Since you like to fence with non-traditional items, you may want to check out the Dog Brothers. That is a loose knit group of fighters who spar with every type of weapon. They have been around for over a decade, but recently started making videotapes.

Those two links will give you a start.
Thanks for the welcome, am hoping to be able to contribute to the group. Am not at the computer very frequently because of the press of work. Thanks for the advice regarding places to look for data on fighting/fencing with the Corvo. Can't even get one, so am going to have to learn to work metal and make my own. That will be fun.
I see there is a fellow epee fencer here. I just came back from a lesson, not 1/2 hr ago. 2 years without fencing? I picked it up again 5 yrs ago, after 20+ not even touching the weapons.
Thanks again, will be in touch during the weekend.
