Are we calling longswords broadswords now?

There is a difference. The broadsword is a *one-handed* weapon popular mostly on the British Isles. The longsword is... what you were using - a two-handed sword popular on the continent, especially Germany and Italy.

The sword I was using was a hand and a half broadsword or bastard sword, two handed long sword are longer again. We also have single handed broadswords which we use for sword & shield.

If your man in the long coat is going to use sai in a fight routine...please send him to classes first!!!

@marysiak Sorry for resurrecting, but I always understood broadsword to be a later style of sword, similar to rapiers. And a long swords to be what you used in the beginning (Also known as a bastard sword).

Couldn't make out a word of the yelling part... oh, wait, I heard "traitor"...

From a martial perspective it all isn't that good. At least they are trying. And it is stage combat, after all. While eventually one would like stage combat to look real, most of the general audience wouldn't understand it if it did. They need all the extra moves and wide misses and big swings, which are ridiculous in a real fight. The staff work is the best. The sword work is the worst. And, yes, those are longswords, not broadswords.
