After watching like 3-4 seasons of Spartacus I dreamed and fantasized about how awesome sword fighting would be as a sport/club....not just fencing....and lo and behold I see this today....

This is awesome! Man...pure testosterone bottled into a sport....what you guys think?

I never knew these tournaments existed. If there were one of these tournaments in my local area, I would definitely enter it, but with a longsword like this :

When I was younger I used to sword fight...but that was until I saw Ghostbusters and learned to "Never cross the streams!" haha
