I know there is a medival weapon club thingie near where I live but that's not really my thing. I've once semi-contact sparred with a friend going there, him using a foam zweihander thingie and some studded leather armor and me using a regular 39 shinai and just in my hakama and gi without bogu. The guy didn't stand a chance since they just swing around like crazy. After 6 kote, 3 men en 2 do hits and not being abled to hit me back he gave up :P

I did some European fencing for awhile, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Then a friend of mine's father found kendo at a local university and thoughfully told me about it and it was exactly what I was looking for. When I was little, we would duct tape foam padding to pvc pipe and run arround a local forested area beating each other. Thankfully I found kendo when I was 18. When I was 14 or so, I went to an SCA event, and it looked interesting, but after meeting several of the SCA people I was a little scared. Not all, but most of the people there, took their "character" way too seriously.
