Aquilonia. We are known throughout all of western bel as a small but elite group. All the best fighters come out of our chapter but go on to be Urukhai legends in other chapters.
Unlike kendo and other competition or recreational societies combat Belegarth/Dagorhir is all functional combat in as real of a scenario as it gets. This difference of form over function is what decimates kendo fighters. Their muscle memory is to respond a specific way to a certain blow thrown a certain way with certain body mechanics. In Bel you learn to watch the body to see what the shot possibility could be and learn blocks/parries that actually WORK to open shots.
Kendo is too dedicated to itself and competition to be used functionally on a real battlefield. HEMA is bad for the reason of recreation. Sure it's historically accurate but is it effective? 9/10 times it's not and the accepted standard form is the best.
With a decade as a medieval combatant that still regularly takes on HEMA and other recreation society retards in both armored and unarmored combat I can say with 100% certainty that I can wreck 80% of the opponents that would draw on me in medieval combat.
>>8449027>Things.. happen.Oh no. No they don't. People take action to make them happen. Some people are shitty and skulk around in the dark with a nice comfy blanket of lies.
I don't hate you. Doesn't mean I like you. Doesn't mean I'm going to be a shit ass to you either.
Maybe yall should think next time.
