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.

Suggested reading: Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
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.

2005-02-17 [Shining light]: very nice.

2005-02-17 [Minotaur Queen]: Thanks...ya have a favorite item?

2005-02-18 [Shining light]: I like the chair mail stuff. it's all very good... gut perhaps a few more photos in the wodden swords section might be nice, as you have a long list of all the different types, but only two pictures of two types of sword. If you could put a picture or two opf different sword types, like the scimitar, that'd be cool.

2005-02-18 [Minotaur Queen]: I will have pics of each design of axe and sword soon

2005-02-18 [Dwarf Ronin]: That would be cool.

2005-03-17 [Q_Q]: hey all

2005-03-17 [Doc_D]: er, fine, you?

2005-03-17 [Dwarf Ronin]: I'm doing dandy!

2005-03-19 [psychopomp]: can't... so... tired........zzzzzzzzzz

2005-03-22 [Indelible]: lazy ass

2005-03-22 [psychopomp]: YUP! i also can't draw soo...

2005-04-07 [manwe]: hmmmmmm i also practice a few arts with the sword...... including their forging....

2005-04-08 [Dwarf Ronin]: Thats cool. *drools over Sakabatou I made*

2005-04-12 [Doc_D]: What kind have you forged?

2005-04-13 [Dwarf Ronin]: A Sakabatou, a reversed-bladed katana.

2005-04-13 [Shining light]: wow. like to see one of those...

2005-04-15 [Dwarf Ronin]: I will put up a picture soon.

2005-05-03 [Lordterrex]: reverse blade katanas look nice.. but they arent to practical

2005-05-03 [Doc_D]: They are if you want to fight full on with a katana and not kill them.

2005-05-03 [Shining light]: right...and katanas are only meant tp be drawn if someone is to die...if you don't want to kill somene, you can't use a katana on them... According to the Samurai code, of course.

2005-05-03 [Lordterrex]: .......if oyu dont want to kill sumone with your blade... dont give it an edge....

2005-05-04 [Doc_D]: Another interesting idea, but with out an edge a sword is usless, so there in lays the peradox.

2005-05-04 [Lordterrex]: lol.... without an egde a sword isnt a sword... but it is still useful.. and it is still a sword, just less useful

2005-05-04 [Dwarf Ronin]: Mine is very practical and useable....it breaks bones on one side, then cuts through most anything on the other.

2005-05-04 [Doc_D]: You see, while be it, a reverse blade sword is seen as usless, how ever for someone who doesn't want to draw blood it is an esential weapon.

2005-05-04 [Dwarf Ronin]: Yep, I don't like to draw blood, a few broken bones doesn't bother me.

2005-05-04 [Lordterrex]: lol... it makes since.

2005-05-04 [Shining light]: ...indeed...

2005-05-04 [Lordterrex]: did warriors ever actualy use reverse blades

2005-05-04 [Dwarf Ronin]: I know one so far...

2005-05-05 [Doc_D]: Not to my knowledge, or at least it wasn't really a weapon many would brag about having.

2005-05-05 [Dwarf Ronin]: It takes a lot of skill to use one you know...

2005-05-05 [Doc_D]: Well duh, if you use it exactly like a regular katana you'll end up cutting your self up.

2005-05-05 [Lordterrex]: .. thats wouldnt be good..... and a katana is an excellent weapon, why make one that is more difficult to use?

2005-05-05 [Doc_D]: Like I said earlier, it's for those who want to fight but not draw blood, unless you score a full on strike to the head with it, it's a hard weapon to end someone's life with.

2005-05-05 [Lordterrex]: why do you think asian weapons have a much greater fame, and are much more popular than european weapons?

2005-07-27 [manwe]: oh geeeze....  *sigh*  ah well...

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: I feel asian weapons have more fame then others because there's a strange beauty to them, as well as a long history of honor and bravery.

2005-07-29 [Lordterrex]: .... i beielve that the history of honor and bravery is well.. i dont think that there idea of honor was very honorable for the most part... but i agree the weapons are strange and beautiful

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: I have a chinese sword. It is very flexible blade... what is it called? It has a awesome wooden sleath.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: Sounds like a Tai-Chi sword Bu.

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: Well, I got a really good one at the Pawn Shop. It has Chinese Dragon carved into the sleath and yellow string balls hanging off the hilt.

2005-07-29 [Lordterrex]: that sounds awsome, hey have you guys checked out the foto manips i made? i would like you guys to see them, there in my house

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: Yeah, that's a Tai Chi sword Bu, if it was at a pawn shop I'm not too sure about how good it could be, but then again you can find some jems in places like that. You should take it somewhere to get it's quality checked.

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: I have, it is excellent guality condition for use. I'm going to start praticing with it.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: Do you know how to use a Tai Chi sword?

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: No,,,but I'm going to learning.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: I should hope so, Tai Chi sword is a very beautiful art in the way of swordsmenship, but it's also pretty hard, the key thing to remember is that Tai Chi it's self is about the fluid motion of energy, keep that in mind when training with it.

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: I will do that...thank you for your advise. I do the same thing when using my Sakabatou.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: Another thing that might help in the use of your new weapon Bu, calligraphy.

2005-07-29 [Lordterrex]: like dancing,....

2005-07-29 [Dwarf Ronin]: You know...I might have to try that, and I will. Ketchikan is having a tournment for swordplaying in a 4 months, I think I will entire with my Tai-Chi sword.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: Then train hard Bu, and good luck. I've never been big on tournaments my self, my master has always looked down on them since some are just all show.

2005-07-29 [Lordterrex]: thats the purpose of most tournaments, to show off your skill, little honor in showing off.

2005-07-29 [Doc_D]: I know that, didn't say I liked tournaments either.

2005-10-31 [My Chemical Vampire]: I think that's awesome

2005-10-31 [Dwarf Ronin]: What do you mean, you face each other with other swords.

2005-10-31 [Shining light]: that about sums it up. By the way, Wing Chun Butterfly swords form is **supposedly, feel free to correct me) unique in that every singlye action is mirrored in poen-hand combat.

2005-11-01 [Lordterrex]: open hand combat?

2005-11-01 [Shining light]: ja, sorry. late at night.

2005-11-02 [Lordterrex]: so.. your talking about slapping each other?

2005-11-02 [Doc_D]: Terrex, you should be slapped for that. Open hand combat is fighting with out use of a fist, most of it is redirects and throws, a defensive style.

2005-11-02 [Dwarf Ronin]: Pretty much, yes.

2005-11-02 [Lordterrex]: like wrestling.... i wrestle...why would y6u slap me?.. slap boxing is a very cultural thing.. -_-

2005-11-02 [Doc_D]: Not really, think more along the lines of tai-chi. That's what open hand is. Wrestling is ground fighting, meaning you force your enemy to the ground and into submission.

2005-11-02 [Dwarf Ronin]: I use my hands to parry and redirect the flow.

2005-11-02 [Lordterrex]: only stupid wrestlers, or very strong wrestlers force there opponent down.. you need to trick him down.. thats the ticket

2005-11-02 [Doc_D]: The point is, wrestling, while being a usful style of combat, is not open hand, nor is slapping someone considered open hand.

2005-11-02 [Dwarf Ronin]: Exactly.

2005-11-03 [Lordterrex]: wrestling is an extremely useful form of martial arts... its to bad so many people look down upon it.

2005-11-03 [Doc_D]: I try to encorperate some ground fighting into my style. Since I'm a big guy I can't exactly rely on my legs ya know.

2005-11-03 [Lordterrex]: i agree....

2006-04-11 [Morganath]: Swords are one o the simpler weapons in me opinion...

2006-04-11 [Lordterrex]: yes. beautifully simple my friend. one step above the spear, right behind the.. umm... musket? yes. musket. but, the training a good swordsmen under goes really isnt that simple. the weapon lower than the sword, the club, or even the body. yes, the body, has become an icon of pop culture, the ability to fight with your body alone. a sword makes the fighting much easier. but, for it to be easier, it takes training. we just love swords. ^_^

2006-04-12 [Shining light]: indeed. even though the shaolin rank the sword second in their order of best weapoons, underneath the spear. Spears are cool, but can be bad in tight corners.

2006-04-12 [Doc_D]: Simplicity is just a state of mind, for the weapon is only the extension of the warrior. If the warrior has no skill, no instinct and no true drive for the spirit of the thing then the weapon will not be wielded as simplly as one would think.

2006-04-12 [Lordterrex]: my thoughts exactly...

2006-04-12 [Morganath]: Yeah but for me the sword except samurai and ninjai swords are simple for me...I can't wield a bloody spear or bow for the life of me...I'm also pretty good with the axe...

2006-04-14 [Lordterrex]: ... rock on!. good thing your in the sword masters area eh?

2006-04-18 [Morganath]: yeah i just need to learn the samurai sword put eastern and weastern combat stiles together and in my opinion ye would be unstopable...

2006-04-18 [Doc_D]: That would be a lot harder then you think. The way of the katana involves flowing strikes that slash while western style consists of pretty much swinging and cleaving. The deferent swords are made and smithed for deferent forms of use.

2006-04-18 [Lordterrex]: another thing, about kendo. if you do authentic kendo, its insane. firstly, ill say half the stuff you see in movies is bullshit. its incredibly difficult to block a sword attack with a katana, its curved egde causes the other blade to slide on it rather clumsily. to combine both eastern, and western. i think a western sword would be your best bet. something with a straight edge, although fround upon by the common populace, you will find its better. if you wanted to combine both methods.

2006-04-18 [Shining light]: Of course it is, LordT~ movie-fighting is designed first and forwemost to look good. Traditional mnartial arts styles weren't designed to look good, but to be effective. Which is why you'll never ever see traditional Wing Chun on the screen.

2006-04-18 [Lordterrex]: lol. agreed.

2006-04-19 [Morganath]: Well essentially what i meant was the fighting stile and speed of the Samurai but the more barbaric thinking of the western...western civilization is more about wining at all cost the original samurai was all about a fair fight and true honor and they usually would try to kill quick and clean a westener usually didn't care one way or another...

2006-04-19 [Morganath]: And I do perfer the Western swords so maybe just the speed of the samurai would be better...  Sorry for the double talk i didn't feel like editing the first one....

2006-04-19 [Lordterrex]: i tottaly agree man.. ending the first one.. is always hard. its interesting what we consider barbaric.. isnt it?

2006-04-20 [Morganath]: Well by the true defanition of civilized no one is truely civilized...

2006-04-20 [Lordterrex]: so why call anyone barbaric?

2006-04-20 [Doc_D]: It is impossible for someone to find the spirit of the thing with out absolute devotion, it is not something that can be achieved by a hobby.

2006-04-21 [Lordterrex]: .... that seemed kind of, random. but, ok. rock on doc

2006-04-21 [Doc_D]: Give it some thought, you might realize it goes along perfectly with what we were talking about.

2006-04-21 [Lordterrex]: ... are you talking about nothing being barbaric? i mean... in a sense, if you focus on anything, you will find it has perfect harmony with how things are. is that what you are saying?

2006-04-22 [Doc_D]: Uh, no, that wasn't even close, but feel free to try again, meditate on it then get back to me.

2006-04-22 [Lordterrex]: well, i still think nothing is barbaric.. -_- provided it is concentrated on hard enough

2006-04-25 [Morganath]: Well everything is chaotic and orderly neutral is the world, If something is to orderly no true freedom, if to chaotic no peace maintain a balance....And I think Doc was talkin' about the spirit and medatation of the sword to become one with the blade like the samurai and european barbarians believed(spelling)

2006-04-25 [Lordterrex]: that could be it as well.

2006-04-27 [Dwarf Ronin]: Hello there guys.

2006-04-29 [Morganath]: hey...

2006-04-29 [Doc_D]: Yo

2006-04-29 [Morganath]: So how is everyone this day?

2006-04-30 [Lordterrex]: ehh... emotions are a thing created by something i dont understand. -_-... ok.. thats a lie. with an up there is a down... SWORDS!!

2006-05-16 [Lady of Lore]: wow, this stuff is really good! Mind if I refernce stufff from you guys to my wiki class [Song of Blades]?

2006-05-16 [Indelible]: reference... i guess that would be fine... i really need to update the pages tho

2006-05-17 [champagnebommer 77]: Oh, wow. I haven't really been an active part of any of this for a long time. It's cool to see it's still going.

2006-05-17 [Indelible]: haha its kinda sad the "Leaders" are the ones that stop being active lol! but dont worry! i'm back everyone!

2006-05-18 [Lordterrex]: reference

2006-05-19 [Dwarf Ronin]: I'm 19 finally!!!!!

2006-05-19 [Lordterrex]: WOOO!!!!

2006-05-20 [champagnebommer 77]: Sweet! I wish I was older, but I guess I'm cool with 16 for now.

2006-05-20 [Doc_D]: Heh, 21 punk suckers, I'm legal age to do what ever I feel like.

2006-05-21 [Lordterrex]: ...... except kill people. -_- im legal to do that though

2006-05-21 [Doc_D]: Are you sure about that, I've never said anything about my self personally, only a small portion of my philosophies.

2006-05-21 [Lordterrex]: hmm... lol.. i was kidding.

2006-05-23 [Indelible]: lol I'm a teacher in the academy now! i teach in the song of blades! bout swords and stuff! so i'm gunna need some material to write about! if yall can help that would be great!

2006-05-23 [Doc_D]: Well the most important thing I could recomend would be the mentallity of a true master swordsman.

2006-05-23 [champagnebommer 77]: Yeah, mentality. Like the kind that illegal substances give you. :P

2006-05-24 [Lordterrex]: for shame il tackhead. lol

2006-05-24 [Indelible]: lol drugs are bad... but i cant complain.. i drink loads!

2006-05-29 [Lordterrex]: .......hmmm.. im pondering.

2006-05-30 [champagnebommer 77]: Darnel descibed me as, "the little baby Jesus." Because I slightly resemble the traditional imagery of Jesus and I was calm and relaxed at his party, while so many others were just angry drunks.

2006-05-30 [Lordterrex]: ..... HAHAHAHAHA

2006-05-30 [Dwarf Ronin]: I have to ask you guys, what do you call a sword with a little blade that pops out at the hilt of the sword?

2006-05-30 [Indelible]: retractable lol! and to be a sword thats gotta be a long ass hilt! its more or a dagger probably...

2006-05-30 [Dwarf Ronin]: I mean is that this sword has a dagger at the end of the hilt. It a katana shaped.

2006-05-30 [Morganath]: yer talkin about the katanna on versus aren't ye?

2006-05-31 [Lordterrex]: it would be a sword, with a retractible dagger for the pommel. i dont beileive theres any proffesional name for it. but. ehh, who knows.

2006-05-31 [Indelible]: i havn't heard of anything like in in any professional setting...

2006-05-31 [Morganath]: I know their is a blade like that in the japanese movie Versus with a small blade coming out the hilt of the blade...its not retractable in that movie so i wouldn't want that blade...

2006-05-31 [Doc_D]: I agree with Morganath, a weapon like that would be more dangerous to the weilder then the enemy. If you're not careful you'd end up cutting your own wrists in battle.

2006-05-31 [Indelible]: true true... not a very functional idea... its more for... show... hang it on your wall thats all its really good for

2006-06-01 [Lordterrex]: extreme training with any weapon would make it functional.. but, seeing as the possibility of using both the dagger, and the swod at the same instant is unlikely.. its a pointless and all too showy blade for my taste.

2006-06-01 [Indelible]: blah! i dont really care! just carry a tanto! it works better and is a hell of alot faster!

2006-06-01 [Lordterrex]: i agree.. except i would carry a dagger. double edged is nicer when your stabbing somone in the back. dont get me wrong..a tanto is kick ass.. daggers more my style though. of course.. when it comes to practicality.. i would go with a .45 caliber. :p.. its not a sword though

2006-06-01 [Indelible]: yea i like my 12guage... its sweet

2006-06-02 [Dwarf Ronin]: No, there is a complete hilt and katana, but there is a break in the hilt where a seprate dagger pops out; not loosely, but firmly come out.

2006-06-02 [Morganath]: I still wouldn't want it. Just get a boot dagger and a knife at yer side for extra protection...

2006-06-04 [Alexxei]: Hey guys; I got an idea about to make a Sword Drawings Contest, what do u think about it?

2006-06-04 [Lordterrex]: .. i think we already did it.. but we could do it again!

2006-06-04 [Doc_D]: Lol, if only I still had any thing close to artistic ability. But still that does sound like fun.

2006-06-05 [Lordterrex]: still?.. so you had it once?

2006-06-05 [Doc_D]: Hah, sadly yes.

2006-06-05 [Lordterrex]: wow.. what happened man?

2006-06-05 [Doc_D]: A class called Advertisment Design, I quickly learned to hate drawing for a year or 3.

2006-06-05 [Indelible]: yes i have had 2 other sword art contests... and i will probably make a new one soon... or if any of you want to make it you can...

2006-06-05 [Dwarf Ronin]: I want to enter, I'm good at drawing
