Hi I am currently in the new Sunday class and just recently got on to the Forum. Was wondering if anyone could recommend either videos or books to help me check my form for the guards and cuts. Thank you trying to get some practice in before next class.

Ya boy Dean just made Apprentice! Congratulations Dean!
Hello everyone. It's been a while but I hope you're all well.

I'm selling my sparring gear....not my sword, still going to keep up the practice, but everything else.

$200 For the kit. Includes barely used large mask, reinforced leather Gorget, and SPES gloves.

I'd love to see them go to the school for loaner gear, or to someone who is going to have the time to attend classes regularly.

PM me for more photos.

People! The 2017 AoA cake has arrived!!!
Salvete, I am a freshman of UCSB, and I major in Medieval Studies. I am well aware of the misconceptions surrounding Medieval Martial Art, and I firmly believe in its effectiveness. I intend on joining Academy of Arms for a more systematic approach to the study of HEMA, and for more scholastic reasons, I want to explore a new side of medieval life. Does the school only teach German longsword? If so, then by which master do the students follow? (Just curious, don't have a preference or dislike for particular masters)

"Das Grublein" is a grappling game from Fabian von Auerswald's Ringbuch. One player is the "King" who has to stand with one foot planted on a marked spot. If
the King moves his foot from the spot, then he loses his place and his challenger takes the spot. But the catch is that the challenger must hop on one foot! The old books say that it is "very funny to watch."
