Getting Into The Thick of The Action!

Aiden of Oreland:
As some of you may not know I am just beginning to get into Medieval activity. I have alway had a fascination with it. But as I become of age I look past the the books and tales and search for a "piece of the action". But... I do not know the way... And that brings me to the question. I would like to start joining(when I turn 18, which is 2 years from now.) SCA events and learn medieval Martial Arts. Know of any local PA groups? Or even better joining one of you? For I would find more comfort among my comrades. Also, what gear would I need head to toe. I have a "heavy duty SCA helmet" but thats it. And i constantly browse on by-the-sword, medievalcollectables, and albion swords. I figured maybe buy flat riveted chainmail. But anyway I would love to know where to start when I turn 18.

Sir James A:
Thorsteinn or LrdMurchadh are probably the ones to ask for SCA stuff. I know you can get in on "youth combat" before you are 18 with parental consent. Beyond that... I don't know.

Sir Edward:

There might be some WMA/HEMA options up there too, in addition to SCA, but I don't know off the top of my head. The ones that spring to mind are MEMAG in eastern MD, and NYHFA, up in NY, both of which will be impractical due to distance. But study groups start up all the time, or you can start your own.

The SCA has groups all over the place, so it probably wouldn't be hard to meet up with them and see what they have to offer locally.

Yep! I'm here!
