EHCG - what's the story?

Dear all,

The European Historical Combat Guild has a chapter in my town, and I am thinking of dropping by to try their training.

Their website www.ehcg.net links them to the famous John Waller of the Royal Armouries in Leeds.

Can anyone give me any closer information? Their training is expensive for a poor thespian like me, so I'd be grateful for any input.

Cheers

Adam,

I am interested too, though I almost certainly don't have even one free evening a week. Please let me know what you find out.

Here is where freiman shows his extreme ignorance.

The stuff on the upper row of photos for Maestro Bollen's section looks like Tallhoffer, but when I flipped through my '67 edition (Mark Rector's translation), I failed to find correlating plates. Since I am assuming that the temptation to post fotos or vidcaps that have the participants in exact copies of the plates, I am guessing that these are from Lictenaur or Ringeck.

Did you e-mail Herr Bollen?

Freiman!

Not yet. Wanted to get the gossip first...

I am heading over to Leeds in late June and I am planning on checking out their class on thursday nights. They used to have a reputation for being a bit more theatrical but that was a while ago.
