    Default How to use a Gladius in RL???

    I was in Italy for these past two weeks, and i bought a Pompeii Gladius. (didnt get to play EB but i was THERE!!!!) One of the things i wanted to do with it was Bring it to my Kung Fu Class and test it out vs the Chinese swords, but i dont really know how to use it.

    I know it was primarily a thrusting weapon, and i know how it was used to thrust, but i'm not familiar with any of the cuts or parrys that were used with it and i was wondewring if anybody knew more about them. I do remember somewhere someone said something about how legionaries were trained to cut with the gladius as well as stab, so i'm guessing somebody on here knows about this.

    (p.s. Its not sharp, so dont worry i'm not gonna kill nobody)

    Thanx in advance.

    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
