Jonathan Tillmon
Jonathan is the kind of fighter you love to have on your side, but hate to face off against. The kind that gets hit and doesn't stop moving forward. When you are exhausted, he is not. Yikes.
Bucky Schlegel
Bucky is well known for his shield punch from Hell, but also his smile when delivering it. He’s super nice, but he will mark up your helmet. I hope you like having your bell rung. Oh, and the 'stache!
Squires
Rob Gooding
Imagine an endless amount of energy in your body, and that energy translated to fighting in armor. It's hard to beat someone with endless energy, especially when they love 2-handed axes and aren't afraid to grapple with you. That's Rob!
Trista Heenan
Lady Knights? Yup. Meet the modern warrior. Trista isn't afraid to wail on you, or me, or anyone really. That makes for a difficult fight. Enjoy!
Nathan Sanchez
Like this web design? Thank Nathan! Oh, oh, also..... he likes attacking people in armor. That might mean you.
Pages
This kid is barely an adult, but he's huge, he's strong, and he's crazy good. Military training clearly has done him right. Watch out for this one.
Self-described "skinny boi", but a force to reckon with, for sure. Our new friend Sionnach loves to fight, and fight he will!
Ricky Grosso
Ricky is the most helpful and flexible guy around. Need a squire to help you gear up? Need a marshal to keep the fights organized? Need a fighter to hop into action? Ricky will do it all, and it keeps the team running nicely!
Max Wiecek
Affectionately known as "New Guy", at least for now, Max brings excitement and energy to every practice. It's infectious, and his desire to learn and apply is unmatched!
Brian Harris
When Brian is asked to drill a specific technique, or do cardio, or throw on loaner armor that doesn't fit him well, he does it, and he fights hard. He also trains general fitness outside of team practices. I don't know what else you can ask of a trainee. Brian is a bright talent.
Despite being friends with Alex -->
Stephen is actually quite the cool dude. Since joining the team, he has been one of the most consistent trainees, and it's obvious he's picking up what he's learning. He will do whatever is asked of him, and he's leveling up quickly because of it.
Alex Amante
Alex has been doing living history activities for awhile. Now he has added real medieval combat to the list. Using his boxing experience, he has picked up striking and footwork REAL fast, and that's bad news for any opponent.
Jon Harper
Jon's Welsh heritage holds true when thinking about people who can wield 100+ pound draw-weight longbows. This means STRENGTH. Strength that he can use to humiliate you.
Nate Bariel
This guy spent his FIRST buhurt training hopping into tough team melees, in steel, and HOLDING HIS OWN! With zero training! When he goes down, he gets up. When he gets hit, he hits back. The dude is unstoppable.
Nick is like a sponge. He soaks up everything he learns, and is ready to dispense it in combat. I see great things for him in the future - how bout you?
Kyle Mitchell-Saucke
Kyle is the type of guy you might mistake for the quiet type that hangs in the background. Nope. Kyle is the quiet type that beats you with great balance, a strong body, and endless drive to finish the fight.
Honorary Members
Devin Lukomski
Devin was part of our original core group of fighters. He moved to the East Coast, but will forever be an Onslaught.
Ever tried grappling with Devin? Good luck. Getting this guy to the ground is a true feat of skill, strength, and lots of luck. As Devin grows in experience and skills, he will be a nightmare to deal with on the field.
