Please, I ended up having to miss it due to family obligations ad a trip my wife had to go on. We just couldn't afford both with the rising cost of just about everything so I gave up mine. Bummer

I knew a bunch of people there and really looked forward to training with NYHF and Christian Tobler. Oh well there's always next year and I do have my Saturday study group.

Sorry to hear that.

My younger brother Mike did go with my nephew Zack.

Pros-he learned some techniques and it illuminated some of the ideas and questions he had from Christian Tobler's books.

Cons- almost everyone there had been involved in swordsmanship for years or went with a group. Mike has done neither so he and Zack hung out with the one other non-group beginner, facilities were limited and it rained 2 nights

He said if he goes next year he's going to stay at a hotel, Mike is well beyond party animal stage so he and Zack got no sleep.

I have to make arrangments to go up and practice with him before he forgets what he learned. His phrase not mine.

Well if you all have the time your always welcome to practice with my group. We still meet on Saturdays and now that the summers here we'll be in full swing.

Believe me I wan to but I generally only get 1 Sat off a month so it's difficult with family obligations and such.
