The Oilers have been playing very well this year and it's nice to see. Good change of pace.
If the leg got cut off youd be a bit hindered...I normally concur with Shadiversity on most topics dealing with swordsmanship, but he constantly says he sees no purpose for lower guard positions, reasoning that he can slip his legs and attack in the high line, saying that this isn't in the manuals.
It's clear to me he hasn't received instruction or read the manuals, because he'd then realize the purpose of the guards, and realize that Medieval guard positions aren't covering a line anyways.
Slipping the legs is all over sword fighting manuals, and Medieval sword fighting guards aren't guards in the sense they cover a line, they don't.If the leg got cut off youd be a bit hindered...
-Fiore dei Liberi, Fior di Battaglia, MS Ludwig XV 13.When a sword flies for your leg
Make a downward blow to his face or around to his throat:
His arms will be wasted more quickly than his head,
Because the distance is manifest for a shorter time.
If your opponent strikes to your leg, withdraw your front foot, or pass backwards and strike downwards to his head, as shown in the drawing. With a two handed sword it is unwise to strike to the knee or below, because it is too dangerous for the one striking. If you attack your opponent’s leg, you leave yourself completely uncovered. Now, if you have fallen to the ground, then it is all right to strike at your opponent’s legs, but otherwise it is not a good idea, as you should generally oppose his sword with your sword.
Full tang? What kind of steel?Gonna buy a bastard sword with my next paycheck. Got a really fancy one in mind.
I'm sure if I asked my mom's permission, she'd say no, so I'm not asking her lol.
I've always wanted one and now I can finally buy one now I'm 18. At least it's not drugs or alcohol
It's nothing special, just a stainless steel oneFull tang? What kind of steel?
Wow! Do you know hema @tcole379 ?It's nothing special, just a stainless steel one
[this one] is probably what i'm going for. It doesn't mention anything about the tang, but I probably won't be swinging around much.

Well dont stab anyone with it...Nah, I don't, I've just always wanted to buy a sword haha
