By replacing the standard wheel pommel of the Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Sparring Arming Sword with an extended pommel, we create the Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Sparring Bastard Sword. This sword is very popular with younger students where it can be used as a longsword or arming sword trainer depending on their requirements.
Our Red Dragon HEMA Synthetic Sparring Arming Sword is designed for the rigours of the HEMA salle and is practically unbreakable. Its combination of durability and value for money make it a popular choice for HEMA schools around the globe. It comes in modular form with many options for customisation and is perfect for beginners.
Our synthetic swords are also great for film and theatrical use, being cheaper and requiring a lot less maintenance than their steel or aluminium counterparts.
We used the Red Dragon sword for some years. They provide in my opinion the best choice regarding cheapness and closeness to steel trainers. Obviously steel hema swords are generally better, but they are expensive and require more protective gear. For starting a hema class, I think those polypropylene are perfect

My bastard sword has taken a bit of a beating and it is still going strong.
Obviously when sparring use like for like - do not use this against a steel sword as it will break! (the waster not the steel)
The weight isnt particularly accurate but the sword itself is good for drills and light sparring.
Great price - good beginners option as a decent steel sword will cost you around £200, possibly more.
