Oh I hate that old dumbass arguement that european Knights were just two brutes bashing eachother with sharpened crowbars. they had as good if not better training then asian warriors and better armour and swords.

This is a vid you should show all sickly fanatic "Asian people are the only which can handle the sword"-dudes. These guys can compete with a Samurai/Ninja/Shaolin whatsoever from Asia.

Okay, these guys are good. Shure, they are tiring out quite fast, but at that pace... One of the few free plays I have seen, where you could actually see, that good-looking guard positions make sense in terms of winning as well...

@effigytormented no it's totally cool. Just messin around

[effigytormented]

@xtcarnage15586 Oh, my apologies then, it's hard to tell context and tone without a face or a voice, aye?

@temp54

If you don't want to get hurt, then spar with foam swords. But that take away much of the swordfighting I think. So if you are ready to get hurt but not injured I would recomend nylon swords. But then you would need some protection, a fencing mask and a pair of good gloves would do fine. Throw in throat protection, a cup and elbow/knee protection and you can do some more serious sparring.

[AFTrash]

These ARMA boys don't mess around...

[temp54]

So what kind of swords would you recommend (I'm assuming non-metal ones) for those of us who don't have that much experience, but wish to still spar with the minimal amount of protection needed (aka, we don't want to get hurt, and want the freedom of movement)?

@2771 the sad thing is its the europeans themselves that began that stereotype, during the 18th and 19th centuries

[effigytormented]
