Jukka Salmi

My name is Jukka Salmi and I´m running the Jyväskylä branch with the help of my long time friend Daavid. I also hold the position of the president of JHMS.

I´ve always been interested in all swords and swordsmanship, traditional archery etc. I started training in summer 2004 after seeing Mr. Windsor´s demonstration in Hämeenlinna.

When not playing with my swords, you can find me studying physics or enjoying a pint of stout and playing snooker.

Daavid Väänänen

I´m Daavid Väänänen, branch assistant of Jyväskylä branch and the vice president of Jyväskylän Historiallisen Miekkailun Seura. At the moment I´m also studying physics in the University of Jyväskylä. If I´ve got time I enjoy having a pint (or few) of fine beer, preferably stouts with (or without) good company. I´m also keen on both indoor and outdoor climbing and doing different kinds of pushups.
