Is LARP considered /xs/? Its got a much higher concussion and injury rate than HEMA.
What are you opinions on western larp vs japanese larp? Western LARP has a roleplay aspect but a very robust point/scoring system and usually have fight multiple opponents in groups.
While japanese larp seems to just bash each other repeatedly until a judge arbitrary decides if they get "ippon".

It seems pretty fun. I heard some stuff about wicca cults infiltrating medieval fairs, maybe that doesn't happen much.
I understand the differences between larp and HEMA; but diff. between medieval larp and battle of nations\ "armored combat"?
>also are blunted arrows allowed in some LARP? It would be awesome if they include Trebuchets throwing pumpkins, or some siege weaponry against some sort of cardboard castle structure

Its not really a sport though is it? more like a bunch of soft interconnective activities. Mock traders, quest givers, fighters, faction leaders etc that arent consolidated into a particular goal. kinda change from event to event i would think, right?
DO you mean specific rulings withing fights in larp? I suppose that could be a sport, but then thats not really LARP, thats a ruling within larp.

LARP is not a martial art, but HEMA is, and it’s much more comparable to kendo than LARP is
I took the bait didn’t I
