This is very true, though I also believe that there's also a clear difference
between slow-work with a wooden waster, while demonstrating medieval sword work
*as an educational activity*, not as a martial activity...

and

full-speed SCA combat, with rattan, while demonstrating SCA combat methods.

I believe that only one of these activities should be in a classroom lesson
about the middle ages.

As Kevin mentioned, I believe this is a great topic for discussion.
