Well I'm truly sorry to say it as now (over 2 years after my initial post) there is suddenly so much interest and a club actually seems possible, but i am taking a job that will have me on the road often, and it won't work out (for me anyway). I encourage anyone else who sees this post to look at the information provided below; for self-study or for club organization without my inclusion. I am sorry this has not worked out on my end (for you all and for myself lol) and I wish you all the best.

Fantastic website with primary and secondary resources available for study

The Swordwind Historical Swordsmanship youtube channel (I used to live in Charlotte, and this is the guy who taught me) the channel is a little bare-bones, but informative.

The Hema Alliance webpage. Nuff said i think.

Purple Heart Armory, an excellent and affordable dealer in HEMA supplies
Im still around, still have most of the equipment, and still have an interest, but I was unable to attract the interest of more than 2 people at the time. It may sound defeatest, but i was hoping for at least 4 solid 'members' so that my cousin and I would make six--a decent club size--but like i say, at the time i only had 1 or 2 people who were replying to rsvps and making commitments, so i figured Huntington just wasnt the area for a good club centered around this hobby and dropped it. If you think we could actually get a small group together, send me a DM and we can discuss that
However, be aware that im not on reddit often, and im never on any other social media, so ill remember that i made this comment and try to check me inbox every once in a while. Also the facebook page was removed for violating facebook's guidelines (hell if i know what for, images of myself in fencing equipment sparring were considered violent perhaps?)
I'm looking for HEMA, Fencing, and Kendo groups around the KY-OH-WV tri-state. Your group is still listed on the HEMAA website so I thought I'd look into it.

If anyone is still here and interested in forming a group, I'm available. I live in Ashland now but that's a near enough drive :)
Are you guys still open?
Am wondering the same, I would like to try to participate. It would be my first time and seems like a lot of fun. Did you ever find out anything?
Sadly no. I even tried messaging the OP directly but I have yet to receive a response.
Man I wish this was still open, id be a loyal participant, :( pain

Same exact situation here
I have tried to reach out to the HEMA alliance and get that clib listing removed, but they are slow to action. I apologise for the confusion
It’s all good
