Online Discussion Boards
Association for Renaissance Martial Arts (link)
The Association for Renaissance Martial Arts’s (ARMA’s) forum focuses entirely on the reconstruction of historical medieval and renaissance combat techniques, both armed and unarmed. There is some discussion of weaponry and general history concerning warfare, but it is limited.
MyArmoury (link)
MyArmoury’s forums take a strongly academic and instructional tone to both research of original weapons and combat, as well as to reviews and comparisons of modern reproductions. There is some discussion of historical combat, but it is rather limited.
Schola Gladiatoria Forums (link)
A martial-minded forum where pretty much anything to do with the historical arts can be discussed. I’ll let them say it for themselves:
Military History, Martial Arts, Arms & Armour - HEMA’s Home of Free Speech - Guests welcome!
Sword Forum Online (link)
Sword Forum Online (SFO) takes a broad look at swords in general, but offers on discussion areas of specific interest: Historical European Swordsmanship. The forum itself is somewhat less academic in tone than MyArmoury, but a wide number of industry professionals and gurus post frequently.
