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

caught wrong footed!
have been laid up a bit with my back this last week no TKD and no broadsword. I did do some bokken at TKD which has the same cuts just in a different order.
had my guards video assessed and was disappointed to be told and see that i was wrong footed! It felt weird while i was going through the exercises but for some reason i didn't notice.
Did a little bit of Irish stick on Monday with my boys with the padded sticks i've made.
