lOl those fake weopons clubs suck. I was in one and you couldn't do head shots!!! stupid bastard wusses. Anyway I would stick with fencing if you want to see an example of what a fencer could do to some more beserk method just watch Rob Roy.

Do you ever watch an anime or Japanese samurai film and think that the what they do is abolutely amasing and wonder how the hell anyone ever though of creating that and designing swords and skills like that and then watch something like Braveheart or Robinhood where they show western sword fights and think that they're just basically whacking their swords together with no skill at all and that the swords are the chunkiest things ever made? Maybe it's just me.

well just remember that The Ninja is an Assassin while the Samurai is a fighter, though the samurai is a fighter not many go into a full scale war like western idiots. Ninja wars are much sweeter cause theyjust get assassinated till ever man is dead. Kickass wouldn't u say? heh, the "Robin Hood" style of fightnig was only as a war type, never just for 1 target, its ment to keep killing. As for me, well i like the ninja style, screw the samurai they should all die cept samurai jack he's cool lol

I just meant that the japanese had defined methods of fighting and the western form was basically fisty cuffs or whip out the old hugely oversized piece of metal over which I have no control and wave it about until it hits something. It always looked rediculous to me.

Perhaps... somewhere out there, there are anime characters watching reality, wondering if their lives could be as normal as the ones they are watching. Sitting around, watching tv, playing video games, going out to clubs, meeting people, playing sports, etc... etc... etc...

Just think how they must feel, wanting to be a part of the normal life that you have set aside for yourself as you aspire to be a part of their life.

Ok granted fencing can be pretty cool although most people look like fools when they're doing it but you don't see many fencers on the battlefield or staggering drunk from a tavern. That's when you might need some sword fighting skills not in a fencing club.

Hey, maybe there is an alternate/anime reality. Cool.

(j/k all you people who think we're serious about letting our lives waste away for anime)
