Subject: Foam-sword Game<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To Whom it May Concern,<\/p>\n

This is to inform you that I have experienced Animation La Forge Inc.\u2019s sword game concept with one of my Grade 6 classes. Here are my comments.<\/p>\n

KATAG, \u00ab THE foam swords game \u00bb, can certainly awaken the imagination of young girls and boys with its references to many stories, movies and legends in which the sword is used. Just think of the legend of Excalibur, King Arthur\u2019s magic sword, or the sound and light sabres of the Jedi.<\/p>\n

During the game, I noticed it was safe when played according to the rules established by designers Eric Dugal, Virginie Moffet and Fran\u00e7ois Gobeil. It is important to state that no blows with force are tolerated. KATAG is a touch game. In addition, safety glasses are obligatory to prevent eye injuries, as required in many sports that use equipment that extends from the body. However, because the sword is made of foam, the danger of injury is much lower than in a game of ball hockey.<\/p>\n

This game also helps to develop many skills as identified in the physical education and health programs.<\/p>\n

To develop interactive skills because the game involves acquiring such essential knowledge as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Communication principles and modes of communication, because the teams must develop a strategy of attack for each charge.<\/li>\n
  2. Action principles such attack, counter attack, protection of territory, etc.<\/li>\n
  3. Technical know-how such as cooperative actions during a charge.<\/li>\n
  4. Counter-attack tactics such as feints, dodges and parries with the sword.<\/li>\n
  5. Cooperation \/ opposition actions when tagging the opponent to prevent advancement toward our team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In short, the foam sword can certainly be a good tool to use in the context of physical education for extracurricular activities or during your professional days.<\/p>\n

    By the way, the girls also seem to enjoy the game.<\/p>\n
