Here
at the Northsiders
study group, we always welcome serious-minded students as new
members. Our classes are normally held every Wednesday night from
7:00 - 9:00 at the Missouri City Community Center (see "Where
to Find Us"). Students are encouraged to show up 15-30
minutes early to stretch and warm up.

Class
Uniform -
New students should come to class wearing a plain white t-shirt
(no pocket) and plain black warmups (no logos, stripes, sport
shirts, etc. on either). Wear some sort of athletic shoes with
a decent grip (shoe color doesn't matter) so that you won't slip
while fencing. No jewelry, watches, belt packs, etc. are allowed
to be worn during class as they could get broken and present a
safety hazard. Glasses can be worn, but we do recommend safety
glasses if you have them; you will also want some sort of eyeglass
band to make sure they stay on.
Equipment
-
To start historical fencing, all you will need some sort of wooden
sword (waster) to practice with. Our club will often will have
wasters on hand for sale to new class members, but a student may
begin with a wooden dowel (See "Wasters"
in the Equipment Section for specifics and details regarding wasters).
Do
NOT bring
katanas (wooden or otherwise), bokken or shinai because these
are not tools associated with European arts and weapons, and do
not bring decorative "wall-hanger" swords, sharpened
swords, or anything (even wooden dowels) made of pine as these
are unsafe and do not fit what we do.
