Is this from a langswcherdt school or somethin?

Edit: Nevermind. It is from a tournament for historical fencing schools I think. Looks like they are using shinpan style judging though.

Your right, "Swordfish" is a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) event that includes competition matches with longsword and also other formats like sword and buckler.

Here is a match from the same event that shows a nylon longsword simulator they have been developing.

I think it's interesting because the manufactuers have expressed interest in making nylon simulators for other sword types like the broadsword and single handed sabers and nylon Katanas may end up on the list.

Also the big guy is hilarious.
