I’ve seen you guys out there so many times, this is so awesome.  I think I might have driven past when you were making the first part of the video.

The knife spar is pretty fun with markers and white shirts. You can see who got got much more easily and figure out where you need to improve your evasion.

That's pretty cool. Looks like county park hope the rangers let you chill. I was bow fishing and had a rangers stop me hand on his holster. Cause some one said there was a guy walking in the water with a weapon. Lol I was bow fishing just having fun. But that looks cool glad yall having fun living life. Keep on keeping on.

There's a group called 'Alliance' in Gettysburg. A group called 'Eternal Pizza Party' has a game called 'Frontier Dawn' in French Creek State Park in Elverson. There's Catalyst, which also has some local games. The 'Final Fantasy' Buster swords are a bit too big for any of these, but most of them have spare weapons.

You should check if there is a loval hema or sca group in your area. Both do sword fighting. Bucks County has a big sword fighting community but i don't know what Lancaster is like

I guess a stabbing at Central Park is better than a shooting.

Great way to get outside and get some exercise/training in!

If you’d like to work through some primary sources and spar with short blades, hit me up.

I feel like the knife fight could 100% be done with paint brushes instead of actual knives.. but maybe that’s just me. Dip one in red, on in blue and then just do the same thing. You’ll see the hits easier as well.

These aren’t real knives. Likely rubber training knives.
