The gentleman who teaches her is a member of ARMA: http://www.thearma.org
HEMA is similar: https://www.hemaalliance.com
If you search for medieval, Renaissance, or European martial arts, you will find a lot of information.

thanks for telling her--I was going to but got distracted and I really want to see them

 

[earlene]

That's weird. They show up for me. Oh, I know why. I put them in a private album here on SMF Media. I'll go make it public.

Edit: Okay, changed the settings. Now you should be able to see them.
