On Saturday the course takes 5 hours, we will keep a short snack break and we’re sure you would like to get a good snack with you! You can get more speed to the sword-making, if you bring with you your own knife with you. You get all the material in the course. The course is ment for beginners! Foam sword fighting (some time called ”boffering”) is a sport spirited sword play in which the combatants fight with foam covered weapons, which are usually self-made. No protective gear is necessary and you can always join others as long as you have weapons that have been built by the book. The rules are that if you get a hit to a limb, that limb can’t be used, for example if you lose a leg you start hopping on one and same goes for your arms. You are out of the game if you either take one hit to the head/torso or lose the same limb twice (both legs or arms) but note that you are still considered “alive” if you have lost one leg and one arm. The counting of what limbs you have lost, how many hits you have taken and whether you are “alive” or not is your own responsibility. Foam sword fighting is great for anyone over 15 years, even adults can join in. The most active participants are youngsters and young adults, since it offers great adrenaline rushes and playful but tough exercise for those who yearn for adventure. Whether you are thick or thin, an athlete or a couch-potato foam sword fighting is a great sport and hobby nevertheless. |
