It is necessary
- - sword;
- - protection.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, decide which sword art you would like to master. There are many differences between the katana and the European sword!
Step 2
If you are attracted to samurai swords, learn kendo. It is a modern fencing art that takes its history from traditional samurai sword techniques. If you decide to do kendo, you will have to spend 60 - 80 thousand Russian rubles on a sword and ammunition, but then you can practice for your own pleasure, developing not only the body, but also the spirit. This type of fencing art is extremely popular, and you can enroll in a school in almost any city.
Step 3
If you want to learn how to fight with ordinary swords, you can sign up for a fencing club or go to roleplayers. Special material investments will not be required from you. You have to purchase or make your own wooden or duralumin sword. Do not forget about protection - as a beginner, it will be very useful to you. Be sure to get bracers. It would be nice to have a helmet too. Although your mentors will try not to hit you in the head, it is best not to risk it.
Step 4
If you do not want to learn to fight with swords in a group under the guidance of a teacher, you can do it yourself. Although you will definitely need a partner. Trainings can be held in squares and stadiums. The approach to the choice of defense should be more responsible than if you went to training at the club, because your partner is also inexperienced and can hit with a sword anywhere. Specify in advance the stop word, when pronouncing which the fight ends.
Step 5
One of the main mistakes beginners make is when they look at the enemy's sword, trying to trace its movements. You should not do this, you still will not follow the blade, even if it is in inexperienced hands. Look into the chest of your opponent, so you will see all his movements. Do not open up during the fight: the exposed hand or leg is like an invitation to hit them. And remember that the best defense is a quick attack.
