"Does the master trust me completely?" Ask me while approaching the master.

"Yes." Yeah." Strictly, sir replied.

I took a pear from a tree and ate it.

"This is a tree that grows because of my strength. Can you believe that?"

Then the master immediately took the pear from the tree and ate it without hesitation.

"I believe." Say sir after swallowing his first bite.

I ate the pear in my hand.

"Follow me, Diana you may leave the mistress with me."

Actually I'm still angry but how else would he be the master of this castle.

We went to his study not to the training room. I think we will learn to sword immediately turns out I have to listen to the explanation from the master first about sword.

A sword is a type of sharp weapon that has a long blade. A sword can have two sharp sides or only one sharp side. In some cultures, when compared to other weapons, swords usually have more or the highest prestige.

Sword bars are usually made of hard metals such as iron or steel. Although there was a golden sword, it was only used as an ornament. For training, usually wooden swords are used, although hard wooden swords are still dangerous.

"Sir.. (my whine) can we just practice. Explain along with the practice."

I don't like very long explanations, for me it's boring and makes me sleepy.

"No."

What a short and very firm answer the hallmark of the great lord in this castle.

Then he continued his explanation.

The double-edged sword.

Watch the battle scenario. Awareness of the situation is the key to winning the fight. The mind not only focuses on the realization that you must be ready to fight, but also pays attention to the location around you quickly and thinks of ways to change the location of the battle into a profitable thing. If you are not ready, you can be attacked before you can draw a sword.

Trust in your gut feeling. Are your feelings not good? Do you feel supervised? Is the situation too calm, or is something out of place, or did you hear something vague? Pay attention to your intuition because it might save your life.

Beware threats. If you do not pay attention to the attacker, you are in an unfavorable position. Some of the things you notice include strange or suspicious behavior, situations around you, and even your own "gut feeling.

Watch the battle situation. Fighting against thugs in a dark alley is very different from doing a fight in a tournament. The fights in tournaments are controlled and executed based on rules or codes of conduct. When you are attacked on the streets (for some reason), maybe you will fight to defend your life. You can break the rules by applying "disrespectful" tactics, for example by kicking, squinting sand into the eyes of opponents, or doing tricks.

2

Observe the fighting environment. Every sword fight must be done somewhere. Observe the Battle Area so that you can guess what weaknesses you may have, and what things you can turn into something profitable. If you can set up a strategy to be able to attack and/or protect yourself more effectively (for example by preparing a sudden attack, cornering your opponent to a dead end, taking cover behind a large rock), maybe you can win.

Some environmental elements that can be utilized include:

Bright sunlight can blind the eye if it is at the right angle with a strong level of sharpness. Force your opponent to be in a position that makes his eyes exposed to sunlight so that you become difficult to see.

Dark environments can make the body invisible, both you and your opponent.

The forest has plenty of room to hide. Trees can make it difficult for fighters to form mass defences such as "walls from shields", or launch attacks with formations such as on the battlefield.

Natural obstacles such as cliffs, seas, or walls can hinder movement and hinder attempts to escape.

Sword-fighters (especially those wearing armor or armor) usually cannot perform at their best in areas of mud, swamp, ice, or in thick, soft snow.

Fighting on the battlefield should be done as a team, not accentuating individual skills. You will rely on people around you to survive. Acting on your own rashly can be fatal to yourself and your friends. The environment in urban areas is usually in the form of a closed place, such as a room or road.

3

Unplug the sword before you start fighting. The sword swing of a trained person only takes a fraction of a second. So, if you've unsheathed the sword, your time won't be wasted. In addition, the sword would also be useless if it just hung in its sheath.

On the other hand, if your sword is designed to be easily plucked from its sheath quickly (and you have trained it), this can be a great surprise attack. It can also intimidate your opponent by showing that you are a highly trained fighter.

It is perfect for Japanese swords that can be used to attack while being plucked from its scabbard. This style is called iaido and batto-jutsu.

4

Be relaxed! Panic is a natural reaction when one fights using a sword. However, if you are tense, the mind will be weak so that you cannot act quickly, in control, or with a clear mentality. This could be fatal. By practicing, you can learn to concentrate in dangerous situations. Your mind will learn to focus on what is being faced.

Win a Swordfight Step 3

Keep your body balanced so you can attack and fend off without getting hit. Always position your legs shoulder-width apart, and when moving, keep your legs outstretched. Never place your two feet together. Use a sword grip that makes it easy for you to move it. Keep an eye on your opponent's movements and learn how to move when attacking and launch your opening attack.

You must be quick. When fending off, keep the sword near the body so that you do not have to stretch your hands to fend off the attack. Try to always counterattack. The movement and placement of the feet is the key to balance. The more often the soles of the feet touch the ground, the balance becomes better so that the strength you channel in the attack becomes greater.

To maintain balance, try to move by shifting your legs, not lifting and moving them. Tilting the body forward will lift the heel thereby reducing the balance on the ground. Be careful with the placement and use of the foot in each attack as this can give the opponent a chance to hit you.

Keep the body straight with the chest and body pointed forward so that the balance will be maintained when you swing the sword. It also makes it easier for you to avoid your opponent's attacks with simple body movements. If the body is facing sideways, you will be locked because you can only avoid attacks in one direction.

6

Start the fight carefully. If you are too rash when attacking, especially against a trained fighter, maybe he will just wait for you to swing his sword. By fighting carefully, you can maintain control and focus at all times.

It also allows you to form the best defense you can do by simply avoiding your opponent's attack to the side (or shifting your legs to the side). This can save lives and allow you to win the fight. Dodging (eating by moving the body back) is perfect to apply in the open as well as indoors (if you can do it quickly).

7

Have a strong defense. If you can't fend off or dodge just once, this can be fatal. So you have to protect yourself well. Keep the position of the sword allows you to swing it from the bottom of the body towards the top of the head. It is a middle position, which is suitable for any skill level. This allows you to respond to your opponent's attacks at a reasonable speed, as well as giving you plenty of opportunities to launch your own attacks.

8

Keep your weapons ready. In general, the sword should be stretched away from your body in a comfortable distance by being directed to the throat or perhaps the eyes of the opponent. It is a movement to target the target. It serves as a stalk against the opponent's attack (which must pass through your sword first). This position can be very intimidating, especially for inexperienced opponents.

10

Make the first attack. Although skilled fighters can fight continuously for long periods of time, actual sword fighting is often determined by the first strike (usually completed in less than 30 seconds). Be confident in your attacks. If your first attack misses, the opponent will take advantage and end the fight with a deadly attack.

11

Find and maintain the ideal distance based on the balance between your range and your opponent. "Reach" is the weapon itself plus the length of the sword swing. Long arms that use short swords have the same range as short arms that use long swords. The perceived comfort can depend on several factors: height, sword length, sword style, and fighting style. All of these things affect the right distance for you.

If your "reach" is shorter, move closer and keep your position within range of your opponent's defense. Don't let him keep you away. If you continue to approach, an opponent who has a longer range will not be easy to swing the sword well, and usually you can swing the sword faster than a person who has a longer range.

Keep your distance from your opponent if you use a longer sword. Longer swords can keep opponents away, reducing the chances of contact.

If you have almost the same range, put yourself in a position that can attack forward with just one move.

12

Always try to be calm and confident. A calm attitude can determine the outcome of a fight, just like a sword, and it is an effective tactic. If you feel nervous or frightened, your opponent may take advantage of your lack of confidence and will provoke you to make a fatal mistake. A good fighter tends to make his opponent alert, unsettled, and frightened.

You do have to stay calm, but try to show aggressiveness that will intimidate your opponent. In fact, you can also pretend to feel scared, make your opponent laugh at you so that he becomes complacent and makes a fatal mistake.

Every strength has a weakness. For example, a high-bodied fighter may have a longer range, but he may take a long time to swing a sword. A tall body is also not beneficial in areas that have low ceilings. Every weakness has a strength. An inexperienced fighter is a difficult opponent to predict.

13

Find the plot of the battle and try to control it when the fight begins. This is the conclusion of this article summarized in one sentence, which is a very important thing. If you manage to find the plot of the fight and control it, you have a great chance to immediately end the fight with a deadly move. This concept is difficult to understand, but you can try it next time when practicing a match with a friend.

Find the pattern and flow of the fight from one move to the next, and try to control the opponent. A fighter usually attacks, defends, and applies tactics that are most mastered and comfortable for him. It takes years and a lot of practice to gain this kind of ability. If you have mastered it, half the fight will be yours.

14

Don't expect the fight to go on dramatically. Most sword fights are completed with simple, timely, and on-target attacks and strokes. The complicated and dazzling sword moves usually only occur in action movies. There are certain goals that make a person need to show off maneuvering in the right situations and occasions.

However, this action can make You experience a humiliating defeat, unless You are an expert. For example, do not rotate the body in a circle. It may look beautiful in the movie, but it keeps your defenses open to attack.

One goal that may be beneficial is: intimidation. Showing off sword playing skills to an inexperienced opponent can ruin the confidence of the person.

Making the opponent doubt his own ability to fight was a great psychological victory.

Another good goal is to distract your opponent. When your opponent is gobsmacked with your sword dancing skills, you can prepare to launch an attack on his defensive area.

Exercise is very important. If you practice very hard, maybe 10% of the knowledge you learn will be seen in the fight. You should be able to act on instinct, without having to waste time thinking. The basic technique will work automatically, and this is what makes it called 'basic'.

Practice basic techniques constantly most of the time as this will probably be the only thing you have as a helper. It usually takes about 2 months to learn a technique in full, but this technique can disappear in just 1 month.

Accuracy is more important than strength.

Remember that every part of the sword is a weapon, including the tip, the sharp part, the hand protector, and the handle. Your body and whatever is around you can also be used as weapons. The sword fight will not be restricted to using the sword alone. Use things

anything so you can win.

If possible, find out in advance what weapon your opponent will be using. If fighting with an opponent who uses a fast little sword, do not let his appearance fool you. This weapon may have a moderate degree of flexibility and is excellent for penetrating open defences.

On the other hand, If the opponent used a heavy greatsword, perhaps he wanted to end the fight with one or two attacks. As much as possible you should keep the body away from the opponent and wait until he is exhausted.

Look at the area around you and take advantage of it to your advantage. Cornering an opponent to a barrier behind him is a useful action. In addition, the position of the body with the back of the sun can make opponents glare so that the defense will be open to attack.

Take good care of fighting equipment. The sword and armor will not disappoint you and can provide great usefulness if well maintained.

You can't become an expert swordsman just by reading this article. While this article attempts to summarize the basics of swordsmanship, the various complex swordsmanship cannot be explained on paper, video, computer screens, or WikiHow articles. If you are interested in learning it, look for a martial arts college, a fencing school, or a college that specializes in the use of swords.

Abroad there is SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) who trains to fight using swords and armor. Choose a college you like and practice with an expert teacher. Keep in mind that each college and sword type has a different style so some sections in this article may not be suitable for you.

Don't dodge and evade like a maniac. Pay attention to where the opponent moves when swinging the sword, and do not move too much. When your opponent is crashing and you are dodging to the side, your opponent's defense will be open to attack. Take this chance. If necessary, you can carry a shorter companion sword (offhand sword) in the other hand. This is not cheating, but acting practically.

The placement of the body position is important. Keep the body perpendicular to the sword drawn towards the opponent (such as the position of the fencer). This makes it difficult for you to be targeted so that vital organs will be protected.

If possible, do not fight against more than one person. If you have to fight a lot of people, try to make movements that make their positions collide with each other. This allows you to deal with your opponents one by one.

Save energy. Veteran fighters have learned that the fight of life and death requires a very hard effort. So, do not waste time by doing unnecessary movements and maneuvers. Your life may depend on this.

Use the most mastered weapons and techniques and match your strengths. Trying something new in a fight can get you killed.

Commemorative

Remember that there is no prize for the 2nd champion in a sword fight. The first champion is the one who still stands when the fight is over, and the second champion means death. When you engage in a sword fight (or any weapon) against someone, your ultimate goal is to defend your life, not to hunt for rewards.

When fencing (for fun, like a child using a stick), the main mistake many people make is to hit the sword, not the opponent. So keep this in mind when fighting.

Hit your opponent (hand, body, or head), not the sword. You can defeat your opponent easily if he attacks your sword (stick). In addition, your posture and self-confidence will also change. This action can usually shake an amateur opponent.

This is indeed cliche, but you should always prepare yourself for something unexpected.

Sword fighting had no standard rules other than an attempt to survive. The opponent can kick, squint the ground to the face, or anything else that could bother you. Remember that you can also use this tactic.

When using two swords, do not let your arms cross. This can make you lose a lot of maneuverability, which can be fatal. Use the "lever" handle as described above.

Never turn your body. Although it is only a moment and looks cool, this action is ineffective and useless. Reversing the body with the back facing the opponent (even if it is only one second) can be fatal. So, never do it!

Twisting a sword is usually only done by a major dramben. In combat, turning the sword can make the grip detach so that your defense will be open to attack. Even so, twisting a sword like a "windmill" or forming a figure eight with two swords can intimidate less experienced (albeit exhausting) fighters.

However, do not do so in the presence of an experienced opponent. Even Darth Maul (one of the characters in Star Wars) can't escape just by spinning a sword.

All the rules in the competition would not apply in an actual battle. No points, time off, and code of conduct.

You can gain an advantage over your opponent if you know the person's character and ignore a code of ethics or personal ego.

The most important thing to note is that swordplay (swordplay) is not a "game". This is a serious matter related to how to draw a sword.

The sword was designed to kill, there was no purpose other than that. Treat the sword with respect as when you do it on a firearm. This way, others will also treat you with respect.

Continuing to be in a defensive position is only effective in a short time. In historic German fencing, keeping the opponent defensive is the best way for the person to be unable to attack. Use it carefully.

Do not let your sword slip.

One hit on the sword that was still in the air could make it come loose, which left you helpless. Keep the sword from falling apart unless you have more than one sword.

There is a chance that your body will be slashed or something else worse. Fighters who are afraid of having their skin scratched, tend to stay silent in the middle of the battlefield.

The greatest fighter is the one who never draws his sword. This meant that a sword fighter could only be compared to himself, and did not need to be tested to fight against others. More practically, if you are really involved in a sword fight, you better escape. The sword fight can get you killed, and you will definitely deal with the law (because it is illegal).

Puncture or incision along the 8 cm in the neck/face area can be fatal or make a person's power reduced by 80%. This means that the end result of the sword fight is: the "losing" side will die quickly, and the "winner" will die slowly. You are lucky if you can survive a sword fight without injury, and do not do it again in the future. If you are unlucky and injured, seek medical help immediately.
