The 46" Action Flex/Guard Up German Longsword is the best training sword for Historical Weapon and Sport Sword.

Action Flex products are all based on the same mechanical principle. Different lengths and dimensions of specific materials are used to achieve optimal results with each instrument.

Each material was selected basted on its individual characteristics for durability and safety. Together they synergistically contribute to a superior, unique design in the market place of full-contact sports equipment.

The essence of the design is based on a unique piston principle, produced by using different lengths and diameters of nylon bushing stock and polyethylene, providing superior flex-action necessary to each product item. Proper weighting and casting characteristics are achieved by using these materials in these specific lengths and diameters. Nylon bushing stock is assembled in a piston style process without glue or adhesives using a unique double-pinning process.

Line Item Nylon bushing stock strength tests is carried out in a standard laboratory atmosphere. Tensile strength is at 11,600 psi. Flexural strength is at 15,700 psi. Impact strength is 2.5 ft-lb./in. The mechanical properties of this high efficiency resilient bushing stock significantly reduce vibration and breakage and provide superior flexing abilities. Average OD and ID tolerance for nylon bushing stock are 0.40mm over and 0.40mm under. Nylon bushing stock is approved for food and drug applications.

Polyethylene is thick closed cell polyethylene foam cylinder and strips. Mechanical properties are soft yet provide superior flexing capabilities, which significantly reduce, impact injury, vibration and breakage. Polyethylene center elongated piston assembly offer stability and less friction during impact.

Instructor Comments: After a full year of designing, testing, analyzing and product development, the Guard Up! Sport German Longsword is finally complete! This sword is very different from the Action Flex line... we put everything into it that we ever wanted in a full-contact practice sword. However, it still has all of the safety features and patented technology of the Action Flex weapons we have come to trust over the years. Get extra reach... use the crossguard to fend off attacks... and enjoy the superb balance of this fine training weapon. It has taken awhile, but it was worth the wait.
