  • @RPGaddictC Foam and rubber bounce, wood wouldn't bounce as much. Go with wood if you are after realism and don't mind pain/potential broken bones.

  • Another grip that I learned while fighting in the SCA is to grip the handle with your thumb and index finger, and then loosely wrap the other fingers around the handle; this allows the handle to pivot at those two fingers. As you make a strike, as the sword is just about to make contact, tighten the other three fingers, giving a little bit more power to the hit.

  • I never knew the real way to hold a sword, but for some reason I naturally held my wooden sword I made like your supposed to... weird huh?

  • Can someone link me to a tutorial of a sword like the dude in this video?

  • Thank you so much, because I have been losing to a lot of matches with my friends. Now they don't know what just happened to them, because of you my friend. Post some more vids if you can, because it's a lot of fun from you. Oh, and do you know how to fight with only a long sword? If you do, I want to face you some day.

  • @mattyzdog and also makes it easier to disarm,which would be extremly easy with a steel sword

  • If you are going to do this moves with real swords....your wrist will say: "stop that!" :-)

  • @mattyzdog that's why modified saber grips exist....do the following as above, but angle the thumb slightly

  • @mattyzdog tighen your other digits?

  • Do these foam swords hit off each other well or would wooden swords be better for realism
