orly? I always figured the LARP people to be nerds with plastic swords.. had no idea they were so violent.
*rolls eyes* I'm glad when people take suggestions nicely.
Some LARP events hold real sword tournament and even jousting competition.

Thats awesome. Ive always wanted to learn proper fighting techniques with swords.
Stereo, wanna help me open one of these in the UK?
I'm seriously considering this... All those Englishmen I get to stab with a Longsword..... I mean,, train with... yes.... Sorry to say, but sword fighting with long swords is not swashbuckling like this. In fact in his video they are not utilizing some useful parts of the weapon.
I can't find the video I really wanted to, but this is more accurate imo than the OP's video YouTube Video Placeholder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bdMfaymGlk Heck, watch this video with viking sword and shield...doesn't make for great movie scenes huh?

Vikings =/= all of European fighting styles.
that and there were different eras where different fighting styles were used. Conagh: Did you vote no or Yes? Odin.Godofgods said: » Thats awesome. Ive always wanted to learn proper fighting techniques with swords. You can come quite close in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Their weapons are usually made of rattan and the best of them balance like the real thing. Even so they do not move quite like steel. I learned sword and shield, greatsword, and polearm with them.

They're "soft", but so is a paintball. You get aggressive enough and you'll have the bruises to show for it. |
