Hi, I'm bit north of Seattle (Mountlake Terrace) and interested in those same forms. However, I have no experience beyond skimming a few books trying to mimic a few youtube videos; trying to find where to begin is pretty daunting.
I have a friend that also has a longsword and did eastern martial arts for years including sword practice but is currently similarly out of practice. We have messed around with kendo sticks a few times but without instruction, only metal blades (Dull practice ones), and no safety equipment, we felt it was best to put the western stuff on hold a bit.
That said, I've been wanting to get into it for a while now and I'd love to see if others are interested in forming a group as well.
