Say what you want about ARMA or JC, but thearma website is fantastic. Lots of good info on it. It is neededYou have 1)200 years of modern fencers saying Ren. period war swords were 20 pound bricks 2) eastern martial arts espoucing their own thing as well as deep seated resentment (understandable) of past colonialism to put down western martial arts 3) college culture that doesn't like the study of martial history outside of antagonism against the west 4) Hollywood

Why the hell the video skips at around 45second? I damned wanted to know what this guy is talking about!

I see that you live in Canada, there are some groups there at least. I will send you a map with some of the groups. I hope there is a group near you.

@SethMan91 your comments have been removed (by who?), but I read them in my inbox. I appreciate the lengthy explanation. Explaining martial arts with words is always tough! It will be nice to see some more complete articles and/or videos showing specifically JC's new krumphau interpretation, as I have not been able to find any. Ironically enough, I have seen some very clear, specific, and detailed articles arguing AGAINST JC's idea.

Excellent video... I wish I could learn the ways of european swordsmanship that has been lost to us over the years.
