Aren't you located in Southern California? There are a several clubs that have the Italian and Liechtenauer traditions in both the San Diego and L.A. areas. ;)

Thanks for the info Sir Brian. 8)
Now I live out in the boonies of Mohave County, Az. There's not much out here cept SCA and Adrian Empire. The problem we're having with those is our work schedules, we aren't free Saturdays (lady works til 6pm:( ) so in a way we're on our own. It's alright though, I have over 20 years of personal experience in WMA before it was even remotely popular or called that ;) and I've been working on Destreza and I:33 with her on our own. Basically when we can get a Saturday off (she has vacation days) we'll be all set. We tried to make the last Adrian Empire event, since it was a crowning and everything, but we missed it. Her weird work schedule that week combined with my lack of sleep because of that schedule and the little one needing her normal schedule basically ran me out at both ends. By Saturday morning I was exhausted.
Right now we're looking at different rebated steel blades, I'm waiting for Darksword to come out with theirs, to compare to the I:33 Albion makes. That and I have plenty of maille to work on until then ;)
As soon as our camera SNAFU is all cleared up, I'll start posting pics and videos of what we've been working on.
Sir Brian:
Well in that case you can always start your own study group! Just need some reference material and some decent dowels to get someone started on the basics! :)

I've pretty much come to that conclusion Sir Brian. I have access to some epic resources thanks to ARMA, youtube, even here. And I have me and my lady at the moment. I'm hoping I can get others to join in as well. I really think WMA/HEMA and Adrian Empire should really get along. I'm hoping to find some "recruits" through them. Unfortunately everyone here in the SCA is content with beating each other up with basically a club.
Thanks for the words of encouragement Sir Brian too, it does really help. It's always nice to know someone else feels or thinks the same way I do sometimes.

Sir Brian:
I posted another one of my matches from this tournament on YouTube. This is a quick match where I beat Alex who also trains at MASHS. I was a bit pleasantly surprised when they still called a contact and awarded me the point at the .18 second mark when I pulled my cut short as I saw the potential hazard of it landing on the back of Alex's neck and it only grazed off the top and back tongue piece of his fencing mask. :)
