Yes he is! Only, as he explained to us, it's just called mail. The word "chain" was a modern add-on that started in the 19th century.
The swords were real too. There was an overhead projector attached to the ceiling that one of them hit on an overhand swing (the area they had marked off to fight in was very confined, and the ceilings are low), and he scarred it about half an inch deep. It survived though.
