Hahahaha I thought I saw Forkbeard in there...but it couldn't have been, he wasn't using something that's eight feet long.

Is this an actual "league?"

Man, that looks like garbage.

You have fake blood packs strapped to your body and when two get punctured, you're dead. Looks like tap fighting, too.

This isn't tap fighting... which is what really scared me.

They are filming this stuff in LA... And they are going at a near-full-force/full-contact level... with the whippy, calamasile weapons, so it hurts like a *.

And the people that they have doing this are (other than the obvious nerds) MMA/Pro Wrestler types, who all swing for the fences.

It's kind of stupid and really dangerous from what I've personally seen.

Is this stuff even real, it really looks staged. I mean blood packets, a band?

The complete absence of shields is interesting. Can we send people? Are there prizes?

I imagine the absence of shields might be to do a lack of desire to actually win. It appears to me that everyone wins in their sport, as long as everyone gets hurt.

Ever since I saw this on NPR I have been haunted by it. Each night before BfRIII, I dream that I am walking in the park to my own practice, and I see a group of these guys playing. I go up to them to chat and spar. I invite them to BfRIII. They decline and say they can't go because they are hosting their own event that day...right next to mine...using their homebrew rules.. and with a huge smile, they say, "we think WE are going to get 40 people!"

Then I gouge out my eyes with a Calamacil blade.

Although I would totally invite them if I had their contact info. ;)

God dammit. And I am still doing it. I hate this compulsion. I wish we could just run this group like an inquisition. I get to convert...or Kill/torture those who will not convert...any other foam fighters I find.

I fought full contact with V'Hil with Calamacil weapons a few years ago. It isn't that bad (no pain at all if you have armor on). I would fight with them.

1)they let you wear gloves and knee/elbow pads. They will probly let you wear a helmet if it is epic looking and doesn't tear up the weapons.
2)Those weapons don't hurt that much if you are prepared.
3)This **** looks like it would make for a night of drunken hilarity.
4) No decent Bel fighter will ever get hurt fighting douch-bags like this if he is allowed to wear a helm and some basic safety gear.

Drunken hilarity? Well correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds PERFECT for Chaos Wars! Maybe we should get one of these to host one of the night-life events....maybe even the gladiator pits! :idea:

But yeah, let's go **** 'em up, and then we'll go to dinner and a movie and ONE of us will be putting out.... :roll:
