"Two-handed weapons are unrealistic"

Hang on there. This is wrong on so many levels, historically, mechanically, etc. and I am going to go over as much as I can without stopping.

Let's start with something simple to grasp: the fact that two-handed weapons historically existed and were used. From claymores and greatswords in the west, to halberds, pikes, the Japanese katana and various long spears, literally every form of bow, these were all used. The longsword is HEMA's big time weapon to train with and it's primarily used with two hands. Long spears require two hands. Two-handed weapons were at least as common as one-handed arms historically, if not more, especially once heavier armor comes into play.

And in terms of a high fantasy game, banning two-handed weapons for being unrealistic (which they're not) is such a ridiculous notion I can't even start. You have wizards throwing fireballs and druids shapeshifting into animals. You're going to look at someone with a straight face and tell them that's fine, but tell someone else that their fighter can't use a claymore?
And furthermore, banning two-handed weapons takes out a good chunk of a martial class's repertoire. He can't use halberds now; he can't use roughly half the swords that exist, nor can he use most other polearms, certain exotic weapons, etc.
And what about bows? Bows are two-handed. Are you going to look at the ranger and say that he can't use fucking bows now?

In conclusion, here's some videos of martial artists sparring using two-handed weapons.

Apologies again for the misconception. Please see the last post, specifically number 4.
Thank you for the evidence though!
