RE: Ages- We have several members who's younglings wanted to participate, so what we started to do was this.
The first practice of every month (we meet weekly) is deemed "kid friendly". During those nights, we do forms/kata/dulons ONLY. No sparring, no blade on blade contact at all.
Each Adult member can bring, and is responsible for working with 1 child. You have to be responsible for the child you bring, and are required to see to it that they follow all rules. If you, or the child break the rules, you get one warning (unless it is a major issue like striking at someone with intent to harm), after that, you are required to leave for the night. If we have an incident where the same child is asked to leave for the night on 2 occasions, they are no longer welcome at the event.
We have 4 instructors for our group, and we simply rotate who deals with the younglings group, so no one is continually stuck with them (you'd be amazed how many favors, saber parts, and or free meals you can barter by being willing to take someone's turn in the rotation for them!)
Hope the info was useful, it seems to be working for us so far, other than those nights, we have a firm rule of 18 or older to attend with no parent, and liability waivers are required for all who attend.

A very good rule that will go a long way to save your collective butts  |

I need somebody to move to Dallas, Tx lol. I want to join a saber club. I know I cant be the only saberlover in the DFW but it sure seems that way. I have no sword training but I'm more than willing to learn. I just got my first saber and a few other friends are looking to get one. Could be the beginning of our own club. We'll see.
I'm in DFW. |

Agreed, its good to see some information come up that feels like quality guidelines. Too often I have asked similar questions and got back things like "just hang out with people you know and call it a club" and my favorite on the age questions was "does it really matter?" Any way thanks to those here putting out some great info |

What part of Australia? This week has seen the beginnings of a club in Sydney. Only time will tell how it goes, but a couple of experienced Mediaeval metal weapons fighters are seeing how we can convert swords to sabers. So far, so good! Oh, and we are pulling together a group order of sabers to save on postage...  |

Very interesting thread, some very good pointers as me and a friend is playing around with the idea of trying to get a club up and running.
Sadly we have no experience with any sort of sortfighting, so the only thing we have to go on are various videos on youtube and our own imagination...and sadly the only experience I have is 8 years of Tae-kwon-do (when I was 8 till about 16) and some 15 years of roleplaying ^^ so nothing as impressive like I've seen from others members!
This is one of those times I wished I lived in the US, seems to be alot more interested there for this sort of thing.
