If you watch TV any day of the week, one thing is for sure, reality based shows are hot. People love to see reality as it is happening instead of watching boring sitcoms.
Today, reality shows are not the only hot item going, people are turning to reality based events such as live re-enactments, Fencing, self-defense training and LARP events (live action role playing events) as a form of entertainment for themselves.
With all of these events, tools are needed in order to teach, act, or train. For example when it comes to fighting during LARP events, foam swords (also known as LARP swords) have become the preferred weapon of choice. With foam sword fighting, no protective clothing is needed, and the style is more geared towards how a knight or barbarian might fight with a weapon and shield.
This allows for a realistic look which adds to the drama and excitement of a live event.
Foam based weapons are also great for practicing fencing, without the need to use real steal based swords. This will help you improve your fencing skills while providing safety during training.
