Can I try roleplaying a sparring session between normal humans (with wooden weapons and the like) to learn both appropriate roleplaying and the T1 system? 

Afterwards, I could attempt becoming involved in various tournaments and the like, but as an amateur and a foreigner I'm afraid my writing could not be up to scratch. That's the reason I'd like a trial at first as well. 

I'll appreciate any help I can get! I did join the site pretty much due to friends asking me to, but now that I'm here, I might as well attempt seeing what else is on offer.
