And, ultimatepotato, your "discoveries" are crap. I haven't even taken a month of Kendo, and I know quite a bit more about weapons that you can ever imagine. Every single "idea" you came up with is from some flashy movie. You know what? They do that in movies. They're not ACTUALLY sword fighting. I suggest you go buy the "Tech of Fighting" or whatever that show was on the discovery channel, with the 3D animations. That had some real good beginner stuff in it.

Yes they were crap. I've never seen any of that in any movie. Mostly we were just being stupid. What movie has the falling out of a tree bit? And I've never seen any movie where someone starts wiggling a sword around, especially a "flashy" movie. Can you inform me of any form of cinema where that happens?

PS. I've taken jujitsu for about six months. My uncle taught me how to duel with a rapier about a year ago. A friend of mine used to take fencing. And so every once in a while we duel each other. I have a scar on my ringfinger cause of that. Movie! Bah Humbug!

Also, there's a big difference when you're fighting with real swords, and you want to hurt eachother. But, of course, few will ever know what that's like.

Uh, Kirbly, that was rather incredibly arrogant, only the first two tries were based on moves, and the first only losely, sicne he's not planning on attacking someone in the shower, although it would be rather unblockable in that case . Also, Potato isn't trying to act like some jujitsu master or something. He's jsut trying to find an unblockable move. for the msot part, it seems like hes just a guy who likes sword fighting, and i have yet to see him act differently, and as such he never deserved such a rebuttle.

And the falling out of a tree bit? Still missing that... Oh btw, do you really think I'm going to use a real sword to plummet on top of him? If so I'm glad I don't hang around with you.
