The Meyer Frei Fechter Guild will certify and support new study groups with at least a partial focus on Joachim Meyer. A study group is at least 2 MFF members guilded together under a study group charter. Study groups are supported through our website (resources and Articles), our member's area (study group plans and technique explanations and videos) and through free workshops and seminars. Each study group will get 2 free seminars per year, more if requested. These workshops will help establish the curricullum and help the study group members achieve our internal rankings and advancing knowledge on Meyer's Kunst Fechten. Most importantly the workshops and seminars expose new members to skills of senior students and help motivate them on the martial path. A rising tide lifts all boats....
