How to Play Sword of samurai

Slow motion exercise for 2 or more players.
The arms of each player are swords with poisonous points. If a player is hit elsewhere than by his arms, he dies a slow and painful death. The players have to move slowly and quietly through the room. The instructor opens the fight:"Let the fight begin!" Each time the "swords" are touched, players must give off a loud "ring" or any other sword sound. Those who move too fast will be disqualified. The winner is the samurai who remains. It is really important for the players to move as slowly as possible in this game. They should understand that the point of this game is not to win, but instead just let it happen.
