I'm decently good at swordplay.  I take kendo and that helps a lot.  I'm more suited to using a katana in general.  If you remember BV, who's currently AWOL, he's the undisputed master of swordplay as far as I'm concerned.

Fencing doesn't exacly help when going up against a competent fighter with a zweihander.

Well I took fencing for 3 years told them they were all stupid di**s and quit then I practiced regular swordplay for 9 years still doing it now 5 hours a day even at work but thats with a broken golf club im good enough to take out 3 maybe 4 decent swordsmen fighting against me i might end up with about 10-20 cuts and bruises but i'll kill them and live.(by the way thats not bragging.)(I use a long sword or a short sword or a bastard sword)

My prefering weaponry in a fight is a long sword a short sword long used first the short second then for my last weapon i'd use a bowie knife and a knife half that size .

I've had 6-7 years of Katana and Broadsword training. So i can say im a pretty decent fighter. the choice of sword I would choose in a fight would have to be a Celtic Broadsword and a Kodachi best weapons to have in a fight

I practice Aikido, and lately have specifically branched into the sword and staff art of the discipline.

Like Garet, I've also done fencing. Those suits weren't my style, however.

Well considering there really isn't any practical use for sword fighting these days, I'd say sport.

How the hell can I get a job at a faire?

And again, a katana is generaly the way to go, at least for me.  It's light and sharper than a razor, which means that it requires not strength byt correct form and speed, hence all the people getting one across the neck and their heads falling off seconds later.  In theory, there isn't anything a katana can't cut.

Katanas are known to be extremely sharp but also extremly fragile, considering I never tried sword fighting, I guess I would rather go with a shortsword and a shield, cant go wrong with those.

I train in fighting with Katana, although I only own a wooden training sword right now.

Katanas are a sharp and elogant blade. Europian swords on the other hand, are more likely to bruise you then cut you.

Sorry,
I'm new to this site and am bored of waiting for a reply to my profile requests.

So I started to look through the lounge posts and found this.

I am quite proficient with all types of swords. A two edged Scottish Claymore is my favorite. However, any of the Samuri swords, previuosly mentioned will do in a pinch.

Let's not forget the calvary sabre used throughtout the U.S. since the Revolutionary War. The sabre was an effective weapon throughout Mideveil times.

I think it was the Muslims who first introduced sabres of a sort. Or maybe it was cutlass's I can't remember.

But, I do remember picking up a stick and metal garbage can lid as my shield an fighting swordplay for days on end as a kid. From there I just kind of got proficient .

I even fenced some, myself. Fencing is fun and not is easy as some of you have pretended it to be.You who fenced are being modest and I bet your'e really good at Swordplay

Sorry not to correct anyone but I think you meant Ikaido, which is actually a self-defense for women and  children, taught as a subsiderary to Karate. I took it when I lived on the island of Guam. where all the little kids were taught the art of fighting.

I always was real good at defending myself, it's just I got better after living there.

In after years, I was about twelve, and I consigned to do lawn work for a a really old chinese dude. After, I had accomplished the work he assigned me, and gave me a much needed $20.00, he took me into his house, which, by the way was awesome.

He showed me ancient weapons and things that noone would normally see.

It was in after days that he would invite me over and taught me how to use a staff. They have another name for it, but  I can't remember now. Bonzia stick, pool stick, staff, large stick. It doesn't really matter.Kanboo? I really can't remember.

I was recently at the local pool hall where at Navy veteran told me how I sounded like I was full of $#!+ basically. However, when I confronted him and told him how real my life has been, he came to understand.

I have a real good way of confronting people without  fighting, because, that was what I was taught too,

Are you to stupid to match wits with me cuz you wanna fight?

They back down, ALMOST, everytime.

Look out for that one time tho., you just gotta duck dodge and run maybe. It depends on how quick they are?
