Kewl.......still the idea that it was still lives.
Albeit not fencing which seems to be the gist of the thread I think wallace's sword was more claymore like in cutting a swath through the crowd was it not ? I have a Claymore on my I love me wall that a friend in Santa Fe made for me as that was a nickname I picked up after an exercise where I demonstrated a right proper claymore ambush on a large area . Overkill clearly but 72 Claymores in a ravine in depth , 360 degrees up in the trees all daisy chained and set off with an old motorola M122 from half a mile off at an LP/OP. It was sweet....:o)
I was thinking about sword fights and think the movie... last samuri... was pretty fair. Opinion ??
Last Samurai was pretty good for sword fighting, but it was still oriental sword fighting.
The old european style of two handed sword fighting lives on a bit in bayonet fighting.
