just found a Melbourne Sword Guild that train every Thursday- the other side of town, but interesting never the less. The appear to be French, English and German focussed, so nothing Gaelic/Highland to draw me in, but i'll keep tracks on them.
I see that the Wexford Faction (ISF) have developed their site and are emphatic that they have no lineage but are just trying to revive bataireacht. fair enough. of course it is mainly just interpretation, without solid proof of lineage pretty much everything is the same at some point; furthermore, most martial arts have a degree of interpretation injected into them at some point- sure it may be by people that are in direct lineage from the originators, but so many split, diverge, tweak and change the original thing they were taught.
adding the site to the links
will start up again on the Broadsword this week as my back is much improved
