There are many different ways of using the same kind of tool. In the case of swords, some like to admire them from afar and some like to actually hold them and experience them. But even for someone who may think about using them, some form of practice is required. There is a whole other world of practice swords made of wood, foam, latex, and other soft materials. These are basically made for practicing sword fighting to get to the level of real sword fighting. But for some people, simulating sword fights allows for more craziness than just technical knowledge and rigorous practice. Dagorhir or battle gaming are two terms that are used for foam sword fighting used in more abundance.
