  • you can tell they are not real swords none of you would lift them up but then again... love the sounds and shouts reminds me of watching women tennis

  • What do you mean by not real swords? They are not sharp as that would be dangerous, but other than that they are real swords. Not all swords are heavy, these are hand and a half bastard swords, properly weighted and made of steel.

  • .............no ffense at all but ppl dont talk to each other during sword fights man holywood is wrong

  • However people do talk to one another during plays, in fact it's pretty much a requirement otherwise they would be mime, and no-one wants that. People complain about the weirdest stuff on here.

  • @gueneemc lol if swords were to heavy to lift, why on earth would people fight with them?

  • @lanson0 Actually your wrong, holywood exagerrates, but there is plenty of istorical evidence to suggest exchangesof wrds during a fight- ever read the viking sagas?

  • Needs Tull. 

  • @lanson0 Wow sounds like you were alive back then and doing some pretty hefty sword work as well...are you a wizard of sorts or perhaps a nymph of some kind?

  • hmm i realise its a stage but wielding a hand and a half with two hands is a waste of combat resources if you have a free hand or even another blade you can combo giving your opponent no room for a counter

  • great acting lol

  • did that fat one just announce she see's a "CUNT" ??? they should stop looking about making observations regarding each other and just fucking kill each other! fucking pair of over dramatic cunts!!! but i guess we all kow how much women like to talk! :O)

  • @ghost00110 Two pounds is the bottom end of the curve. Four pounds the top. The general formula for a western sword is about 8 to 16oz per foot of length.

    A Katana (since everyone talks about how much lighter they are) Is about 4.5 to 15oz per foot. Real weapons were very light.

  • @gueneemc dude an actual sword is supposed to weigh no more than 2 pounds

  • Well you know what I think? I think that performance was awsome. I love it. Keep up the good work.
