On this day three years ago we had a lot of fun taking out the trash:

Yes, we're a lot better today :D
@bekopharm 👍 Very nice footage! Cutting twice looks so easy in cinema or tv, but seems to be very difficult in reality. Or is that maybe because of this (heavy and long?) kind of sword?
@bekopharm Btw: that looked like a sharp blade. Do you use this for training?
@ubo yes, in training but not with partners. For this there are "sharp simulators" that are basically plastic ones with a saw teeth like shape.
It really depends on what is trained.
e.g. not going to waste a sharp on a pell (beside some half-swording mebbe).
@bekopharm "plastic ones with a saw teeth like shape" 😱
I don't think I would ever like to train with you! 🙂
@ubo how comes? I've a rrrreally good record with the local hospital 😜
@ubo Here's a more educated description by Keith Farrell on such a sim: https://www.keithfarrell.net/blog/2017/03/review-black-fencer-sharp-simulator-longsword/
@bekopharm What? No way! 😨
@ubo well I suppose we can start out with foam wasters 😂
@bekopharm You didn't look old and weak to me. 😁
