It's a bit frustrating, having swords (and other assorted nasties), and not knowing how to use them correctly. It's sort of akin to collecting classic cars, but not knowing how to drive them!
I live in the north-western corner of Michigan's lower peninsula, and there aren't any WMA groups near me that I am aware of. Heck, even Asian martial arts are very limited in their variety (the most prevalent in my area seem to be Judo, hapkido, and kuk sool won).
Are there any fellow forum members in the Charlevoix/Petoskey area who are familiar with western martial arts, who might be able to help me out? There's only so much one can learn solo from a manual. I am especially interested in sword-and buckler, and polearms (halberd, specifically). NOT really interested in rapier/smallsword.

I'm in the Ann Arbor/Brighton Area, a bit too far for us too meet regulary, but I do viking re-enactments and such, and if I'm ever up there (some family lives in Traverse City) or if you're ever down near here shoot me a pm and if I'm up near you I'll do the same. May we meet some day friend!
