William--
I believe that 'fencing' is the stylized one with
lots of silly rules. Maybe you mean 'sword fighting'?
Yup. Anything involved with staying alive aint fencing.
It's not clear to me that having more flexible arms
would make much difference to sword fighting style.
If one wants to really cut the other, one tends to
have the arm extended, meaning it's straight.
My thoughts were: The more types of attacts, the more
one has to learn defence, so becoming a master swords-
man would be that much more difficult, and to a human
audience, that much more impressive.
Sc’ le pied. L'assaut de scorpion par le pied.
Overhead attack.of toehook to face or throatsac.
By blocking or locking opponent's sword arm.
Having that extra length and joint might make
a deadly attact of stepping past your opponent's
blade to thrust with your sword behind your own
back.
....I think I need a lot of play-dough and pipe
cleaners.
