Get yourself to a NTP 1.0 to establish a good base if you are able to travel. There are several coming up.
FWIW, suggesting I drop bread and travel to a seminar rather than letting me see something critical is generally considered a very bad sign . If it's impossible to get any insight into solo ...

Edit: I don't know why that second quote won't work.

[Me ^_^], nobody who posts on this site will dare to make the claim that judo doesn't work in combat.
It was an illustration through analogy, which I raised because the so-called distinction raises so much vitriol in the things I do know ...

John:
I'm sorry. The advice I gave you was bad. The article I referenced is indeed on the the website, albeit it is in the members only section.

I have a specific question. I'm taking up writing, and your typical fantasy setting is my genre so far. One thing I'd like to do is have some semblance of reality viz. historical ...

Hi!

I just signed up for the boards. I found the ARMA page some time ago, and I peruse it frequently. I'd love to learn how to fight with a sword; however, there's no groups around here that I'm aware of, and I'm not convinced in the efficacy of lone practice.

The reason I signed up today is ...
