<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="courier new, courier, mono"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN>There are other schools out there of course. This is just the one I like and try and use and has a lot of documentation. There is of course the old castle training (who has a training book), There are some Dukes from the Middle who also sell training video's on spear (Duke Brannos), sword and shield (Duke Brannos I think) and feints and misdirection (Duke Finn)--I think these can be found on eBay. While I do not really care for the training style or ideas in the book there is also the "Iron Rose" which can be purchased as well, it also has a training CD that can be purchased on eBay that features Duchess Elena the author and I think Duke Finn. I very much support female fighters however (well I support all fighters, when when someone puts a helm on and steps out on
the field they are just another fighter--everyone has their individual strengths and weaknesses that they have to overcome. Some of us have more and some of us have less...and some of us are just plain gifted mutants). I just don't like the book is all. I will say this, if there are any female fighters who feel they are not getting the training they need or want (in any area of fighting they are interested in) or who feel that they are being ignored and pushed away from heavy fighting please let someone know, you gain nothing from keeping silent.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Iron Rose also has an e-group at <TT><A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HouseIronrose/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HouseIronrose/</A> if you are looking for another safe place to ask questions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Most of us here can give you the same sorts of answers, however it seems to be a good support
group for those who feel they need that sort of thing.</TT></FONT></DIV>
