My statement is based upon resurrecting a past fighting style where the only ting that remained was a long sword. Not like they had videos to watch and see how it used to be done.....

well then of course it is not being done "correctly", as no one is being dismembered or killed.

This not true. I watched "A Knight's Tale" the other night and long swords were a part of tournament competition. Did you know they also danced David Bowie?
