Weapon Safety, Wednesday

When the students arrived at the Danger Shop today, they'd find it set up with a long row of fresh-looking training dummies, as well as a table with a variety of swords laid out.

"Hey guys. We're going to start off this class learning about some basic weapon types, and I figured the best one to start with would be swords," Sam said, grinning excitedly. "Ever since people figured out they could heat metal up and make something sharp, they've have been using those sharp metals to stab their enemies and defend themselves. If anyone's interested in some history of swords, I have a handout here, but I don't want to bore those of you who are here for more practical purposes." He knew not everyone was a nerd, it was all right.

"There are a few different types of swords here for you to practice with: we've got broadswords, fancier rapiers, and katanas for those who'd like to play with something a little less Western. If you don't have much experience, you can grab a sword and follow along with me, or you can go at one of the dummies on your own. This room will keep you from getting hurt, so don't be afraid to try and see what you can do."

Now Eggsy didn't go to the kind of school that taught fencing. So this was a new one.

But who didn't want to learn how to hit someone with a metal stick? He eyed the katana eagerly. Someone had seen Attack the Block, okay?
