Its a bit risky to put them to fight one another since some are a bit to eager to strike at their oponent

For contact sparring, have you considered using softer swords? There are some good foam swords, and, of course, you can make your own.

Just a thought.

Yeah i did but how would you feel as a parent if you saw your child beeing bashed in the head by another kid even if it was a foam sword.

Not pretty.

At the end we do put a kid agains another bit only with predetermined attacks/defenses. The kids like it and the parents always take a couple of pictures. So for now i belive it is the best.


Edit: forgot to mention that sometimes we ge a lot of little kids, like 5 years old. Its kinda cute seeing such a little one handling a sword, even if a wooden one
