for your amusement (sparring clips)

Postby Axel Pettersson » Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:59 am

We put together two short videos with soundtracks, the intent was mostly humorous but there I always like to get feedback on my sparring so feel free to post any constructive criticism you can give, or just enjoy the videos:

What type of neck protection are you guys using? it looks like some form of bib/gorget, but it seems practical.
Where can I get one?

Hi Cooper,

we get them from http://www.Revival.us for about 15 $/piece, they say they are special WMA gorgets but really they are just your standard lacrosse/land hockey throat protection. Works well enough though they have a better one with steel plates for 75$, overpriced IMO (we have a lot of carpenters, smiths and handymen in our group and one has started to make similar ones himself without much effort) but gives much better protection than the 15$ ones.

Hehe thanks :) .

Which swords do you mean? In the video there are steel blunts from Albion and Lutel, some with rubber stoppers attached to the point. There are also some nylon wasters, either from spain or made by one of our members. Lastly there are Hanwei federschwerts, those are the ones me and Anders use when we fence without protective gear. Very whippy but only if you have incorrect edge alignment (or if you are going for the double prellhau om purpose :D )

I meant all the swords, which you answered perfectly :D

I was thinking about buying one of those myself but I wanted to check what brands they were.

Thanks!
