From a moment when I was contemplating how best to say something, and realised I say it best with swords.

A clip from our members participating in a stick event at Edmonton German Fencing Guild.
Time for 1000 cuts! A fun and functional tradition. This exercise helps train proper body mechanics (in particular, powering with the hips), because the more you tire, the more impractical it becomes to rely on power from just the arms.

Earlier this month we participated in All Sprt One City, an event by Sport Calgary that encourages people to try different activities. We had sessions on messer, longsword, and lightsabre.
You can see here participants practicing their cuts, and even some sparring with dussacks and lightsabres.
