Boffering, more commonly known as soft sword/padded weapon fighting, is an easy and safe martial art that models old weapon fighting styles with cheap and soft instruments. All boffer equipment is padded to ensure the safetyness of the sport without the need of other protective equipment. This sport can be done for the fun of it or for learning some historical weapon fighting. At its core, boffering is about having a fun way of getting some sweat on. In this trial lesson we learn the basic rules of the sport, try out one-on-one fighting and then get in to group fighting scenarios. For the lesson you only need clothes that fit indoor excercise environment, shoes that can be used in an indoor activity and a water bottle. If you wish you may also take with you some gloves (for example: cycling gloves) for the protection of your hands or protective goggles (for example: floorball goggles). |
