I didn't see a reply from Matt, so permit me to step in and promote this group.

The Higgins Armory Sword Guild in Worcester, MA does regular German 
longsword training classes (which Matt is now taking), as well as regular 
practice sessions and occasional special events.  The guild focuses on 
recreating western martial arts based on the historical 
manuals.  Information is on the guild web site:

An upcoming special event may be of interest to Regia folks in the 
area.  Stephen Hand will be doing two day workshop on historical sword and 
shield techniques in early November.  More information at:
