Just about all we hear about here is regarding MMA, actors, wannabe ninjas, pretend martial artists who claim to punch out throats and break bones on a regular basis and Asian styles and so precious little about European styles, or WMA.
Now, I do not seek any answers along the lines of "All they did is hack and slash" or "Only Asia ever develloped martial arts" kind of answers.
I mean, who here could give me a comparative opinion on the swordsmanship styles thought by Fiore dei Liberi and Johannes Lichtenhauer? Or a commentary on Plate 226 in Mark Rector's translation of Talhoffer fechtbuch? Or their opinion regarding interpretation of the plates in MS I:33? These are martial arts style as valid as anything from any Asian country, after all.
