Historic Fencing? (Swords) - feperry - 04-26-2015
I'm looking for people interested in historic fencing. My own interests lie in 19th century dueling sabre and 16th century rapier - though I also do 18th century small sword and epee. Is anyone interested?

Make sure your fence when installed is well treated
or it may rust out in a few short years.

Used to spar sword and dagger. There is not HACA or even SCA around that I know of. The range of martial arts is kind of limited on the east side.

One of the Hilo dance studios has had fencing classes, I used to know someone who took them for years until they left for college, so there is at least somewhat of a fencing community here. I think it was at Center stage. I would contact them and see if they have any leads.

Do you have any contact info for them
RE: Historic Fencing? (Swords) - feperry - 04-28-2015
quote:I know of them through their Facebook page. It's Hawaii Island Fencing Association. The meet twice a week but I'm not sure of the details beyond what is on Facebook. There's a gym in Mt View and some school just above downtown Hilo where they meet. They have a tournament on June 6th. You will likely see me there looking to drum up interest in HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts).
