Not that I know of....the closest actual vendor to Chicago is Swordmasters.... but they're in Louisiana.

The majority of the vendors are back east with a smaller number of us in California.

You might check with the clubs out there. Our club and one of the other clubs in out area do keep some stock on hand of the basics and we put together weapons on site.

Purple, that "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)" was a great read for a noob like me. I have another thread about equipment for novice competitions and that actually answered most questions. very helpfull
