Welcome Have you ever consider the possibility of fighting like the warriors in the past, where you battle your friends with the historical weapons, as if you were fighting for your life? There would be no rules restricting where and how hard you can hit. You'll do whatever you can to stay alive. This is made possible for the first time by Realistic Sparring Weapons!
If you want to join the action and feel the thrill, head to Activities.
Selected Testimonials Grant and I have been playing with those Germans swords you've made for us, and I have to say that I am really pleased with their performance. We also slicked them up with baby oil as you suggested, and it worked great! A little too well, to be honest; I have picked up bad habits from the way my regular wooden swords grab each other. It was nice to be able to fight with an SLO (Sword Like Object) that has something like real balance. Well done.

Avalon on 7-9-2004 Everyone is thrilled with the swords. Last night really opened up their eyes to what's like to really fight. Big smiles and laughter all around. You could easily notice the shift in style after each fighter got hit - no pain, no restricted targets? Amazing!
