The Abandonment of the Gladius for the Spatha - Why?

[petrinus]

im not even going to pretend for a minut this guys serious, now i know martial arts are overplayed but dont underestimate them becaus eof this, that goes for the sword too, stereo types exist for a reason, they are often and in this case true, a vking or european blade, stand up to a a kamakura blade, now I"LL say rubbish and mean it, and to even attempt to compare training, to even suggest a barbarian could advance on a samurai successfully i think is a bold statement

and as far as he describes his experience with a katana, he obviously lacks grace, an essential element in sworf fighting, well to do it well i mean

oh bother and away with this, each his own, my love of rome remains untarnished but my observances and observations in kenjutsu are proven and a subjective reality!!!
