He has the right to be cocky Man's probably went through the epitomes in the ancient texts to learn the dual-handed wine glass sword techniques

[@narusawa74]

Where is that plate?? I need it! Seen off-hand baby style too. Veeeeery Intimidating indeed. Instant forfeit!

[@mr.picklethanos7340]

Created in 1459 in France by Winear Winesford. The technique focuses on defending and attacking with your primary hand using your sword while inflicting emotional damage with the wine glass in your off hand. It was used to great effect in battles such as The Battle of the Vineyard (1573), The Siege of Winesburg, (1684), and in the legendary Duel of the Brewery (1739). It has since lost popularity and is rarely seen on the battlefield. It has sadly been nearly completely replaced by the off-shoot dual-handed beer mug dagger technique, which originated in Britain . It is nice to see that it is not completely forgotten yet.

By-the-books swordsmen are no joke! I always thought they'd be too stilted or rigid in their fighting doctrine, but after getting a rivalry with one, I've learned they're quick, sneaky devils! Always learn from your manuscripts friend, they have secrets that have been unused for hundreds of years, and they're usually willing to teach!

[@Chazz_K]

It helps when the manuals often emphasize *dealing with the situation* rather than rigid forms and specific combinations of motions. Unlike some OTHER forms of martial arts (which I studied much more of before getting tired of ego-dripping teachers)

[@uexkeru]

@@Chazz_K I'd like to see more study done on what keeps some traditional martial arts (especially HEMA) viable vs others that have become about how they look rather than performance in an actual fight. I believe with HEMA the sauce is its undeniable connection to fights/competition. But another explanation could be that weapon and grappling arts were just more developed in the past as striking arts were bottlenecked by lack of protective training equipment. But regardless of cause, I too felt like my time in kung fu/karate based arts was mostly a waste of time

[@williamjenkins4913]

When the book is written by someone that learned from life or death fights then you should go by-the-book.

[@divineterabyte5181]

@@Chazz_K oof, yeah, i love HTMA (historic traditional martial arts, so kenjutsu, etc), but so many modern teachers misunderstand so much of why they teach what they do. Im a 1st dan iaido student, a battojutsu hobbyist and an avid lover of TMA, so i definitely get the type. I hope that, if you continue searching for knowledge in these fields again, you find better teachers, cuz they really make or break the art in my opinion

[@uexkeru]

@@divineterabyte5181 I've never touched Koryu but it seemed like a community mixed up with guys who've gotten lost in the "budo" and guys who want to train as if they were living back then, and others who just try to preserve the history.

To be fair, muscle memory is a pain to hammer home, in a fight your built instincts is the only thing that will be fast enough to react.
