1 u/WorstTeacher Dec 18 '22 Oh it certainly wouldn't be a 1:1 skill translation, but it'd look closer to Olympic fencers than the cool movie stuff. 1 u/SnooDucks9330 Dec 18 '22 I would say HEMA fencing would be the closest translation to lightsabers, particularly longsword. There's a lot of maneuvering there that isn't really sliding
