@@Rorof-f3d Sword fighting is a sport where women can compete with men depending on levels of force permitted. Taller people have reach advantage male or female, short people have speed advantage male or female. By the numbers females do well because they are usually shorter and quicker, so as long as they are good at timing and distance they can easily defeat even the biggest toughest man. Sword fighting is about leverage, speed, timing and distance. Master those and you can beat anyone male or female. Males tend to do better at close range and grappling but a smart fencer can avoid that with good distance. We often separate longsword tournaments into male/female due to force used but one handed swords are coed. Club sparring usually doesn't separate and is co-ed. At the end of the day it's not about being big and strong, it's about being smart and using good leverage. Example, last year we did a coed longsword tournament. Mary, a skilled female defeated every single guy at the competition one by one. She totally wrecked us, even myself.
Ah, but there's a certain pride that comes with those battle wounds and pains, no? Well fought, lads!
They sure are! Admittedly I tend to feel a bit of pride at the battle wounds. Thanks!
What are the differences between women and men in sword fighting, or do you not have accurate information?
