Anybody have any links to support their theory's? Im not trying to make you "put your money where your mouth is", I just want some further reading. This stuff really fascinated me, I never thought there would be such a topic here on X. This is great.
I saw the history channel do some mock broadsword fighting and they did grip the blade and swing and swoop and more or less use that sword in ways I would've never imagined a sword could be used. They even used it like a sledge hammer holding the blade and hitting the opponent with the hilt and crossguard.
I dont know of anybody that still practices that style, do you?
