Military Essays I: What makes an expert Swordsman? There are three types of swordsmen: the beginners, the bravados and the masters. If you have already learned the basic techniques you can easily distinguish the beginners from the experts. A beginner does not know how to hold a sword properly and his fighting stance is completely unbalanced. The bravados are versed in the arts of sword fighting but they reveal their knowledge merely through exhibition. You can find many bravados at fairs where they demonstrate their skills in front of the excited masses. A real sword master is a mentor who travels from town to town to teach his skills but he will always hide his best tricks. A true sword master will teach you everything you know... not everything he knows.
