Calimacil Martial Art line
We are working since two years now to develop a new Calimacil Martial Art weapon line and I want to share you a first glimpse of this today. So what I show you here is NOT a LARP gear but a new type of weapon to practice Historical European martial arts.
This new Calimacil Martial Art Weapon it’s composed of hard foam blade to prevent bouncing but still safe for tournament fighting using combat technique without heavy protection. Blades are painted with special powder to let them slip well. Hilt and handle are cast in hard material to block and parry attack. Metal is added in handle to balance and make handle stiffer. Inside hybrid core is perfectly stiff in sharp edge direction but a little flexible in flat blade side like a real metal weapon.
I hope you will like the feeling, I am pretty proud of it; behavior is close to the popular Albion sword. This new weapon will be available soon!

This is wonderful – thank you!
I practice Martial Arts, but it is Japanese – karate, mostly. Will the same technology be available as a Katana?
Thank you again!

When will this line be available for purchase? I’d love to try them out in sparring.
One suggestion: You may want to have a link under the video leading to a purchase page (or pre-order if they’re not available yet).

I have been training with two of these longswords for a few weeks and they are fantastic. I am stunned by the quality of this product. I have never wanted to use non-steel trainers for my adult HEMA classes until now. I will be posting video of us using them soon.

Tnis is great news, as the head instructor of my WMA group I am always looking for new ways to train my students. Please keep us informed as to when these will be available. Is there going to be group rates available also?

I heartily approve of this. However I still think that your LARP weaponry should also be heavier.

Those new foam blades almost exactly match the custom blades I had Paul Binns make for me for a fighting style I teach here in Nottingham. I look forward to ordering a couple for my guys

Also can’t wait to see what other models in this line you folks will come up with.
Great idea!!

This really exciting news. I have been training in and teaching medieval Japanese martial arts for over 20 years. There are very few alternatives to bamboo (Shinai), Wood (Bokken), or live metal (Shinken Katana) or un-sharpened (Iaito) metal blades. Are there any plans in the works to create a Martial Arts version of the Japanese Katana? This would be a great alternative for doing public demonstrations (Enbu), especially when working with highly excitable novice students who get a little over enthusiastic due to a bit of stage fright. There are also several specialty Japanese blades that I have not seen represented well in either LARP or training weapons such as the Ninja-to, the over-sized two handed Nodachi, and Katana with extended handles (Tsuka). I’m part of a Martial arts community that would love to see these types of weapons made in such fine quality as Calimacil provides. Here’s looking forward to a bright future filled with amazing possibilities.

On your website, the weight of the longsword is specified as 0.94 kg, whereas the fencer in the Ottawa Swordplay review mentions 43 oz. (1.22 kg) as a weight, which would be a much more realistic fighting experience. Which of these values is true?
