Jo –
I bought two of these quite a while ago when I started to get interested in HEMA but was a bit reluctant to throw hundreds of Euros at steel practicing swords and the required safety gear. I didn’t expect too much and was pleasently surprised about the feel and quality once they arrived. Over the years they have shown themselfs to be extremely well made and durable, not flimsy at all and suited both for technique training as well as, of course, full force whacking each other. The only thing needed is a fencing mask or boxing helmet with visor.
Great plus: You can hand them to any amateur and have them attack you any way they want full force, which leads to surprisingly many hits when you are used to training with more technical opponents.
Very very happy with my broadswords and buying more swords while I am typing this.

We are a horseback Martial art school, and the issue of protective equipment when fighting with weapons is more complicated than on the ground. There are no fencing masks that fit on riding helmets, and no ASTM-certified riding helmets that don’t break when stuck with a hard sword. Not yet, anyway.
These foam swords provide an elegant solution to that problem. They maintain enough of a realistic profile to perform techniques as with steel swords. They’re robust enough not just for swordplay, but the rigors of a horse barn.
Although we have several very nice steel training swords, the foam pallasch is best for a lot of the things we do.
Also, Go-Now has been a pleasure to do business with. That’s a big deal—so many of the businesses we deal with are a hassle, and we wouldn’t deal with them at all if there were other options. Go-Now has treated us right so far, and I’m really happy with them.
