Hello all.
« on: 2010-12-10, 00:39:12 »
I am a classical fencer from Missouri. I am currently studying smallsword and French foil and hope one day to learn Spanish and/or Italian rapier. I am also trying to find instruction on some historical weapons such as the dussack and the falchion but I have had no such luck. I am happy to have found this forum and glad to be a member.

Welcome to the forum!

We do have a couple of historical swordsmen on here. I'm not a classical fencer, though there are probably some contacts through the general WMA/HEMA community.
