It is worth noting that there are a guys who's level of being "on" while doing classical weapons is really quite something.

True, but few and far between. Any random person with intent and a live blade is way more 'fun' than the typical MAer (whatever that is) with wooden replicas (Musashis kill record aside).

My point was it is rare to be able to train with the intensity the matches the 'real deal'. When you find it there is no mistaking that it is something special and completely different.

Sorry to hear about the slicing and such .... I was unarmed and managed to prevail with no real damage to either party. My encounter was over before there was time for adrenaline dump (it kicked in after the fact pretty good tho!).
