What does it look like from the end of a swinging sword? The participants at Swordfish 2010 were curious and hit upon a crazy idea: duct-taping their GoPro Hero camera to the tip of a sword and swinging like mad. The bold colors of the fighting mat in the room, combined with some appropriate music and a wide angle lense make this video really pop.

Swordfish is an annual celebration of European martial arts, a place for lovers of swords and sword play. It is held each year in Gothenburg, Sweden, and features instruction, classes, and competition using a selection of ancient European weaponry. To get in on the fun, check out www.ghfs.se
