Re: Martial Arts
The hand gloves, do you mean Cestis? Also, The reason why I say it is a basic weapon, because it is considered a basic form when learned. When you learn the staff, it branches off into the wide range of the Butterfly Form of the Sword and other forms of the sword. Also, when you mean blades do you mean Sabers and such? Sword just widely ranges into other long bladed weapons. What I am trying to say is, that sword is a category not a weapon. Like if you ask someone, which Martial Arts do you take? Not do you take Kun-Fu and Martial arts? The person who asks that is completely clueless. Also, I know in the olden times or era, they used various weapons, but it started with Pitch Forks and farm tools before they became real weapons then people started learning techniques for them and the staff was of the most basic since they do not require much or no money and can be made within a minutes. Also, Just like learning to do math, you must know the basic forms of it, such as + - / *. They are all basic things to remember correct? But later on you will learn how to use them in various ways, even using numbers to make pictures, such as in Physics. Same as the staff, there are more than on weapon that is basic to learn to go on to another weaponary, Sword is more of an intermediate weaponary, if you are going to take a weapons class most of them require you to have some prerequisite of some sort and being able to be flexible enough.
