These swords are a little disappointing really. They do offer a safe means of practice, but the balance is poor and they lend themselves more to striking than cutting and stabbing, so the translation to actual sword skill is poor. In addition, they bend very easily, which is an understandable necessity for the sake of safety, but all parries and blocks executed with the weapon and nearly useless.
I would not recommend them for adults, but my youth students do enjoy using them for sparring, though the swords weak points quickly contribute to the degradation of the exercise.
PS. I couldn't get the image to post, so if anyone can set an image of the swords in this thread, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
