New York Times:
Longsword enthusiasts are resurrecting ancient sword technique as a modern, organized sport, with timed bouts and complex rules.
This isn’t LARP but a whole different aspect. I’d love to see one of these tournaments on TV or in person.
Just another type of fencing except the blades are bigger. I used to love to compete with the Saber, but I could see being interested in checking this out 20 years ago. Too old and beat up to do this now.
I can’t get past the bruises on that woman.
LOL Having done it, I know it’s the price you pay (and a badge of honour for many) in any martial art.
Great video. I appreciate you guys finding these little gems. I also really enjoyed the on on air bags.
Thanks! One of the neat things about The Loop is there are three people with different viewpoints. We all cover the “important” Mac stuff but, at least for me, I also post stuff I think is cool or interesting. Good to see it noticed/appreciated!
I did two plays that required swordfighting, and I was mighty glad for the choreography.
