>what got you into this
Honestly I've been into sword stuff since I was a toddler, I feel that swashbuckler movies were more popular in the 90s than today and my parents used to take me to re-enactment knight tournaments, which I guess have always been more common in Europe than elsewhere. Also I was able to start olympic fencing around age 8, which I guess also isn't super common outside Europe.
>Do you just know about sword stuff or do you practice any sword fighting too?
Honestly I'm not really good at any of it but I did do fencing, kendo and currently HEMA. Broadsword is my favorite, in some respects because it's more straightforward than a lot of other sword systems. These days there's so much information available online that you can pretty much teach yourself from scratch, not only are the original sources available online in (mostly) modern English but there's tutorials for all sorts of things. It's great fun if you can find someone to spar with you.
