Twenty years ago, Noyes arrived in Japan to teach English, but ended up teaching medieval armored combat. Noyes is a long-time member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, which, according to its website, dedicates itself to "re-creating the skills and arts of 17-th century Europe". The SCA is known for its large competitive battles in which thousands of people participate.

Sounds like a good way to end up in the hospital with shattered bones. Those swords do a tremendous amount of damage even if they have no edge.

Interestingly, this castle apparently recreates the European and not the Japanese Middle Ages.

i have so many practical things i need money to accomplish
i cant justify spending money on a sword...so i just window shop
one-a-these days, tho...i'd like to get a real viking sword
and this one would be one of my top picks
watch the video...the sword is awesome...they could send Jason, Freddy Krueger and the zombie army atcha and youd cut them to pieces
love it

Saw this and thought it might be up your alley...
Man, is it ever RAINING here. Buckets and buckets, water 5” deep flowing in the normally dry drainage ditch. I’m starting to rust!
