Lake Forest Sword Academy
Class Equipment
So you've been to a couple classes. You want to take the plunge. Get the blade. Get the gear. But you ask yourself "So what do I get?". We got you covered.
We HIGHLY recommend the following order of equipment acquisition;
-
Helmet - need to protect your head for drills
-
Gloves - need to protect your hands to do the moves
-
Longsword (boffer or synthetic) - need to hit the other guy with something
-
Gambeson - need to protect your squishy bits
-
Next steps (steel longsword, forearm/elbow protection, leg protection, gorget, other weapons etc.) - *gestures vaguely at everything else*
