Anyone ever heard of the WMA group in Half Moon Bay mentioned by Gemini in the video below?

In the fight scenes from that training session at the 'Western Circle of Sword Fighters' the contestant on the right side wearing the white belt remained constant so I'm assuming that was Sir Gemini. From the scenes they showed he seems quite an accomplished swordsman, he looked very clean, smooth and fast with his attacks and counter attacks. Thanks for posting!  :)

Agreed, Sir Brian- his movements were very fluid, confident, even.

Yes, the one with the White Belt is a KSCA called Duke Syr Gemini De Grendel. Owner of Knights Quest in Turlock, CA. It helps that he has at least one EMA Black Belt in Kung Fu. He also won one if the contests at Combat Con last year.

While I know Gemini well I'd not heard of the other group till this vid came out a few years ago and have not heard anything of them since. Has anyone else?

(Side Note: Gemini married a long time family friend (Duchess Sir Mari Alexander KSCA) and many of his students are my friends.)
