Falchion

It is not a very well known weapon in history except among big time medieval buffs, but it is a rather important one. Forged from the basis of the Egyptians' Khopesh and the Greeks' Kopis, the Falchion came about. The original Falchions looked very similar to a dadao or for less educated people a cleaver. It was however, a one-handed single edged, sword that in the Rennaisance era was curved. The medieval era Falchions though were either straight, or kind of obtuse. The Falchion of 16th century origin is excelent for slicing maneuvers and suitable for a thrust because it often had a sharp point. From the look of it, though it is a bit short, this broad-bladed weapon looks like it could be used effectivley from a mount, provided that the wielder had a good reach. Over time this design turned into a longer, more slender blade, the Sabre/Saber. I only know that the medieval form of a Falchion, the Conyers Falchion, looked rather ungainly, and is used as the emphasis of many medieval/sword books.

The Art of Fence: The Parry

In the art of fence there is something called a parry. It is quite simple, knock the foe's sword away from your body. Well, from that principle you can gain the advantage. One way is the Parry of Prime and Disarm by Seizure.
You use this when your foe comes in high with a thrust. You hit their blade from the top, knocking the tip downward but keeping their hand high. At this time their sword is about vertical. Then, you wrap their blade close to your body with your off-hand arm. Next, you put your sword into your off-hand and grip theirs at the hilt with your sword-hand and rip it away.
Now you have the obvious advantage possessing both swords.

Dodge

Now, although I have put up that while fencing you should parry, it is also important to just stay away. Most people get tired more quickly while parrying than while just avoiding a hit. If you remember to just side step and counter a thrust, or step back and jump in after an attempted swathing blow. There are times when you cannot avoid contact, and those are the times you should parry. When forced into a parrying situation don't just stop their, use your free hand to punch your enemy, or send a kick to the groin, that tend to catch most people off guard and put them on their knees.
It isn't all about honor. Even a knight of honor would use dirty tricks to win whether they were fighting to the death or for chivalrous honor. It doesn't matter if you look like a coward, you killed the witness.

Heavy Blades

Another choise of weapon many people prefer is the heavier swords such as claymores, broad swords, and buster swords.

Monay people assume that attacks from a heavy blade come slow and there only purpose is to strike through armor. this is not entirely true i use a heavly blade and i can get very quick attacks, but i am niether bid nor strong.

I use a metal scabbard with my sword held horazontaly in front of me to use a a pary tool or a quick strike while holding my sword up in the air virticly above me.

the trick is to eather dodge or parry there strikes then swipe down forcfully with the sword and if you miss you will still have the scabbard to fall back on.

History of the Sword

Preeminent hand weapon through a long period of history, consisting of a metal blade varying in length, breadth, and configuration, but longer than a dagger, and fitted with a handle or hilt usually equipped with a guard. The sword became differentiated from the dagger during the Bronze Age (c. 3000 BC), when copper and bronze weapons were produced with long, leaf-shaped blades and with hilts consisting of an extension of the blade in handle form. By Roman times the hilt was distinct from the short, flat blade, and by the European Middle Ages the weapon had acquired its main basic forms. The heavy sword of medieval chivalry had a large hilt, often designed to be gripped in both hands, with a large protective guard or pommel at the top. The blade was straight, double-edged, and pointed; it was fabricated by repeated firing and hammering, a process that converted the iron into mild steel by the addition of a small amount of carbon. Blades were also made of laminated strips of iron, which were hammered together. Damascus was a renowned center of the craft.

Toledan steel and particularly swords have long been famous, being mentioned as early as the 1st century BC in the Cynegetica of Grattius "Faliscus." There is an important National Factory of Arms and workshops for damask and engraving, which produce metalwork decorated in the Mudéjar tradition.

Exerpt from Hagakure
Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.
* There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking.
* These are the teachings of Yamamoto Jin'emon:
* Singlemindedness is all-powerful.
* Tether even a roasted chicken.
* Continue to spur a running horse.

* A man who will criticize you openly carries no connivance.
* A man exists for a generation, but his name lasts to the end of time.
* Money is a thing that will be there when asked for. A good man is not so easily found.
* Walk with a real man one hundred yards and he'll tell you at least seven lies.
* It is a principle of the art of war that one should simply lay down his life and strike. If one's opponent also does the same, it is an even match. Defeating one's opponent is then a matter of faith and destiny.

2004-07-13 [Lordterrex]: .........

2004-07-13 [champagnebommer 77]: I can think of, the ones you already have, creativity, and realism, as well as the following: Best Line Quality, Best Shading/Coloring, and possibly just the club favorite.

2004-07-13 [psychopomp]: ooo have them draw it in a scene not just a sword

2004-07-14 [Lordterrex]: yea... i see... hmmm.. intresting......... thats alot of winnings u no

2004-07-14 [champagnebommer 77]: Well how about Creativity, Realism, Value, Club Favorite, Elftown Favorite. But I really don't see anything wrong with just judging on creativity and realism, along with ET favorite.

2004-07-14 [Lordterrex]: yea... i seee... hey all check out my arsenal.. im bery proud of her

2004-07-14 [psychopomp]: BOO!

2004-07-14 [Lordterrex]: .. ha.. u cant scare me... *is unfazed*

2004-07-14 [champagnebommer 77]: Do you know your bow's weight?

2004-07-15 [Lordterrex]: ummm.... no... im sry.. i wish i new, it isnt that heavy.. i no that...

2004-07-18 [champagnebommer 77]: My dad has a 55 pound recurve, I have a pretty tough time drawing it.

2004-07-18 [psychopomp]: is this archery ur talking about?

2004-07-18 [Lordterrex]: o... no.. were talkign about recurved sabers...*shifty eyes*

2004-07-18 [psychopomp]: ooo ok... that makes more sense hehe

2004-07-18 [champagnebommer 77]: My dad has a folded sabre too, he got that when he was in the Marine Corp.

2004-07-18 [Lordterrex]: yea... sabers are excellent swords, mostly if u dont have any other sabers involved though. they are ussualy thin, a weakness in parrys, but a wanderful strength is slashign sumones skin off

2004-07-18 [champagnebommer 77]: And of course the curve compliments pefectly mounted swordsmanship. A straight-bladed weapon could get stuck and dismount you, a curved blade did not get stuck in a foe.

2004-07-19 [psychopomp]: i think i only used a saber once :( *sigh* how i miss my sword i haven't used it in a while

2004-07-19 [Lordterrex]: aww.. poor dear.. *ats her head* my best frind used to be on the saber team, i was jealouse as hell watching...

2004-07-28 [Lordterrex]: ... hmmm.... shouldnt we be talkgin abotu swords.... do u think beign good with swords is at all genetic?

2004-07-28 [psychopomp]: hmm...maybe

2004-07-28 [Shining light]: well, in a way, yes, because your dexterity is directly related to genes, and swordcraft is related mostly to dexterity. But with the right training, anyonwe can become really good with a sword.

2004-07-28 [psychopomp]: i thought it was all magic

2004-07-28 [Lordterrex]: lol.... also size is affected by genes, and ur size is handed down from ur parents, if ur smalll u will normaly go for a smaller sword, i have short arms.. but im built stocky, so i got for large and thick.. hehe

2004-07-28 [Vesthrix]: I'm tall and skinny (a short tall and skinny). I gennerally like my swords to be the same way.

2004-07-28 [Lordterrex]: i liek my swords long and thick, even though im short and thick, i say if ur strong enough to use it one handed its all good

2004-07-28 [psychopomp]: i don't really have a preference but then again i haven't had much experience with dofferent variaties

2004-07-28 [Lordterrex]: yea.. its ok

2004-08-01 [champagnebommer 77]: I just got my butterfly swords in the mail a couple days ago! Yay! I love them! But they are very awkward, since they're balanced at about the middle of the blade...

2004-08-01 [psychopomp]: NICE!

2004-08-02 [Lordterrex]: ... hmm.. thats weird.. lol... middle of the blade balance, i have one of those like that.. lol

2004-08-02 [Shining light]: Wing Chun Butterfly sword? yeah, interesting...I'm going to learn how to use them some day soon. or some year soon...

2004-08-02 [Lordterrex]: or maybe... sum decade soon,.... mayeb sooner

2004-08-02 [psychopomp]: hehe... i want to learn more sword forms but swords cost $$ and i don't have $$

2004-08-02 [psychopomp]: yeh :( i need a job, but im saving up for a car/insurance amongst other things and a sword would be after that :(

2004-08-02 [Lordterrex]: yea.. of course....after u get ur sword and insurance, tell me, and ill point u in the direction of cheap cheap good swords

2004-08-02 [psychopomp]: i can get cheap good swords, i just can't at the moment ... my karate instructer gets a good deal on that stuff

2004-08-09 [psychopomp]: umm ok

2004-08-09 [psychopomp]: um...ok i know it isn't sword related but YAY! i got to break on saturday :D i haven't gotten to break for a while

2004-08-09 [Vesthrix]: Break?

2004-08-09 [psychopomp]: yes... breaking boards :P

2004-08-09 [Vesthrix]: martal arts or skate boarding?

2004-08-09 [psychopomp]: hehe martial arts... i suck too much to break a skateboard :p

2004-08-09 [Lordterrex]: ... i can break a skate board.. im like.. "heavy".. *ends transmission*

2004-08-10 [psychopomp]: hehe... i could break one but i don't want to :p

2004-08-12 [Lordterrex]: *restarts transmission*..... so... whats ur favorite sword style?

2004-08-13 [psychopomp]: i only know katana... but i wanna get into chinese broad sword or spring steel broad sword (same thing only one is wobblier than the other)

2004-08-13 [Shining light]: i like the wing chun butterflyswords best. so dynamic, you know.

2004-08-13 [champagnebommer 77]: I like to learn to fence. Even though it wouldn't help much in a real fight.

2004-08-13 [psychopomp]: its hard

2004-08-13 [Shining light]: yes. the one thing you've got to remember in a fight though, is never use something that could be taken off you and used against you.

2004-08-13 [psychopomp]: that would suk! well almost anything could be taken away from you depending on the circumstance... unless your blade! then your weapon can't be used against you cuz the other persons hand would be in pieces!!

2004-08-16 [Lordterrex]: .. lol.. hehehe.. that would be fun to see.... tushay, AH AHA... u have attempted to rob me of my sbaer, and have ended fingerless, watch as i destroy u now.. *kills opponent*... hehehe

2004-08-16 [Shining light]: well, every Kung Fu style has exceedingly efficient techniques fro disarming an opponent...

2004-08-16 [champagnebommer 77]: Variety is always a good thing. I'd like to learn Shotokan(sp?) if any karate form at all.

2004-08-16 [champagnebommer 77]: I think i'll just stick to womethign with swords though, that'll give me extra reach, except that's bad actually. Cuz I don't normally carry a sword with me.

2004-08-16 [Shining light]: I usually go for the dagger-styles. a dagger is compact, damaging when used right, and concealable.

2004-08-17 [Lordterrex]: yes... daggers are extreme weapons, as long as ur enemy dosent have a weapon.. and dosent no how to defend himself, daggers are double sided so that it slides down the assasins prey easier, a dagger is best shoved into sumone back, when they least expect it, a knife is for cuttign throats,.. but u cant go wrogn with poison.. hehehehe

2004-08-17 [crashbanger]: anyone here??

2004-08-17 [Shining light]: yes. hi.

2004-08-18 [champagnebommer 77]: Well, the tactical tanto used in Britain is superb for finding a gap between someone's ribs and plunge in to their lungs, heart, liver, and anything else vital. And you can do all of that from behind them, so they don't see it, and with a wholey lung they won't be able to yell out for help!

2004-08-19 [Lordterrex]: hehehehe.. so deviouse is the thought of the assasin...

2004-08-19 [Shining light]: indeed.

2004-08-20 [champagnebommer 77]: Sometimes, it must be done :)

2004-08-22 [psychopomp]: dun dun dun

2004-08-23 [Indelible]: Whats goin on eh?
