[QUOTE="Arawyn, post: 1172993, member: 9671"] You will have much more luck looking for such people/schools at [url]www.swordforum.com[/url]. She could also look into the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). (the Sth Maine Chapter - [url]http://www.malagentia.eastkingdom.org/[/url]) I have no wish to get into discussion of whether SCA practices "good historical swordplay" but if you are enjoying yourself and you are having fun how cares. If you are interested in the research yourself. Here are some links to look at: AEMMA's Library of Period Manuals [url]http://www.aemma.org/library_top.htm[/url] namely their "The Art of Longsword Combat - Book #1" [url]http://www.aemma.org/onlineResources/publications/publications_body.htm#cvet[/url] I personally like Italian Longsword, it suits my own Longsword style, there is one translation at the link below but I would suggest get to a seminar of Bob Charron. His classes are brilliant. Anyway that translation [url]http://www.varmouries.com/wildrose/fiore/fiore.html[/url] Hope that is of help regards, Scott Nimmo [/QUOTE]
