Me and some friends want to try and have some little sword fights and we do someimes but the problem is without armor you cant go very extreme and hit hard. We were wondering if there is any light bodysuit type armor that doesn't cost too much because kendo armor is too much money(300 dollars oh my)

yeah you are a total nerd, i bet you dress your friends up as goblins and pretend you're in a dungeons and dragons game and hit them with foam swords

how did you know?! OH SHIT. Life jackets is a good idea. But yea we are serious about this, we are very excited for sword fighting. And yes we do dress up as goblins, is this not normal? (no joke)

they call it LARPing... a bunch of people have died doing it because they forgot it was fake/were high

Get PVC pipes and wrap them in foam. My cousin did that one year for his birthday and made his friends battle to the death. Not literally, unfortunately. There were minor injuries (bloody nose, black eye), but without that kinda thing it would be totally pointless. They aren't swords, just clubs, and they're sweet if you like ultraviolence.

I do not condone the application of anything I just wrote in real life. Some people just like beating others up.

jd, i wanna try that, it sounds acctually kinda fun, but yeah where can you get pvc pipes that thin? my friend and i, we used to get pillow cases, and then put shoes in them, then battle to the death. its fun cuz if you take your shirt off it stings like a fucking mother. its like twice as bad as painball, and it hits a bigger area. its fun tho

go listen to some emo. those whiny guys feel your pain. -linemaverick5...

 
yea we did this shit a while ago, armor costs too much. depending on what you are useing as swords (hopfully wood ones) you can make armor out of plastic and duct tape probly or some other kinda varatioin. BAck in the day me and my firend got thses wooden swords from the renasance favestival and the onyl rule was no head shots.

I cant spell so get use to it or il spork you to death

first of all, im the person thats planning these battles with mikee, and i dont think that stinging is going to be a factor. we were more worried about whether or not we would brake bones. we were thinking of cutting up old sofa pieces, since the pvc sounds a bit crazy and uncomfortable. Any other suggestions??

 
you could always get used soccer shin pads from play it again sports and then but them around your shin,s froarms, biceps and thighs, then get a couple used catcher chest protectors and put one on front, one on back, pretty cheap if it's from Play it Again Sports

 
^smart man

yes.. i once found my freind on acid under a blanket and wearing a loin cloth made out of bannna peels

No just wooden ones. And yeah, we will say no head shots I guess since we dont have good enough helmets.

-Michael Lifshitz-
 
Um the reason we are not getting fencing armor is because fencing armor doesnt protect you from anything but a flimsy little plastic/light metal sword. we are talking big wooden katanas or something.

-Michael Lifshitz-
 
shit dude, brake bones, what are you using for swards???, bud dude, just use pillow cases with shoes, now armor needed, use only a jock strap and you will be fine, its fun as hell tho

go listen to some emo. those whiny guys feel your pain. -linemaverick5...

 
no we are using wooden swords and we want to be able to attack as hard as we want very viciously and without fear of pain and just go at eachother like rabid monkies.

-Michael Lifshitz-
 
yah go with the pvc piping, and you can get it skinny if you get what they use for inground sprinkelers, that stuff comes in all sizes, specially the small ones, 1/2 inch - 2 inch

use bike armour if you have it, it works really well, or just foam and duct tape always works

bunch of pussies, use no armor if you have any balls.

i like jds idea, pad the swoard not your body

go listen to some emo. those whiny guys feel your pain. -linemaverick5...

 
^ and lets just hope the sword breaks thru the padding.

while were at it why dont we just use real swords, video tape it, and post it on ns

You could make chain mail, it's not too hard but it takes a long time. You take a metal rod that's like... really really thin, and twist it around a pencil and then stretch it out, cut it so they're circles and close them on each other. If you make a complete body suit, you can sell them for up to 300 bucks, depending on how nicely done they are... and it's pretty strong

 
^You do realize that to make chain mail have any effect, it has to have several layers. It weighs a freaking ton. Trust me. Bad idea.

actually, my friend made a small piece... about a square foot, and i put it on my stomach and he tried to stab me as hard as he could with a pen, and the pen broke.. didn't feel a thing... ok it's no sword, but still

 
Ok I think we will pad the swords and get cushion foam and duck tape it to blank shirts we will buy at zellers. YES! wonderful Ideas everyone. Lets hope our dream of beating the shit out of eachother will be fulfilled.

-Michael Lifshitz-
 
just get some wooden sticks and beat the shit out of each other

wooden swords? you candyasses. go to house of knives and get one of those nasty Braveheart swords. If you put an edge on it you could probably cut each other in half with a well placed, 2-handed swing.

You need to buy like a knighrs costume from a costume shop them get some lacorsse pads and put the costume over it it will be killer!

Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. 'She hates guys,' Pete lamented, 'so it’s not going good.' Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

lacrosse pads work well, a couple years ago we'd put on our pads and have 1 on 1 matches of just beating the shit out of each other, so i suggest the lacrosee pads, they work well
