You didn't at least check out the Savate VS BOxing and how wrestling styles went opposite directions in France and UK hav eyou? I thought you're into history? SHouldn't that invite your conversation? ANd wow I'm so amazed you still didn't bother giving a reply on the HEMA stereotypes thread. BTW check out Victor BO, some of Maria Felix's action flicks, and other classic Latino cinema. It demolishes your claims.
Also for all your cherrypicking (esp you ignored actual source I linked directly from Barton-Wright and other folks) and especially for someone with a fencing avatar, I find it rather disconcerting and even outright hypocritical you never responded to my HEMA question I posted back in December. If you really are intelligent as you think you are, why did you never answer that? I thought you are into historical stuff?
