I do HEMA, I.33, Talhoffer based competitive steel fighting. I primarily use the Petersen type H broadsword and 32" round shield, but I also fight sword and buckler, one and two handed spear, and Dane axe. My main focus is on the period between the end of 8th through to the mid 11th century and specifically Viking age living history. I'm pretty familiar with this period and the fighting styles, what the average guy on the ground used, line tactics, and general period related things.
