I'm currently learning historical European martial arts fencing; specifically, the English Backsword, based on the manual of George Silver, written in 1600.Originally posted by AznWaffle8:
BTW, by swordfighting, so you mean kendo, or something else?
Coolio. In a history book, they called kendo fencing. It was frustrating to hear it called that, since there's a big difference, and I broke myOriginally posted by Shiro_Kuro:

Heehee, I can just see an ad like that, with Jason doing stretches like those Wii-Fit ads they've had on lately... and then go straight into the intense hack-slash action! ^_^Originally posted by Bigburito:
(also Ubisoft should totally make a tutorial video using these stretching techniques to advertise the game!)
Come to think of it, a sword game using the balance board would be pretty awesome, too! Swordsmanship has a lot to do with balance, so something that promotes a good stance and lets you sway your body out of the way could be cool... Then again, with all the lunging about, I can see people falling off it. :P You'd really need a "Balance Mat" or something. DDR for footwork?

i cant tell you how many times my body tried to dodge a bullet or sword in ninja mode, and every time i started to block, i felt myself taking a wider stance.
this game is so involving, its tricked my body into thinking im fighting again, and the fact i havent done so in years is just even more amazing when i realized what id done.
