This application is for 4 complimentary weapons embodying an arsenal for safely practicing medieval battle skills against an opponent: (1) A lightweight foam covered sword for single handed or younger child usage, (2) A heavier foam covered broad sword for two handed use, (3) A foam covered throwing spear and (4) A higher density foam protective shield To ensure users are not injured during battle the structural PVC pipe used for the light sword, broad sword and spear shafts is covered with a thick 1.25″ to 2″ layer of lightweight, closed cell polyethylene foam tubing which has excellent tear, tensile, and resiliency to abuse. To strengthen the handle, improve handling, and prevent the foam tubing from sliding back on the sword handles during intense use, the handles have a second larger diameter pipe heat fitted (or otherwise bonded) overtop. The tip of each weapons shaft is safely recessed within the protective foam and covered with a blunt PVC cap. Similarly the butt of the handle portion of end of each weapon has a blunt PVC or rubber cap permanently affixed. The shield is composed of a singe layer of heavier density polyethylene closed cell foam and is fitted with a padded arm strap and hand grip designed to allow the user to don it on either arm while maintaining full movement of their arms
