Try the SCA, or the Black Ravens out at Kolara (sp?).

I did it for about a year, but I was just getting too scared (Fuzz, the maniac with a long-sword and crusader kite-shield, tries to knock anyone over in range. And it _Hurts_). :D

Hey fencing sounds pretty cool. Maybe i should look into starting up or something.

Such movies as Princess Bride "Ha! I have a secret, i am also not left handed!" and Die Another Day "lovely view ;) (with no reference to fencing, but yet still a classy line" have made me want to play with long sharp pointy things.

Isn't it every man's dream to be a swash-buckling swordsman?

You have got to watch princess bride, it's so bomb for romantic adventure comedy. And for swordplay as well, not that i can really comment on how real it is, it just looks cool :D

I doubt I would make the 1st, but I'm sure I'll make something :D.

I haven't trained at UNSW yet, but UTS training has been great, i'm getting my touch back after the long layoff in the hols :). Distance, point control, it's all coming back :D. How about you?

I probbaly spelt it wrong but rapier is basically classical or theatrical fencing e.g. Zoro. A step above rapier is sabre so in other words its basically same attacks same parries as you would 4 sabre except you don't actually hit the opponent or you would end up with a bad cut:eek:

Found a good definition
Rapier: The word "rapier" comes from the Spanish term espada ropera (dress or costume sword). This term was first used in Spain in the late 1400s. The rapier is a totally civilian weapon, different from the military sword in that it generally has a long slender blade and an elaborate swept or cup-shaped hilt. The rapier is used primarily for thrusting, but can also be employed in a variety of cutting techniques. The rapiers that we use for fencing are reproductions of the mid-17th-century cup-hilt rapier, which was first developed in Spain. This type of rapier offers the most protection for the hand, and was the progenitor of the Italian foil and pe. These weapons are manufactured to our strict specifications for safety and authenticity.
