It's ltke fencing, but it attempts to simulate a real sword fight. There are a variety of different swords which are popular to fight with: longsword, saber, rapier, side sword and buckler, smallsword and others. You can get a pretty good cardio workout if you go hard, but it's not boring like calisthenics or jogging. It's fun you don't take it too seriously, and have good people to fight with. Some of the techniques are pretty made up, but the better clubs try to learn what they can from historical manuals. Tends to attract a lot of nerds.
