interesting always wanted to learn the proper technique to wield these swords i make, alas, there is no one to learn from so i had to read the books from duelist of old, thibault, meyer, fiore, talhoffer, destreza. still it's not the same as having a proper teacher and someone to spare with. by the way, this has taught me many things about sword making, trying to wield them and from reading these books. currently using a mixed method of sword making based on the teaching from these books, about the proportions, weight, length etc. petter johnson made a good study and book about it.  funny, my friends think i am just making some cool designs when drawing a sword but it's all about proportions, like the vitruvian man.
