Hi
I just wonder if there are any good resources on the internet for swordfighting, with broadsword(its bredsvärd on swedish).
I found www.aemma.org and i have checked that out...
Else, any good books?

The ARMA is without doubt the best site on the Internet for Western swordsmenship. ARMA has a large number of historical manuals and a large number of articles that will help you get started.
As John Clements pointed out in a recent thread on the ARMA forum, "A broadsword is an early 17th century form of cutlass or backsword, essentially a saber like weapon".
