Also, in addition to me going to gym 3 times a week I doubt I could do any decent amount of practice. Especially as it seems to me that these pointy sharp objects require quite a lot of skill to handle. The other thing I would like to try is paramotoring. But that is even more expensive.We meet on the border in full plate armour, have our national coat of arms on the shields and just watch as the mayhem ensues. Oh and we start challenging each other to all sorts of contests (jousting, different sword duels, archery, pin the tail on the donkey....) over something idiotic. We wouldn't learn anything but it would be funnyCan you imagine if we did that? What could possibly go wrong? I can just imagine the media reaction...
