Do you have a sword in your room?

[hippy dave]

Plot twist!!

The armory is where ninja warriors sleep.

I've never seen any ninjas in my armoury.

They're that good.

Now the we have identified the ninja warriors, we need to watch what we say.

you better watch out, i have two plastic lightsabers

when i get old and get a house im going to find a master sword replica

 

[slimbizzy]

yes i have a sword and it's usually in my room but it's outside in the rain and i'm too lazy to go through that to go get it. it's a wood katana and my dad carved it for me when we were camping some number of years ago.

you couldn't slice someone with it unless you sharpened it enough, but you can sure give someone back pain for life.

"but might want to think about sorting that out.."

what if you said "swording that out" instead

Hmm... is there any point in learning sword fighting anymore, considering it’s mostly illegal now?
Because as far as I’m concerned, some places commonly offer sword fighting lessons. Wouldn’t those be kind of useless today?

Depends where you are (as Chary mentioned you are allowed to walk around with one there -- they generally figure if you can wander around with a 50 cal on your back if you are bored and strong enough then not much to be gained by banning swords, and probably also dubious under the logic that allows people to have a firearm), and most places that do have it be some flavour of illegal have exceptions for historical items, sports and the like.
Some treat it as a sport, a workout (and I would 1000 times rather do sword drills or something than run on a treadmill, sit on an exercise bike going nowhere or lift weights), do it right and it is still martial arts training (you will have to learn footwork, distance estimation, the ideas how bodies work and how to make them not work, at least some grappling and so forth)

There are plenty of sports concerned with such things.

There is plain old fencing. Not my favourite thing (I generally find rapier swordplay, and especially points based fencing, quite dull but was glad to have learned the basics there) but might be all you have around you and some really take to it.

There is HEMA (historical European martial arts) if you fancy that side of things. It does split down a bit (I am not the greatest fan of Italian stuff compared to other things but some really like it) and have other things (see SCA and maybe WMA for example) but HEMA is probably where I would start for anything you might see that is not fencing.

Various Japanese swords and other oriental stuff has sports (see kendo, though it a very sport tweaked version of Japanese swordplay, and more traditional martial arts). You might also find Eskrima something to look into (you have probably seen it -- ever see someone using dual sticks in a TV show or something then probably that).

Indian martial arts have some fun stuff. I quite like Shastar Vidya myself and weapons are a big part of that.

If doing the online video thing to get more of an idea then the following have various amounts of content on the matter

[BraveDragonWolf]

I just so happen to have 2 swords in my room!

- One high frequency blade (Metal Gear Rising) Bought it off of Amazon.

- And a very old Chinese sword I bought from a gun show a few years back just hanging on the thumbnail of a poster on my wall. (If I remember, the guy told me it was a little over 100 years old)

Maybe it would become a sword if you loved it more.

I am not allowed to stab people, so I can only love it so much

Fun Fact: It's not illegal to stab yourself!

did u know that aint the right depiction of bab-come/baphomet? the original what the knights templar used was more like this

"They show a male/female double head, which is worn by the braid of the female part. It symbolizes the eternal male and female ILU forces, which in their union become the omnipotent force. When the Templars were only able to call one of the magical stones their own, they were already making small Baphomet figures; however, after obtaining the second stone, they were in possession of both forces, male and female, and were able to tackle a very special project: the creation of the Magna Figura, the Great Baphomet."
