John, You should check out this parellel thread here: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=5796 I personally have no problems with the idea of using two weapons. I consider a shield to be a weapon. And yes, I do fence with rapier and dagger. What I've actually said was that the use of two swords isn't very practical outside of a duelling setting. |
I agree with you.
A shield is a weapon, and one that I train with and would prefer to have in battle.
They just were not always common or available in some cultural/historical contexts.
That is a good thread, BTW.
Read it a while back.
