Hey, come back! We'd like to see more of your takes on media. I came from the FFT Class Warfare videos which were 👌🙏

[@StudyofSwords]

Lol. Of all the videos to comment on.😂 I'm currently on a "sabbatical" (from my hobby KZbin channel, lol) and am immersed in research and preparation for panels/presentations for Anime North 2023. Rest assured I have every intention of continuing to make videos and should have some forthcoming for 2023. Appreciate your patience!

Ayyy, a leftist, a HEMA practitioner, and a FF7 fan? Never thought I'd find a youtube channel I feel so much in common with. Out of curiosity, what weapon system do you primarily study?

[@StudyofSwords]

We do exist! I'm also a weeb, just that a lot of the writing/research I do is for panels/presentetions at anime conventions so the channel is more a clearing house for stuff I don't otherwise have a place to share. HEMA wise, British Military Sabre, particularly "The Art of Defense on Foot" by Roworth, and French Smallsword, primairly Girard's "Art of the Smallsword".

​@@StudyofSwords That's awesome. I'm an avid con-goer myself. If luck would have it, maybe we'll cross paths on that front. Regardless, good luck on your training and your channel! I'll be looking forward to the next video.
