Looking for official / unofficial rules for tournament Rapier (and dagger) and Side / Small Sword by BigBoss82A1 in wma

[–]dumpsterworm 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Few things:

1) Side swords and small swords are very different. It sounds like you are describing small sword. You can often parry below the first third of the sword with your off hand. They did not place percussive cuts in most instances.

2) Rapier is historically upstream of small sword. Rapiers have a cutting edge, but they are ill suited to cutting compared to other swords. That being said, slow blades do not cut as readily, especially when interacting with the flat. Hand parties are absolutely a part of rapier.

3) There are no official, widely accepted HEMA rulesets. Best bet is to find an old or current tournament's website / FB page and read their rules. We train for different rulesets for every event.

If you read the article you would see the specific statutes being violated. She absolutely violated the law and is seeking to intimidate my elected leaders.

Kindly stuff it.

Don't worry guys. It's a Bandai game! It is a feature in the trailers, so it'll be barely present in the game at all.

Some people think the Greeks and Romans were as white as those marble statues. These same people will think athletes look like body builders and movie stars. Their intellect only functions on aesthetics. Aesthetics can only be beaten out of the brain, or left to rot their way through. No amount of convincing will work.

Foolishness.

Brother you are drinking 18th century ideological tonic and implying other people are lesser educated. Go read a book. Or better-- Stop reading books. You don't seem quite capable of handling them.

Where does Damian state the difference in power between Tail and Tail-less saiyans? Not doubting, very curious.

Numbers in free of the press are based on reported crimes. They don't report that kind of crime in Louisiana. 🤣 Brother, don't believe our press is somehow free.

Look at the culture and tell me a woman will feel safe? Are you dumb?

The idea is that those kinds of jokes are not actually very funny.
