well damn, folks, remember to put on the protective headgear before your "sword-fighting instructor" puts a sword through your head.
a quick check shows "Swordguild Portland" focuses on medieval-renaissance sword styles of various kinds - sort of a proto-fencing, often done with period-style two-handers. wow, what an unusual way to go blind.
