So I live in High Point, and I was wondering if anyone would like to do a weekly sparring, training, fighting thing.  I'm a little rusty, and want to get back in the "swing" of things....lol

 Hello David,
                         I am interested in the spar training, although, I may not offer much in the way of competition or offer a good fight. This was a big reason for my choosing to become a sorcerer.  I would enjoy it all the same and knowing you have had a great deal of experience with it makes me even more excited to join in. Who knows, I could go for most improved fighter. Heh.
                          I had not yet taken the time to see how far you are from me, but that likely would not be a deterrent.
So mark me down as affirmative,
Here is hoping more like the idea,
Marloff

Depending on when it would take place I'd like to attend. My personal experience with sword fighting is hit 'em with the business and so I probably won't be much good for actual practice.

I guess David has volunteered to be the instructor.

David has taught me a thing or two of combat, even if he doesn't know it.  I wish I were closer, but almost 4 hours is a long haul for weekly practice.

For what it's worth Fridays work best for me cuz I don't have work then, but I still probably won't be able to make every week.

I was thinking of a once a week event at a public park in either high point or greensboro. Meet at 4 or 5 and practice and fight until people want to leave or the park closes. I work night shift with weekends off, so evenings would be better. Was thinking of Sunday eve or every other Sunday.

Every other Sunday evening would work for me. If commute proves to be easy I would concider every week.

Seconded on every other Sunday. The commute to High Point is about 2 hours but if it is in the evening I can request the morning shift at work and be there in time.

Ok, so every other Sunday works for everyone so here we go:
1. Wear clothes you are comfortable in and ok if they get stained
2. Wear boots or shoes that you would actually fight in.
3. Bring fluids to stay hydrated.
4. Being weapons you want to train with, I have a loaner sword, shield and two handed sword, but that's about it.
5. Have fun!

So evenings may be hard to do in a park since most close at dusk. I will look on campus and ask if we can use space there, or if all else fails use the grounds around my apartment complex, there is plenty of grassy areas to use.

To piggyback with David, 
I'd also be willingly to do some instruction during events at downtime if anyone would be interested. I'd love to come join and help David with this but I right now I just cant make the 3 hour drive back into NC once a week. Or if anyone is close to the VA border, I've got enough space to do a little something.
 

Ok so let's start on Sunday the 21st. Address is 1205 Glenstone Trail High Point 27265. I hope to see many if you Ornites! Let's have some fun and stuff....or things :)

PM me if you want my phone number in case you get lost or something.
