>Whats your budget?
'Bout tree-fiddy. Seriously though? Looking at about $10-15 per unit.
>Do they need to look real?
Nope. Just convey the overall look.
>Do you have weight concerns?
I'm 75kg after falling for /fit/ and the SS meme. Otherwise no.
>How old are the students (for safety concerns) ?
They'll be between 12-15 on some days, Adults on others, and I don't think any will be younger than 10.

>What the hell is "le Manhunt"?
Autocorrect strikes again! Le Marchant.
>What the hell is a "Colonial Sabre"?
A period of time from 1788-1901 in my country. Bonus points if you can guess where. Hint: It's NOT the US.
>Why would you use foam simulators?
See >>9360158 and the above.
>Why wouldn't students coming to a HEMA class have their own?
Because it's not a class, it's an "Interactive Display and Demonstration of Martial and Cultural Heritage".

- HEMA three to four times a week (minus surgery recovery) since 2008 and taking classes as co-instructor since 2013.
- BA in Early Childhood Education and Development and Masters in Pedagogy.

>And you local museum greenlighted this, without consulting a lawyer or making sure you had a single idea of what you're doing?
Pretty much. Nothing of this kind has been done in my state at this level of "official" before.

It's new to them, it's new to me. There is no precedent for what we're doing. Thankfully we're not as anal as some countries so we're a tad more "She'll be right/Fair Go" sort of thing.
