Hey guys I was reading your posts here and wanted to tell you that I have been practicing with a group of ARMA members out in Tustin, CA in Orange County. We have 5 ARMA members that I know of and I just sent in my application as well to sign up for ARMA. We also have about 13 non arma members signed up with the group on the meetup site we use. Here is a link to the web site we use to organize practice days and communicate
http://www.meetup.com/login/?returnUri=/ . If you sign up with meetup.com and then type in orange county arma you will see our group pop up. We practice every friday and saturday at 10 a.m both days. The place we practice at is at a sports park with a soccer and baseball field though we use the baseball field to practice. Here is the address of where we practice Tustin Sports Park 12850 Robinson Dr. Tustin, CA 92782 . The group primairly practices longsword but is open to other styles. I have a sword and shield I like to practice with and the group is open to letting me use that when we spar. I live in Pomona, CA as well if anyone needs a pratice partner and is out that way and would like to meetup with me just email me at
ofpeco1@hotmail.com and we can talk about perhaps meeting up to practice. Hope this was helpful.
