Hi, I'm 13 and was looking at the youth part of the website. I Don't understand how I would learn. I've looked at everything I can find on the website. If this is in the wrong place please don't delete it...
Here's some questions:

first of all matthew, what is your location? there may be an ARMA member or study group close by.

i'd say being 5'5" you could handle a full sized longsword waster. i'm 5'7" and use full sized wasters. i think they generally should come up to about your sternum, but that's
just my opinion

someone else here recently asked how to start, so you could take a look at the thread entitled "not sure how this works"
