    Elven Swordsmanship 101

    Posted by Sterling Coleman on 1/17/2001, 1:49 pm , in reply to "Re: Enter the Psilorabbit or The March Hare"

    "Sure we are," mentioned Sterling rising to his feet. "You're eager to learn, Heidi, I like that! But first I have to warn you that I will be teaching you the Elven style of swordsmanship which involves a heavy reliance upon speed and skill as opposed to the Human styles of swordsamnship which largely revolve around strength and skill. While I am familiar with the Human styles of fighting, I think you would be better served learning the Elven style considering your height, weight, and general overall build."

    Drawing Evenflow from its sheath, the Drow Swordsman said, "Lesson Number One: Become one with your blade! Your sword is an extension of yourself and an extension of your will! As you know yourself, so you should know your blade! Study it! Learn it! Know its strengths and weaknesses! Once you know your blade's strengths--exploit them! Once you know your blades's weaknesses--compensate for them! As much as you learn about your blade, you will also find that you learn much about yourself as well! Now let's start with stance, posture, and holding the weapon."

    And with that, the teacher began to train his student in the ways of the sword.
