to play pickup UKF's at the YMCA or city pool? and what about USF's?

[mtlmouth]

Pickup UKF games are not against league regulations (I'd say they're good practice, even). However, they are generally frowned upon in public pools, as it's too much of a liability. Here in California, UKF has been banned from public pools since 1997. I recommend finding a friend with a large backyard pool. Especially if they have a slide. Surprise attacks from the slide are always fun.

Ukrainian Spatula Fighting is an area I'm not too familiar with, so I'll leave that part to someone else.

Ohhhhhh, got it. Well, saw fighting isn't as popular, so a lot of public pools don't technically have rules against it... but they'll still probably kick you out if you try to start up a match at the Y.

And blood and skin can be unsanitary and looked down upon, just like the kid who relieves himself in the public pool, and most saws don't work underwater.

[scared2mosh]

hence the reason for a whole other league.....

Well I would guess the same rule applies for Underwater Chainsaw Fights correct?

PETA hates it when people use those, though.

[scared2mosh]

I would imagine.

It's important to note though that most UKF matches don't allow you to bring a fish as a weapon, only actual knives. However, should such a fish swim into the area of your match, you are more than welcome to use it as defined by the "Natural Surroundings" statute.

Precisely. I have made good use of sea urchins in several matches, for example.

Most public pools only allow Underwater Knife Fighting with plastic-sheathed practice knives. There should be a picture on this forum of myself participating in such a practice match.

^what a rip off. no real knives?

[scared2mosh]

well how would you feel killing a child during a practice match. rubber knives are fine for such circumstances.

[Skeeter]

Practice matches with plastic-sheathed practice knives are a perfectly legitimate way for a new fighter to become acquainted with the appropriate lung strength needed for underwater knife fights.
