Hey, I'm really glad I found this topic! One of many things that I really love about The Witcher is the great combat sequences! I could hunt Drowners all day, just because they go down so easily and I can spend my time studying Geralt's combat techniques... I have done some martial arts, and I'm really facinated with swords and sword techniques. I have studied quite a bit of chi gung, tai chi, push hands, and bagua. I haven't been able to get into the martial aspects as much as I would like as I have a pretty serious lung disease, but I have been feeling better with the use of a new drug, so I have hopes that some day I will be able to branch out more into martial arts and weapons. I have a couple of Chinese swords that I bought on e-bay, and a pair of elk-horn knives that are used in bagua. Neither of the swords are of a very high quality, but they are fun to play with. Some day I definitely want to learn a tai chi sword form. I would be really interested in learning some basic Medieval sword fighting techniques, but right now I am stuck in a rather rural area, and would have to travel to find anything. I used to live in New York City, where you can find almost anything, but that is no longer the case! If anyone knows any books, or even better, videos, to recommend that are good at explaining the basics, please let me know! I have seen a few on Amazon, and I'm thinking of buying one. Also, if anyone knows of teachers or schools in the US, I would be interested in knowing about them. I found one on line - but it was in South Africa. Just not close enough!Meanwhile, I'll continue trying to swing my sword around in my basement like Geralt... :-\
