What’s up with people wanting to learn how to fight with sword?
I’m hoping someone can explain me why there are so many people suddenly coming and start to ask about buy a sword made for fighting or how to fight with a sword. Today people don’t attack with sword and it’s illegal to carry sword on the street. Plus if you really want to kill someone with sword, a simple good old fashion slash or stab would get it done.
btw I do understand if someone collect sword because they like it. I have five handmade swords/daggers from middle east that my dad got for me. Even if they are made for fight, I wouldn’t dare to use them or test them out. It’s too pericious to me. That’s how a antique sword should be treated since they’re rare today. It’s the whole wanting sword for fighting or know how to fight with one that I don’t understand. Hopefully someone can clear this up for me.
I studied sword for 8 years and I can say it is simply for the fun of it.
It doesn’t have much practical application, but ironically it did teach me the most important martial arts lesson there is to learn.
A weapon changes everything. The most positive aspect with realistic sword training is that you learn how final and fatal and see and experience it. Yes everyone knows a knife or gun or bat is deadly, but a lot of people don’t REALLY have it register how quick it ends. Many schools teach that it is easy to defend against weapons, when that is not the case. It really drives home the notion that all you really need is one hit, regardless of whether it is a “good” hit or not, you usually are able to disable the person with that strike then follow it up. Whether it is knife, staff, escrima stick or sword.
There might be limited practical application in that the same techniques can be used if you pick up a broom or bat, etc. but most people study sword for the fun of it. I mean real sword as opposed to SCA dungeons and dragons style LARPing. or just studying forms (iaido).
There also are sport applications to some of the systems like sport fencing and kendo, however I personally do not consider this real sword study as it is not training you in traditional techniques.
