I've been doing HEMA and learning to fight with a sword and shield is really cool and good exercise. It's nice to be moving more and doing something nerdy whilst meeting new people. Recently I brought most of my safety kit and I'm hoping to get a sword soon too.
There are a couple of people with huge two handed swords at the club, those look like a lot of fun. I don't think a Guts sword would do you any good without the super strength to go with it.
I hope to see internet videos of you swinging a tree around someday ☺️.
What is HEMA?
Historical European Martial Arts. Learning to fight with a sword in the style of the renaissance masters of Europe. Currently learning side sword and buckler, so a sword shorter and thicker than a fencing foil which you can cut and thrust with and a shield about the size of a dinner plate.
