How often do you train, and for how long?
Twice a week, for 2 hours each with the Provo Study Group. Desperately trying to find time for personal study and work with a couple close friends.

What 3 weapons do you train with most?
Longsword (greatsword) and Cut &amp; Thrust (with no-off hand weapon, buckler, &amp; dagger)

What 3 do you want to start but haven't yet?
Spear/Staff, Axe, and Rapier. (Mace &amp; Flail would be interesting as well...)
A small side note, what would you all recomend both scource and equipment wise for studying axe? I basically know nothing of its use. (PM me if you feel you're response may be distracting to the topic)

What related activites are you involved in?
Related? Nothing, really.
Unrealeted? Before college took away all my time anyway, I'm a gamer (any genre of any type (computer, console, PnP RPG, etc.) an Off-Roader (and other simlar activities, ie Jet Skis) and a whole lot of other little hobbies I don't have time for anymore, like photography, analyzing music &amp; movies, anime, and more. I'm an officer in BYU's Speculative Fiction Club, Quark.
I'm 18, attending BYU in my Junior Year, majoring in psychology. My current favorite scholastic activity is hooking up people to an EEG machine and reading their minds. <img src="/forum/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Affilliation/what seminars &amp; teachers have you had?
1.0 and 1.2 by John Clements. Both Jacob Norwood and Stu Feil of the Provo Study Group have done alot in teaching me all sorts of stuff.

Happy Swordfighting!
