[MR] Question: Where can one get training in how to use live steel?

[Tracie Ellis]

There's also Adrian Empire, but she will have to start with Shinai (think
martial arts sword type, bamboo, not rattan); and train up from there; they
call it a safety thing.

http://adrianempire.org

I thought there might have been a group called Empire of Chivalry and Steel,
but I don't know if they are active or not; nor do I know what type of live
steel they do.  You may have to google them.

Hope that also helps!
