[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7427594, member: 19675"] I did some “bopper sparring” with a group of guys back in the 1990s- one of whom was a Marine, and also in SCA. Like real weapons, most of the weapons weighed between 1.5-5lbs. One of the more proficient guys was a 6’3”, 330lb bouncer who used 2WF with a sword & dagger. He had biceps bigger than some women’s waists. IOW, he was BIG. (While pretty strong myself, I was only 5’7” and 193lbs.) He was quite skilled at using crossed blades to trap and redirect blows, with a flowing follow-up counterstrike- often along the line of the redirected weapon. The thing is, I damn near concussed him the first time we sparred when I used a polearm. The head was @3lbs, the weapon was 6’ long. I held it shoulder high and vertical, its head about 11’ in the air. He charged, and I brought it down. As powerful as he was, his attempted redirect failed. He “caught” the weapon, but 3lbs being brought down like that on a 6’ pole with my arms fully extended generated enough force that the head and both of [I]his[/I] weapons were driven right back into him. Only a last moment juke of his head prevented him from taking his own sword to the face. His tree-trunk arms couldn’t muster enough force to push my strike out of my intended target zone. He taught a lot of people about how dangerous 2WF could be...but I taught [I]him[/I] a lesson about pure applied physics. ;) [/QUOTE]
