Why Battle Ready Medieval Weapons Get Bad Press

Battle ready medieval weapons have gotten a bad wrap over the past few years due to videos such as these:





Let's face it, battle ready medieval weapons have nothing to do with "Lightning Bolts". In fact all we can see here are many misfits running around trying to kill the black knight from Monty Python. They are using LARP weapons (latex weapons). Battle ready medieval weapons and LARP Weapons (latex weapons) are very different.

LARP Weapons are geared toward individuals who want to play fast. "Just give me latex weapons so I can hit someone now!" is the general attitude of LARPers when it comes to fighting (though in other posts you will see that they do not only battle).

Battle Ready Medieval Weapons enthusiasts tend to join groups such as TheARMA.org, swordacademy.com, wmaw.us. They are focused on the actual martial art aspect of sword fighting, not the "Fantasy swords are so cool!" mind set that so many battle ready medieval weapon lovers tend to begin with.

Both battle ready medieval weapons enthusiasts, and LARP weapons (latex weapons) groups both are great recreational activites to join into. Simply do some research before you decide to join any battle ready medieval weapons group, or LARP weapons (or latex weapons) group.
