This isn’t even remotely amusing.

Had a friend who trained with his brother who one day scoffed at the instructor on a certain self defense technique. Instructor gave him an ax handle and told him to bring it as he had his own club in hand. Then said wait a sec, for you I’m going to use this. Set down the club and picked up a kubotan(look it up). My friend never new what hit him, never underestimate the size of the weapon(s) involved. Sadly, this happened before cell phones. Tru story!

Was s story about the time a 5’, 150 lb fella kept challenging a 6’, 200 lb blacksmith to a duel. Kept it up day after day. The smith, finally tired of the constant natering, chose 40lb sledge hammers in 8’ of water. Duel was cancelled.

The duelist’s nightmare — a Freudian dream.

If he gets up close and personal, the short seax could best the two-handed claymore.

Each combatant in a duel is supposed to use an identical weapon, but other than that….

An equalizer.

Thought that the rules sort of implied similarly sized weapons.

Looks like someone brought knife to a sword fight.
