What the craziest weapon match-up you can think of?
Maybe we'll make it happen...

This fight was a lot of fun, Elliot is pretty new to our class, so what better way to let him know we like to have fun, than a ridiculous weapon match up.
This was at the very end of the night after we'd all got plenty of more serious sparring in (With proper weapon match-ups).

The Nunchucks (Which I've since conveniently managed to break training at home...) were a very weird weapon to play with. I'd never really considered them a weapon at all. But surprisingly they weren't totally useless. They we pretty useless, just not completely.

Of course they move quickly and very unpredictably, which confused my opponent, but I think they equally confused me too.

Obviously the longsword is a strong and nimble weapon, so I didn't have much room for error on my part. Which was unfortunately, because I made A LOT of errors.

I did manage a few doubles and a couple of clean hits!
But then there's the argument of how lethal a set of nun-chucks would actually be in the firstp lace...

All in all, a lot of fun!
