They are apparently using sharpened metal rapier-like weapons, which explains why the styles they are employing in this footage resembles rapier and dagger styles. i find the psychology interesting..these guys do not want to get hit, so its affects how they fight.

Amazed at how linear the fights are. Folks criticize both Western fencing (on the strip) and kendo with being too linear, but here where it's real it seems people instinctively move that way. So much to study from this vid in terms of movement and initiative - interesting.
