Tim,

Michael, I don't know about the DVD or the Fick book, but the Lindholm book is a good one - although like many things , parts of it are outdated. That is to say current understanding of the techniques has evolved . Where are you located? If at all possible, I would suggest trying to make it to a nea...

Sorry , intended to add the invite to you also JD.

Alex, good news is we aren't all that far away here in Oklahoma. We have one member in Tahlequah , one in Tulsa , I'm in Mannford just west of Tulsa, another member in Enid. We meet here in Mannford on Saturday evenings and at other times as we can. You are more than welcome to contact us and visit ...

We have a member in Omaha. I met him at the MTP this last weekend , I'm bad with names but I'm sure it was Scott (forgot his last name). Heck of a nice guy and seemed pretty on top of everything . Hopefully we can get you in contact with him.

I would think it would be entirely dependant on a couple of things , one intent - do they actually want to harm each other ? Two how brutal is daily life , someone in an upscale suburban neighborhood who has to worry about a criminal record and losing his house is alot less likely to try and kill so...

Great Matt, looking forward to meeting you !!! I'll send you an e-mail so if you don't get it let me know. Been a little slow around here for some time but we are starting to get some interest and have some very dedicated members who spend half a day driving back and forth to meet when they can.

Brett,

I sent you a PM with my e-mail - if you don't get it , let me know.

Brett, Hi, we have three ARMA members currently in Oklahoma that I am aware of, one in Enid , one in Tahlequah , and myself in Mannford - between Stillwater and Tulsa. We meet here on Saturdays when we can all get together - though I would be more than happy to meet with you even if the others can't...

I'm a bit older than you Chris and have lost much limberness too. I have come to realize it takes me a while to warm up or else something is gonna get pulled - and has. So I thank you for bringing up this topic. I believe all the old stretching exercises we did back when are still good but I would s...

Most people that I have seen use the Albion Liechtenauer, many use the Meyer. I have both , each handle slightly differently so if you can , I'd suggest trying one out first. I haven't handled one, but have heard the CAS Hanwei practical hand and a half is pretty good and you can get one for $100.00...

I'm having Parker do some work like this for me now, you would really have to contact him directly as it greatly depends on exactly what you want - and Parker is good about helping with options if the budget is tight.

I'm no expert, but in my opinion - hang it on the wall. It sounds heavy and is likely poorly balanced . A poor sword will teach you poor habits. If you can afford a good practice sword such as an Albion or even some Hanwai's , get one , otherwise it's better to practice with a stick than an unbalanc...

In the first few seconds they do have "Produced by : The ARMA" , I'm not sure what that means leagally or if they have permission.

Just thought I'd make an observation on reading material. I know we all like to read accurate detailed books, but stop for a moment and think how often we miss the big picture. Gotta face it myself, I don't often have a good general understanding of Medieval and Renaissance life and times , the solu...
