[–] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) Medieval combat. I'd love to learn how to sword fight, like genuinely sword fight. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] crushyerbones@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Look into Hema. I'm sure there's a club local-ish to you and if not just start one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Totally doable. Many large cities in the US have places that teach European sword. There are two primary manuals of arms, Meyer (German) and Liberi (Italian). Different schools will tend to teach either German or Italian fencing. Longsword duels--assuming you weren't armored--likely would have been over in a matter of seconds for the most part. permalink fedilink source parent
