ARMA Murray is a study group in the organization ARMA (Association for Renaissance Martial Arts.) (www.thearma.org)

We have turned off public commenting for this post as so very many people purposefully missed the point. Swordwind is a Historical European Martial Arts (aka HEMA) School where men, women, and teens of all sizes, races, ages, orientations, and physcial abilities can (and do!) learn historically accurate sword techniques. We, as a group, intend to continue to disabuse notions that historically accurate martial arts must be limited to large, heavily muscled cis men.
Lifting a sword is the first step in the process. Anyone who can lift it is capable of learning, of practicing, of sparring, and with enough practice and dedication: of winning.

JF's Prize Play 2013 I did not record all the bouts, but I believe these are most of them. I wanted to leave the sound intact...so apologies for the inadvertent commentary.
Hey everybody, we will not be meeting today. I, Harry, will be unable to as well as Reno and Eric. If anyone else would like to practice feel free to but I will not be able to be there.
I, Harry, will not be able to come tonight to practice. Good luck to anyone who does though. The weather is poor but we do have the Aikido room registered for today.
Hey I am sorry to post this but I will not be coming today to ARMA. I am too sick right now and I don't need to get others sick as well. Good luck today guys and have fun.
-Harry
Good news! We got the key to the Aikido room and we have it reserved for our use every Monday 5-8!
