*wonders if Prip knows the technique of the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csMrmpNVnZ8]messerfecht barfighting technique[/url], AKA: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmLaZHStmI]German school of fencing[/url], it involves lots of grappling and a ridiculously heavy sword. Using the leverage and inertia of the sword, it was often possible to twist a person's arm off; getting the hilt to the face still meant a face-full of about ten to fifteen pounds of cold-steel performing blunt-force dental-work.

Well, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38sVdx7nzhQ]Langes-Messer[/url], technically it's a knife and not a sword due to how the handle is made (seriously, a minor technicality that meant they were literally [i]EVERYWHERE[/i]).

-Also, before I went blind I did quite a bit of archery-practice and shooting-instruction.
