AS I was saying many arts and types but few live up to the hard hitting contact of Dog brother and Progressive Fighting arts out of Bremerton Wa.
Until I started as a fighter with the SCA go to scademo.com check out their speed
yes there is shot calling and more rules for safety but your using a 1.25 / 2.00 inch stick and when using a great sword
look out for the power
The reason why I would tell any and all to try the fighting is not only for the conditioning but for the different look or feel it gives to the world of full contact.
