How do you start?

I've been reading the 'New to ARMA?' article and 'Study of Renaissance Martial Arts' and I'm a wee bit confused. There is no ARMA group in Denmark, so I can't join an existing group. So I'm wondering: What would I be doing if I join ARMA. My goal is to learn to handle swords. Mainly the bastard swor...

Actually I don't know where I'm going to live yet...I'm going to study abroad for my 9th semester and I decided to go to London. The deal with UCL is ok I think, but the living arrangements haven't been cleared yet. So sadly its still an 'if'.

Anyone in London?

Heya, I might go to London in the fall for 1 semester of my studies...I was wondering if there is anyone in London to train with? If there is I'll hurry up and join the ARMA, else I'll prolly have to wait till February. I just got hold of the book 'Medieval Swordmanship', by John Clement. Any advice...

I don't know who posted that. I'm as much in the dark on that as you. I'm quoted but without proper quote tags...I sense something foul afoot. :?

I read that essay loosely a couple of times. It seems to deal with continental European 2 handed great swords. The designs in the essay seems to be distinctivly different from the claymores.

So...in these forums...what do people mean when saying 'claymore'?

Claymores: size, weight and use

Heya, I'm new here and this is my first post. Sadly I'm not an ARMA member yet, but I think I will be in some time! :D On a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland I acquired a Scottish Claymore. A large 2 handed sword. The salesman told me quite a few things about it. And I sorta want to know more about it. Wh...
