"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I should start reading this stuff so I know what's being discussed.  The terminology just blows right over me.

I'm terrible with terminology too. I know my cuts and guards, and the rest just rattles around in my head.

I frustrate a lot of HEMAists because I use non-style specific describing language. I kinda know some Italian terms but I prefer modern English.

"Is that like an oberhau?" "Whats an oberhau?"

I enjoyed reading this blog and I appreciate the Armizare, Italian rapier and Vadi articles.  I even enjoy das Bill's article on the training methods.
