It`s re-enactment Jim, but not as we know it ( opps, Trek reference...)
-actually, these kids are not bad.
Does this count as HEMA ?

They have a really good argument for saying thiers is superior as well.
A lightsaber makes a mockery of any armor standard, and just cuts right through plain *metal* weapons.... |

I Like It 
It gets away from all the "True art is the only way" Bollocks that gets spouted by certain corners in historical re-enactment and simply allows you to explore movement with a weapon (yeah-yeah lightsaber is not a weapon blah-blah george silver is god yaddayaddayadda)
I have played with some of these fake lightsabers and they are lots of fun.

I would have thought the there was just one flavour of bollocks, that is Salt and Vinegar.
Chocolate maybe.
but thats it

Bollocks in NZ reenactment
1) People cheating on the field
2) People hitting too hard on the field because a) they're too stupid to control themselves, b) they're too psychopathic to care about who they're hitting or c) their ego won't let them rein themselves in
3) People deluding themselves into thinking that being good at this hobby somehow makes them a better person than people around them
4) People deluding themselves into thinking that having more accurate/hand made equipment somehow makes them a better person than people around them
If anyone finds any of them offensive then I'd have to say they're probably guilty of at least one of the above "Bollocks Crimes" |
