So are the two instrucional classes held at the same time or seperately?
In other words, will I be able to attend both?
And what is "the usual training unifrom" for ARMA?

Both sessions will be incorporated into the single event,so yes,you can participate in both.

Our usual uniform is nothing more than black pants(sweats or whatever),athletic shoes(color makes no difference) and a red ARMA T shirt(any red T shirt is fine for non-members though we prefer one with no lettering).

We look forward to seeing you and any other aspiring students/enthusiasts of the sword that would like to take advantage of the opportunity to spend the day studying historically-accurate European Swordsmanship with John Clements, arguably the worlds leading authority on the subject.I'm certain a good time will be had by all.Best regards...

With all due respect, as long as someone is in athletic apparel, why does it matter what color or type of shirt someone is wearing??

Hey, thanks for jumping in there Shane! Sorry I didn't get back here sooner, looks like you answered all the questions though.

With regard to clothing, ARMA members wear a "uniform" when we train to help create a serious, disciplined atmosphere. You are welcome to attend and wear whatever you want, but clothing such as T-shirts with large images or writing can be distracting to others.

Just a bump.

I'm hoping (crosses fingers) to be able to go.

Shane Smith · Post by **Shane Smith** » Sat Mar 08, 2003 8:58 am

Thanks for the bump Vladimir. I hope you can make it too.John Clements doesn't make it to Virginia very often(read "never")...

AS an aside,you(and any other adult on this forum) are welcome to train with us anytime you would like as we're in your backyard practically.You do not have to be a member of ARMA and it's absolutely free.We have spare wasters and the like to loan if thats an issue.Best regards.
