To prepare for tournaments and wars, some groups hold 'fight practices', where a unique full-contact {{tag|martial arts|martial art}} is practiced. The fighters wear armour (often of their own making), and strike eachother with sticks that are primarily made of rattan, and made to resemble swords, pikes, spears, axes, and other medieval weapons. This Armoured Combat (sometimes called 'Hardsuit' or 'Heavy Weapons Fighting') is interesting among martial arts for its lack of formalized training, which allows new-comers to add to the game in unpredictable ways. SCA fighters practice many-on-many engagements that are called melees or wars. | To prepare for tournaments and wars, some groups hold 'fight practices', where a unique full-contact {{tag|martial arts|martial art}} is practiced.

Some groups practice fencing with modified rules which largely disregard [[:Category:Olympics|Olympic]] fencing rules. As SCA fencing is supposed to recreate courtly dueling, fencers neither recognize right-of-way, nor are they forced to stay within a lane, instead fencing "in the round". SCA Fencing is based upon Renaissance fencing manuals, and includes two weapon, sword and cape and sword and shield styles. | Some groups practice fencing with modified rules which largely disregard [[:Category:Olympics|Olympic]] fencing rules.
