[quote=@AirBender][@Shorticus] The way you fight with a katana is way different than most swords, trust me, I've trained with one. Then again, you could say that about every sword. I do think spears, naginatas, and other weapons that are a stick with a pointy end, are more useful though. Especially against men on horseback. I love how this has gone from bitching about our RP problems to a conversation about weaponry from the late 1500s early 1600s. [/quote] I'd love to try using katana eventually myself, along with a host of other weapons I'll probably never have the opportunity to touch. I've mostly watched videos on fighting of different styles, and I've barely practiced with any weapon, so I'll accept you probably (definitely) know more than me on how the katana is used. (If you know of any good videos on the topic, please let me know!) And yeah, medieval weapons always get my attention.
