I started Amtgard my sophmore year in Highschool, after a friend mentioned playing nero with his folks when he was much younger, another friend said something similar happened at a park nearby every week. He took me out, and I swung foam, and it was righteous blue foam covered in duct tape. I eventually moved away and revivified another park near where I lived with some help, it still runs strong to this day. I came back to Forsaken lakes not long after, and am once again getting it going.
