found this interesting video of the moroccan sport of tbourida
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHdKvm_ztMM
search youtube on 'tbourida' for even more
it shows some of the teams wearing 'nimcha' (and 'saif') sabres, harnessed across their backs, hilt down by the hip and scabbard chape sticking up over their right shoulder. some cool weapons...
