Rent actual stage combat swords from your local stage combat place. Get the training you need to care for and handle them. Use the three lock system, a chain of command, and always do a fight call. Teach your students to respect and care for the weaponry and you will be ok.
Cheap swords or wood can snap, splinter, and become more of a safety issue than just using the appropriate equipment. Be Safe.

Hello!
I need some help... sword fight... I need to purchase 2 swords but, of course, they can't be too real/dangerous and if I buy wooden swords (and then spray paint them) they will not do the clink clink sound. Any suggestions?
Obrigada!
Marta
