i tryed to justify applaying of this move in real combat with c&t swords, but not likely to hapen

it could be like some feint attack. swing widely - he expects blow from that side, continue movement behind the head and step forward - opponent's guard has to go on the other side. i tryed to explain. anyway..... it has no sense <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

you have to be very very very fast and sure of yourself to do this in real fight.

i am interesting in tournaments in martial arts across the europe. not the one which started in 19th or 20th ct., but those with longer tradition. where they are, what's the goal of contestors etc.... in croatia we have 4-5 tournaments. i'll search for more data about them, so read you soon... <img ...

i have to say that it isn't "f" we are talking about. it looks like f, but has no line (sometimes, when it does, the line is different than that on "f") croatian literature had something similar, because of sounds that german and latin don't have, and because of ortographic ideal...

well... isn't jousting armour a bit diferent of that on the field?

isn't the point of jousting to stay as long as you can in a saddle, to crush the biggest number of lances, show your precision, strenght, agility, NOT TO KILL AN OPONENT?

Scholars have discovered that crusading knights were generally wealthy men with plenty of their own land in Europe. well, i am convinced, because i know that when man has lot of money, he do not want even more money.... weekend warriors i respect prof. madden's "prof.", but as many prof.s...

first, i wanted to make it obvious that perzians didn't fight against only 300 greeks second - the majority of the army was going around the passage. these were sent just to "take care" of greek forces in the passage. there was also another part of persian army that in the same time took c...

my self-defense teacher said:

when i train, i think only about me. i am very egoistic <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> i am not military personell. i am not an athlet. i only follow renaissance way of thinking what the ideal person is. mediocrity. i adore renaissance and baroque - the most o...

OK. here we go... my source is herodotus himself. i shall state the number of paragraphs in his work so you can read it in language that suits you best, or even the original. the number of persians: herodotus, counting, came to number of 2 641 610 men under arms (asian and european combined) [VII,18...
