Me doing my HEMA thing a few years back:
Sir Ulrich:
Yeah thats one issue for me, I am not into the plate armor era at all actually as the crusades ended by then. There are viking reenacting too but I don't really have an affinity for that day and age. Still seems cool to spar with weapons, would like to try it one day dispite myself knowing almost nothing about sparring apart from some SCA/Markland style sparring with a sword and board.

Doesn't matter if you know anything or think you know everything about it. Find a couple people, grab some swords and shields, and have at it. There's no "test" for any of this, so have fun with it - longsword, sword and shield, polearm - all fun stuff. :) Find a couple friends, pick your favorite tools to try to kill with (oh, and not die), then, have a blast. If it's not fun, you're doing something wrong.

+1 :)
I had the rust knocked out of me today at the local SCA practice. Took a short dane axe head shot that really rang my bell (amongst other embarrassing shots). Next Saturday I will be at it again at a demo for a museum.
I plan to have big fun! :D :D :D
