take a look at: http://www.kismeta.com/diGrasse

also has interesting links/jumps, including "Targeteer," which is about Spanish warfare.

happy reading/viewing,

check out the sections on sword combinations:

sword & dagger
& cloak
& buckler (small shield)
& target (shield)
& 2nd sword (didn't know they did that)

also a section on pole weapons

good stuff!

is there an FMA site with this kind of format?

Chop Wisby · 11-28-2000, 02:23 AM

hello, you guys should check out Kriscutlery.com and go to the Sundata section, great antique blads and some new stuff as well, my whole christmas wish list on one page.

another particularly good blurb from the digrasse site. this one is on defense and sounds like fma triangle footwork/defense to me:

"Particularly dangerous is the habit of retreating while parrying - caused apparently by a lack of confidence in the parry's ability to control the opponent's attack. Problems caused by withdrawing include:

The greater likelihood of your being hit by (or near) the point, and so take a stronger, more dangerous, blow.

To strike you must first take a step back to where you were before. This takes so much time that you risk counter attack and give your opponent an opportunity to defend.

I advise stepping into a cut, with the left foot taking a sloping step forward. Thereby, the attack's measure will be misjudged, and the cut can be taken close to your opponent's hilt, where it has less power. In addition, by stepping forward, you can strike in the same instant. This manner of defense is so sure and quick, I use it above all others. "

pretty cool. my fma teacher said that swordfightintg is swordfighting the world over, and it's all done the same. the difference is the words and terms that are used. he said if it is a method that men really use for defense, then it is going to look similar to any other method in application..
