What You'll Need
You will need a scimitar that is balanced and appropriate for dancing.
It is preferred that you use a sword that does not have a knuckle guard.
You'll want your sword hilt to have no obstructions so that you can easily switch hands and switch grips.
|
It is preferred that you purchase a scimitar with a sheath.
We use the sheath instead of the sword for some of the repetitive drills, to avoid causing repetitive stress injuries. If your scimitar does not have a sheath, you can use a stick, toy sword, or even a water bottle instead. |
If you don't have one you can purchase one from these sources:
