Chicago sword fighting classes?

February 11th, 2011 admin

Question by Sophia: Chicago sword fighting classes?
I’m looking for a medieval sword fighting class/course somewhere near Chicago.
do you know any places in Illinois that teach European sword fighting???

Best answer:

Answer by Curious George
I would start by looking into a local SCA chapter (Society for Creative Anachronism). They often host the padded practice sword fights at the Renaissance Festivals. They might be able to point you in the right direction, or perhaps even have a class available.

The only warning I would give you is some SCA affiliated people take things too far… They don’t bath regularly because medieval folks didn’t do so…

In medieval movies, why do we see older men sword fighting?

August 5th, 2010 admin

Question by Robert M: In medieval movies, why do we see older men sword fighting?
Medieval movies Brave Heart, Robin Hood, and the like…

Answer by SmAsHnDaSh
Teens could not fight, they were not called men unless they had been trained well and they were just not trusted battling. But movies like Lord of the rings and Modern Medieval movies u see alot more younger men. Things have change in our day, lol

Olympics medieval sword fighting should or shouldn’t?

June 3rd, 2010 admin

Question by anoymonus: Olympics medieval sword fighting should or shouldn’t?
be in the games

Best answer:

Answer by You and I
Ah, well, er, why not!

They have beach volley ball after all and they once had ballroom dance.

That would be one heck of a suit of armor required to keep them healthy though.

For fencing you can look into the LA International Fencing Center here: http://www.lafencing.com/

If you are looking for more broadsword, knights in armor type sword work, I can only suggest checking out the local Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). If there are formal classes, these are the folks that would know. http://www.westkingdom.org/ or http://www.sca-caid.org/

Sword fighting techniques?

October 14th, 2009 admin

Question by Miles: Sword fighting techniques?
I have competition coming up, with the odds slightly in my opponent’s favor. Though he’s not particularly familiar with sword fighting, his sword is of oriental design, and weighs about 3 pounds. It is about equal length to mine, but mine weighs about 12 pounds. I am stronger than him, and a bit more experienced, but I still fear he greatly has the upper hand. Any tips to overcome this? Thank you all who answer.

Best answer:

Answer by -=D3VILDOG=- *Wildcard*
