[QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb]do people still kill each other often with swords?[/qb][/QUOTE]Not to my knowledge, but there are organizations that currently study Medieval and/or Renaissance swordsmanship. I belong to the aforementioned Association for Renaissance Martial Arts (or ARMA, as we call it). Our goal is to “focus on the interpretation and legitimate reconstruction of Medieval and Renaissance combat systems as a modern discipline.” (As quoted from the ARMA website.) In our training, we use wooden practice swords (called “wasters”), padded sparring swords, and we occasionally do test cutting with “live steel” (real swords). My group usually test cuts cardboard tubes, but I have heard of groups test cutting meat or even a freshly killed deer. We also do a limited amount of basic drillwork with blunt swords as well, but we use extreme caution, as this can be quite dangerous, even with blunts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
