I've had some people bring nerf swords to my events in Mesa. If the ones you are talking about are the same as the ones they brought, it's almost a definite no. If I'm not mistaken, there's actually a warning label on the sword that says not to poke or jab at people or animals.

There are swords for you to use at practice until you make your own weapon. Here's a tutorial to make a really simple sword.

Lemme just give you a warning with that tutorial, since it's the same one i used to make MY first sword; GO EASY ON THE DUCT TAPE!!! Use as little of it as humanly possible, or it'll make your sword hit too hard to pass. Just a suggestion, of course. If you absolutely need to use tape at all, i recommend you use Athletic/grip tape (usually available at just about any sporting goods store for two or three bucks a roll) instead.

It does make a pretty good sword though. I've made a few more weapons since then, but that first one, in my opinion, is still the best one I've made. Just a pity it hits like a brick...

yeah nerf swords will fail, however, although we highly encourage people to make their own weapons, if you cant by the first practice, we do have loaner gear
