 __TOC__
 The availability of such training is largely dictated by circumstances. In times of war, instruction is provided more freely to comrades, as the need for able-bodied fighters outweighs concerns over cost or scarcity of resources. However, in peacetime, this training is rare and difficult to obtain. The primary obstacle is not just the expertise required, but also the considerable expense of providing adequate weapons and armour for recruits. A peasant or common labourer lacks the means to acquire such equipment independently, and without the backing of a noble patron or military institution, even those willing to learn will find themselves unable to practice effectively. Moreover, proper training demands space for drills, formations and live combat exercises — resources not readily available outside military encampments, garrisons or well-funded mercenary companies.

 Such training is made more freely available in times of war to comrades, but otherwise it's quite rare — particularly because weapons and armour must be made available at the trainer's expense.  There's simply no way for a peasant to afford such things, nor the space needed for practice and manoeuvres.
