If you ever watch the interview with Bob Anderson former fencer who did the fights for Adventures of Robin Hood, Star Wars og trilogy, and Lord of the rings he basically says yeah if you lunge like that, you will lose your arm at minimum if your opponent has a real sword.

More likely he will just sidestep you as lunging is slow and cut you in half.

Or run you through with it.

Also fencing prioritizes first strike now and it didn't in the 30s. Electronic fencing ruined it.

"Karate Kumite sparring 1970s" in this video the guys are going at it more. One is a grey old geezer too.

Electronic fencing?

Yeah as they didn't count weak blows.

And people said that was undemocratic

But like if you cause a flesh wound to the shoulder.

And the other guy runs you through or comes in close and stand you repeatedly in the guts.

Your dead.

And he doesn't even have to go to the er.

Compare the Japanese kendo vs iado.

Kendo is retarded. Iado is drawing the sword as it recognizes that most fights were over in seconds.

So it taught shit like how do chop a guy in half going upward when you are sitting Indian style.

Youtube took down some of the great old fights and skateboard vids.

Where you can hear bones crack and ligaments break

isnt Iado a part of Kendo

No

Brutal.

Iaido is just drawing a real sword and putting it back.

In the scabbard. There's another martial art of actually swordfighting.

Just do some entry courses on krav maga

Most people can't fight

Most big dudes just throw their weight around

Yeah like NFL playera

They try to sit on people

When anyone over 5'5

Can chop an animal in half with a sword by swinging with their body

And a day of training

As the mythbusters showed when the little redhead woman cut the cow in half.

@spaceplacenta the thing to be scared of is tall normal sized guys who can punch

As they have massive leverage and reach

I personally try to get a chokehold in as fast as possible

Game over

I can cut off their blood flow without cutting off their air

I havent foguhtbanyone since I was 19

Got chokeholded but got in an eye gouge

So I won

And then I broke the guys glasses

Nice
