I will go ahead and call bullshit on this one buddy. I know the area pretty damn well, and you are full of shit you fat f*ck.

I find it unfathomable, even on this forum, that anyone is getting worked up enough to critique the fighting style used by aliens from a 70s kids movie. Who were, incidentally, using whooshing magic laser swords.

I realise this is CC, but seriously - seriously - have you got nothing better to do?



EDIT possibly the most hypocritical thing I have posted in, oooh, an hour or so. Sorry.

You don't know the area as good as you think you do. Have you ever spent any time during December up on top of the Mesas of Black Mesa on the Hopi Reservation?

The storms that came through in 2002 were deathly cold. And my first trip up to Hopiland I was trying to walk from Winslow to Hopi and had to find shelter in a small restroom in the Homovoli Ruins just outside of Winslow. I had to light a candle to try to keep warm and I didn't dare go to sleep, as I probably wouldn't wake up.

Now why did I get trapped in a restroom out in the middle of the desert with no tent or jacket (all I had was a damn wool blanket that I cut a hole in to make a Poncho!)?

Well, I spent eleven years in Arizona and all that time was down in the Phoenix area. I had NO IDEA that the weather in Arizona could reach that cold of temp.

When I hit the road I thought it would be warm and tolerable, but I was direly mistaken...if I didn't practice Tummo (and also weighed about 400 pounds) I would have easily frozen to death, no joke.

Thanks. I'm not a member, yet.

It is a common misconception that European combat systems are crude applications of brute force. As the movie Kingdom of Heaven points out in the first thirty minutes, the blade is not the only part of a sword that can strike.

Unlike Asian and Near-Eastern swordplay, the variety in use of the European Sword is immense; virtually every part of the weapon is usable. Can't saw that about the Jian, Dao, Katana, Scimatar or Yataghan.[/u]

It sounds like fencing mixed with street fighting.

More-or-less, the hilt and pommel can be used to hit the opponent just like the blade. That's not counting the other "weapons" are one's disposal; knees, booted feet, gloved fists, elbows, etc. In a real swordfight, the sword is more than a blade and even the entire sword is not the only way to "Skin the Cat", as it were. Also, a steel buckler or targe (a small round shield with a spike in the center) could be used as a weapon to bash heads and faces when the sword parried a blow.
