I'm with you there %100. I've done the exercise bit a few times, but it seems I always end up falling off the wagon because I hate doing it even though I love the results. Or rediscovering vending machines and sugary treats, one of the 2. But I'm up over #270 again, so I might have to suck it up and start doing conventional exercise again before Doc tries to stick me on HBP meds or something. Maybe I ought to look into the local HEMA groups or something so I can at least change it up.

I read a book series called The Mongoliad that might be of interest in this thread. The basic story is a group of European knights resisting Mongol invaders in Eastern Europe. Anyway, the authors practiced and used European martial arts to write/choreagraph fight scenes.

People who practice HEMA actually use written historical treatise for the specific weapon of choice. i.e there are actual Naval manuals for cutlass and Hussar treatise for saber and so forth. The idea is to use and learn from real historical text in order to preserve the true integrity of the art. Therefore you have to use said materials to be accepted in the HEMA world for tournaments.
