Hi folks. I've been interested in swordfighting for some time now, but before now haven't really gotten around to investigating it in any depth. I'm currently trying to get into a regular exercise routine that I actually enjoy, and thought pursuing my interest in learning the sword might be a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
The local rec center offers fencing lessons, but I'm more interested learning the longsword than the foil. I've ordered a couple of books and have just begun looking through some of the materials on this site.
Can anyone tell me if there are any members in Northeastern Ohio area? I see that there's a Columbus group, and it looks like I just missed an event there. I'm hoping there is someone a bit more local as well, as I'm assuming pure book learning can only take me so far.
