Historic Fencing? (Swords)

[feperry]

The number of people that I've seen at the fencing club is high enough, that I think some will be interested in going beyond the foil to something closer to the roots. For an idea of what HEMA is about try one of these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wftj-vxbSds - for rapier
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Y6-TB_ycM - rapier and dagger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F1fvZYR0iE - small sword
I personally don't do long sword (I'm a bit old to be rolling around on the ground with people pommeling me) but for the under 60 crowd...
