Source of quote in ARMA article

Postby Allen Johnson » Fri Feb 24, 2012 4:12 pm

In John Clements article, "Edges of Knowledge: Parrying with a Cutting Sword", her credits Fluvio Del Tin with the quote, "…It is improper to bang swords edge to edge…it is better to deflect the opponent’s sword. These people that perform swordfighting in the wrong way…they use swords with full strength edge to edge…I wish that in (the) future many people (will) learn how to do swordfighting correctly, instead of imitating Hollywood heroes."
Does anyone know if this source is documented in print anywhere? I'd like to use it but I'd also like to source it. Thanks.

Your best bet on that is probably to email him and ask him. His email is way down in the lower right corner of the page.
