Where can I find instructional videos on medieval sword fighting?

I know that this is a strange question, but the history channel really made me interested in the style and I'm at a loss for where to find any videos. If you know where to find some I would be obliged.

    There is only so much you can learn from videos, and there are a lot of videos out there that aren't particularly good. My first and best advice is to find a western martial arts group near you. It's still a fairly small community, but expanding fast.

    Here are some lists of groups and schools. Maybe there is one in your area:

    http://hroarr.com/organisations-and-clubs.html

    http://hemaalliance.com/?page_id=331

    Look for videos by the groups listed in the sites above. That will give you some assurance that they know what they are talking about. It's not a guarantee, but it's better than a bunch of yahoos fooling around in their back yards.
