PORTLAND, ME - JANUARY 6: Kasey Ivan, left, and Jamie Rodel practice historical European martial arts, or HEMA, at the tennis courts in Deering Oaks on Wednesday. Ivan, who runs a group of about a dozen people called Moose Historical Fencing, said the sword fighting is based on translated historical manuscripts from Italy and elsewhere. Participants use dull blades and padding to prevent injuries. (Staff photo by Ben McCanna/Staff Photographer)
