Re: Sizing of Jian
At the Spanish fencing, we can find 41-42" blades. Even though, cut still has a lot of importance, both in Spanish cut and thrust, and in Spanish rapier.

Re: European longsword
Hello Nik English isn't my mother tongue and i have the doubt if you speak in general, or about the video. It's possible that it can't be seen on the video, but we work a lot the bladework and control of weapon. you can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkFury#play/uploads/4/m_El0xAKBaI On...

Re: European longsword
I'm not in the bout, but I belong to the same group that these boys Don't worry about commentsAre you in the bout and asking us to comment on your performance? If not, it wouldn't be good for us to make comment on the training at another school.

Re: Why Chinese swordsmanship?
I cannot find the same connections in them that I have found hidden in the CMA systems, for example the relationship of Taijiquan to Taoism, though the subject of much controversy is something I find genuine and profound. Many european styles were linked mainly to saint thomas aquinas,scholasticism...

Re: Why Chinese swordsmanship?
A western style, if it is internal, should conform to the principals of internal art. For example the use of muscular force as a way to generate power cannot be a primary emphasis of an internal art. I like this definition, but... what about internal fencing vs external fencing? Very few styles rec...

Re: Why Chinese swordsmanship?
apologies for my english...
What have you found in chinese swordmanship that you haven,t seen in other styles? (at a martial level) When we talk about internal and external, do you think that it gets reduced to chinese styles? What must show a western style to be considered as internal?

Re: Distance
es, but Thibault was not merely a practitioner of Destreza. He took it in a different direction. So while he could be considered part of that family of work, there really is no other text to look to in describing particular techniques, although one can certainly draw from the principles of Destreza...

Re: Distance

His treatise is unique enough that even if we consult related treatises, we'll still never know what that section would have included. Apologies for my hor...
