thank you sir.
now, you did mention " (if you don't have access already, you must request it from the ARMA Director)." seeing as I am still a study group of one, what are the chances of this and other info being made available to me?
please help....needing info on where to find instruction on footwork technique. as im still by myself, detailed description is very much needed; video would be helpful as well but written instruction with diagrams would be preferred.

good stuff Roger

lafayette,
that was great, just what i was looking for. guess the 2-weapon scenario would b only (or mostly) used w rapiers or the ever popular rapier/dagger combo. and thanx to everyone who responded, will just keep working on longswrd til ive actuly got a partner to try the rapier(s) with.
