content: It's still evolving quite a bit, but I will say there is a conscious effort in the people I've met to avoid falling into the same traps that sport fencing has in it's evolution (and to some extent the traps that have befallen JSA\other continually practiced arts). Part of that is that It's not like HEMA/WMA people are fighting hundreds of years of tradition and interpretation, since we're reviving what was effectively a dead combat art from old manuals. There's no such thing as a "living expert", so everyone still has the student mentality for the most part, even top tier instructors.  In some respects, that's problematic. As there is no centralized authority in the movement, and formal ruleset for tournaments (i.e. some favor attacks over defense, disallow grappling and throws, etc). Different clubs can have very different approaches to the same material, and if nobody is diligent about historical context (i.e. experimenting with how sharp swords behave as opposed to blunts/feder/synthetics, armor/protection or lack thereof, lethality) you end up with something that's very different than what was intended.  But, at the same time, with so many different "experiments" happening all at once it's a great opportunity to help formalize something that actually works and retains the goal of being a combat art.
