"Long back, swords were vital tools of survival, and today that knowledge can still be used. Consider this, one day you are walking through a park when someone tries mugging you with a baseball bat, or you are otherwise attacked by armed opponents. Unless you are a 4th degree blackbelt, you won't win this. But suppose there is a fallen branch by you, or a pipe lying in the alleyway. Perhaps this would happen on your way back from baseball practice, and you just happen to have a bat of your own. This guide may very well save your life. Stick with Boffer swords (pvc pipe covered in soft foam), plastic swords or wooden swords when training training with a friend. When training under a master use live steel; it has a more realistic feel…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

Stick with boffers, wooden swords particularly can lead to broken fingers, cracked ribs, concussions and the like if used without proper protective equipment. Even the 'plastic' sparring swords can break fingers or give nasty bruises. |
