I like Domingo. He's a good guy. 20/10 would learn from him.

[-VINihilist-]

he broke the Geneva convention with that one

If you're not willing to fight dirty, either you're playing a sport or what you're fighting over isn't worth it.

"Offer your blade, as if you surrender. As your enemy is reaching to take it, kick him in his taint and call his mother a harlot"

Probably my favorite story related to street fencing is I believe if was fiore de liberi getting challenged to a dual, heading into an alley, turning around and accusing his opponent of bringing friends go the fight. When the guy turned around to look, fiore killed him.

A new journal was recently uncovered. It speaks about drawing your sword in reverse with the offhand to offer to the opponent. And then you shoot him point blank with the flintlock

[GeoShed]

I'm glad those things exist in older history. Fighting isn't always about honor. Honor doesn't always put food on the table, or keep your loved ones safe. If you have an advantage over an attacker, take it.

Domingo: well im gonna be the one to live soooo...wherever i decide it is when i write about it

A fencing teacher once told me "Fencing is the only martial art where we don't advocate for wisdom and restraint... This was made to stab whoever stands in front of you"

Edit: And yes attacking the groin is valid in some forms of fencing, I trained with an eepee and getting shanked in the groin is a totally valid move

In old school Tai Chi, one of the moves is quickly crouching, grabbing a handful of dirt and whipping it right at your opponent's face.

Gotta love it when your master's advice for winning a fight is comiting a war crime.
Ahsoka will relate

[rmkking]

I once asked my grandfather for fighting advice and he said “you don’t want to ask me for a dice unless you want to be arrested. When I was young I’m the kind of guy would just hit you in the knee with a bat.”

[drgonzo]

I prefer the “end him rightly method” of unscrewing the pommel to throw as a distraction before ending him rightly

[firefist]

A wise man once said “If you are ever in a fair fight your battle tactics suck”

[micopen]

I was very surprised and validated by a moment in my recent dive into some of Fiore's writings when he talks about certain gaurds and techniques for throwing your sword at the opponent.

[yaboispudpud]

Kicking someone's knees is also a splendid way of attitude adjusting. When you make someone walk like a flamingo, they rethink a lot of life choices.

"And today, kids we learn how to commit war crimes. Turn to chapter 12 in Domingo's manual."
