I found this short story of a sword duel and thought it to be interesting.
http://home.att.net/~hofhine/Samurai.htmlIt's like a story from a movie! Hard to believe it was real!!Fun read. Makes me remember why I think that people who romanticize about being samurai or whatever are completely nuts though... what a waste of life over nothing.Did the rounin by any chance have red hair and a scar formed like an X?
Seriously, nice story though, allways nice to read.Simply put:
Wow...Awesome read! Are there more of these non-fiction stories about duels?
Aldo Nadi (http://fencersquarterly.com/review4.htm), the famous early 20th Century fencer, actually got into a duel with sharp epees. Read about it here. (http://nadi.calpoly.edu/%7Efencing/Documentation/historical/nadi.html)
He da*n near killed the guy.Both of them drank champagne afterwards...
Yeah drink after not before the duel.Yeah drink after not before the duel.
Bi-ru-geiko: Both kendoka in ai-jyoudan, right hand is used to hold a mug of beer. Let your imagination work from there...No drinking and duelling kids :old_man: ,unless you've mastered the drunken kamae that is.that was pretty interesting. im guessing it took place before the meiji era.Aldo Nadi (http://fencersquarterly.com/review4.htm), the famous early 20th Century fencer, actually got into a duel with sharp epees.

Amazing... Simply amazing. At the start I thought Aldo would lose since he was holding back (he did not want to kill his opponent).
Both of them drank champagne afterwards...Awesome read! Are there more of these non-fiction stories about duels?thats really facinating,,, you always hear stories about insulted samurai's randomly beheading people and improptu duels in the street between two challengers, they have such a mystical and romantic feel about them..#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
