Not enough swordsmen on these forums.

One foot in front of the other, every day.
I sometimes feel a little lonely, throwing out fencing references that I know no man-at-arms but me even gets. Everyone here seems to be a manga fan or a TV junkie or a gamer freak (which wouldn't be so bad except I've met nobody who has an appreciation for the graceful simplicity of Jedi Academy) and when they're interested in swords, it's through the auspices of media -- they're talking about fictional techniques that I can't see value in because they're dumb as shit.

I mean yeah, you all know what "I know something you don't know" is about and probably know where the "I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD" meme is from, but if I made a throwaway reference to an actual historical fighting manual, or if I told you that I'll Zwerchhau if you Zornhau, would you know what I'm talking about? Would you?

    I know how you feel bro. You're the only one that understands my constant Warhammer 40k references.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I was in our school's fencing club for a few months. I got stabbed really hard in the balls by my friend a few weeks in.

    Suddenly sword fighting didn't seem like much fun anymore. >:

    ^Ouch, damn.

    I always wanted to try some sort of armed martial art, but never got around to find the time and coach for it. I think I would prefer something with more swing than stab though.

    In that case, most non-rapier forms should suffice.
