My First Highland Broadsword Bouts

[Homer]

I would love to learn broad sword officially. All our coach has is regualr foils and epees. I do wear padding and go at my friend with a blunted baskethilt and spikeless target, whilst he has a claymore. Its fun enough but not satisfying.
Is there a place to buy actual broadsword gear?

We use their rattan singlesticks currently. Their wooden wasters are supposed to be really superb.
