ARMA

I learned that the people from the middle ages made sure to write down every thing about their lives that they felt was impotent. It is because of this writings that we are able to learn and copy the ancient art of sword fighting. the first type of sword like weapon was a staff that developed into the the spear, and later the short sword. after some time the technic for making swords became more advanced and the short one handed sword turned into the longer omre deadly two handed sword. the long sword was to long to cary around in towns and at partys so the colichemarde-styled short sword. soon the art of sword fighting was left behind by the rich nobles and the rapier was made to make fights between two nights shorter. this turned into the modern day style of sparing were you fight to the first blood reather then to the death as it was in the middle ages.
