       Do I know any folks here who are into #HEMA? I’m trying to figure out if it might be a good fit for the zergling and getting conflicting information from different sources online as to how appropriate it might be for a tween and trying to suss out how much of that is club-specific and how much is just HEMA in general.

       @monkeyninja I run a HEMA class in London, and we accept 16+ members. In theory you could run a safe class for younger kids using soft boffers instead of steel swords, and some clubs may do that. But I’d investigate such a club thoroughly, check certificates and observe a few lessons to see how they run.
