On a side not, I think people tend to give satan too much credit. He seems to be view as the opposite of God, satan the ultimate evil, God the ultimate good. . . but this view is very flawed. I think a more accurate comparison would be a flea opposed against of the universe (the observable universe is about 500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles…[Read more]

In defense of the Irish, they were running toward a better armed enemy. They weren’t cowards. 😉

The same wildness that would cause the Irish to break rank and then get ridden down by the patiently waiting English cavalry?

Oh hogwash. So you’re trying to telling me that your oh so knightly bros have never poked you, put you in a headlock, or jokingly threaten to plop something slimy, crawly, or moist upon thy personage?

Hail Giselle! Thy compliment is indeed kind, and I shall attempt to assist with what knowledge I know and experience I experienced, but I shall give you fair warning. . . I am far from a sword master.

WOOD/BAMBOO
Pros. These can be used for more realistic training and are definitely better in regard to weight and rigidity. Bamboo also doesn’t hurt too badly.
Con. You will likely need gloves and possibly a helmet or padded cap (Especially for wood). I personally don’t like them because they break. . .
POLYPROPYLENE (Hard plastic)

When and if it comes to protective gear, I recommend that if you can’t dump a bit of money ($400-$600 for one person) into the real stuff, get motorcycle gloves, a helmet (I use a ProForce Thunder Padded Combat Head Guard with Face Cage), a throat guard (Gorget), and some form of “breastplate”.
Why wont it let me post the rest. . . ? 😒

Hello! Thank you for replying so soon!
Ah, thank you for the tips. Maybe I should have mentioned that we own quiet a few polypropylene and some wood and bamboo. My dad also has a collection of mettle swords ranging from cavalry and claymores to catanas and sabers. So, I’m kinda past those stages and was really looking for a mettle blade…[Read more]
It sound like you might be looking for what is called a side-sword, a.k.a Spada da lato (Italian) or cut-and-thrust rapier. They are fairly light blades (2-4 pounds), range around 3 ft, are single handed, and are used for cutting and thrusting. Basically it’s a mix between a rapier and a arming sword.
Haha! I just came to the conclusion today that what I was looking for must be a side-sword!
I’m considering this one.
Do you know anything about Kingston Arms?
Thanks for the help and the Hema website is awesome!!! I’d heard of Hema but never knew there was a whole thing set up…[Read more]
No, unfortunately I don’t. I would try and check as many reviews as you can.
Another thought (Way to blow money 🙄😆). A side sword would pair well with a targe, buckler, or dagger.
Yeah, but I’m not gonna blow money at the moment……..
Oh, a dagger.
*Stares off into distance with stary eyes*
Okay, stop it, I don’t have THAT kind of money. I’m gonna have to save up for this sword a little, and I just can’t do anything else yet……. Though i would love a dagger.
The reviews seemed good, but if you had some background…[Read more]
