Foam Weapon League

The Foam Weapon League is an alternative sports league that combines the best of live action role playing and martial arts, featuring male and female Warriors drawn from all walks of life, battling one-on-one in a combat circle using foam rubber weapons.

Like the WWE, each FWL Warrior has their own sci fi- or fantasy-inspired combat character name, as well as a distinctive costume to go along with it. Like a video game brought to life, Warriors wear whatever kind of makeup or costume they desire, and fight with the foam rubber armor and weapon of their choice.

Like the UFC, all FWL fights are 100% real and are not staged or choreographed in any way. FWL Warriors are real athletes who use real martial arts skills, but instead of grappling with or striking
opponents with hands and feet, they are only allowed to strike each other with approved foam rubber weapons.

In order to simulate a battle fought with real weapons, Warriors wear harnesses with bags of fake blood attached at strategic points on the body. The first Warrior to break two of his opponent's blood bags wins.

"Fake blood. Real fighting."

@TarnDarkBlade72 I'm not dissing the Foam Weapon League. It looks like fun for spectators - like having dinner while watching "mortal combat" at a Medieval Times restaurant. As for the "warriors," well, imagine the neighbor kids playing war in the park with their plastic guns. Are those kids "experiencing "the thrill of mortal comat?" Not really. Moammar Gaddafi experienced the thrill of mortal combat, not the FWL actors.

@ChicagoLogoDesign Its better than clicking keys.

The Voice Over Dude says, "The Foam Weapon League lets its warriors experience the thrill of mortal combat without getting mortally wounded."

Well, no, see, it really doesn't. When you go into what you know is a fake battle with fake weapons with no intention of killing and knowing that your opponent also has no intention of killing, then you're not really experiencing "the thrill of mortal battle." You're experiencing thrill of pretending to engage in mortal battle.
