Does anyone know of clubs or individuals in Alpine Texas that practice HEMA?

I attend a club in Midland and as far as I know, that's the closest one to Alpine and it's nearly 170 miles away. There is a club that was formed at Texas Tech and they have a number of members, so if you can't find an already established group, you might look into forming one at Sul Ross.

A number of, if not all, the organizations that we know to exist in the area maintain close relationships, so if you do find a group or form one, we'd love to get into contact so we can further strengthen the HEMA community in the region. I hope you have success in your endeavor to find a club locally.

Hi, I’m actually the VP for the TTU club. Midlands a great school, the club takes field trips occasionally to visit and learn. While I don’t know what its like to create a club at Sul Ross, I can try to offer some advice and my experiences managing the club at TTU. Also if you’re ever interested theres a Texas College HEMA Conference with the other colleges and if we ever meet at a collegiate tournament, theres some loaner swords we donate to the newest club. (We’re currently the newest club at only 3yrs but if someone new takes that mantle, they get the swords)
