its live, theres action, roles are being played, it may not be throwing balls that represent thunderbolts but its larping to anyone not very involved lol

Yeah, I do see what you mean, which is why I say it is, but it kind of isn't. It doesn't fit the connotation, although it fits the literal meaning of it.
Also, if you're not as fluffy as my pillow, I will be disappointed. :p

It's not quite LARPing, although I suppose in a way it is.
There are two main takeaways I would generally want people to make - one is that it covers all kinds of things medieval/early renaissance. So you can do the combat, which draws most people, but you can also do calligraphy, archery, brewing, blacksmithing, sewing - if it was done then, you can do it in the SCA.
And the second is regarding the combat itself, since LARPing tends to give some connotations, good or bad. The combat is all actual competition. There really aren't re-creations, or anything like that. Generally when you step in to fight, you're legitimately competing within the rules of the organization.
Which is what I primarily did, focusing on Rapier almost my whole time in the SCA. But I also did a little bit of chorus too. So it's not all blood and guts. :p
