Debunkery: Swordfighting: Not What You Think It Is(via @io9)
I have always loved swords for their history and role in popular mythology. This is a cool piece from someone who has spent their career with swords and reveals a little bit more about their truth.
Sword Fighting is Not What You Think…
To borrow a famous line, the problem with most people trying to understanding the true nature of historical sword combat is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.
