Old old old....the only person in that series of pics I've ever heard of is the old guy Ted Turner...who are these people??
So weird that they're some sort of media darlings yet when I look at them they're just ordinary people...making some wild attempts to be "kilted."
Only thing I know about the swordplay is that I fenced in college as a muscular youth and can't recall anything more physically demanding than waving around the foil...from that experience I can't comprehend the strength needed to pick up the broadsword, let alone, swing it at someone with any sense of accuracy...yikes!!
Best I could do with a broadsword would be to whip off my kilt, swing it around the other guy's foil, then while he worked to untangle the kilt from the foil, tip the broadsword over on him so the handle clunked him in the head.
