For learning:
When in doubt, return to the source. Most existing manuscripts can be found at Wiktenauer.
Youtube is a great place to find instruction, however not all videos necessarily contain current interpretations. Martin Fabian, Bjorn Ruther, and Schildwache Potsdam can all be relied on.
For structured learning, Duello.tv offers online classes for Italian swordplay at a reasonably affordable rate. Their introductions are free.
Marozzo.com is another option for structured learning of Bolognese swordsmanship.
For gear:
If you want to begin collecting gear, it should be purchased in the following priority. Talk to the club about what specific choices within each category are best.
Mask
Gloves
Jacket, Gorget, & Joint Protection
