"Fencing" technically encompasses all melee, but the sort Alexander excels at is "defending your civilian self from hooligans with your sidearm". Or, you know, being the hooligan in that situation, and/or ritual murder of your peers.

Is what I call it, but certainly not what they call it. 😅 They just say grappling. A modern person would see wrestling of some flavor.
Inspiration abounds. Sumo, Greco-Roman, Turkish Oil... 🧵 1/3

Though Enclosure has numerous cultures, I will continue to focus on the Redwoods and the people inhabiting the longhouses therein, who are primarily tukhé (Neanderthals).
In short - aggression is ritualized. 1/4

My month was a roller coaster that went mostly downhill until exploding spectacularly.
Gonna have to spend the rest of the year picking up the pieces.
Trying to focus on the silver lining, but even that is stressful.
Looking forward to #FightClubNov and to winter writing projects.

The Elves don't call their style anything. They are tall and strong so mostly use long swords and broadswords.
The humans have curved swords and dont have a name for their style either.
(The Elves would call it fighting dirty).
In the real world they come from British and Japanese.

But it's a heightened, colorful, fairytale-like 1660s Stuart Restoration world! The hero is a nobleman at a time when…

Lumina is a vast world with quite a few different cultures (Beeslingers is the Wild West; TNS is Belle Epoque Europe), but zizzun tend to be pretty consistent about fighting.
Namely, for the most part . . . (1/5)

I don't really have 'styles' in my book? It's mostly just swashbuckling swordsmanship, and/or clockwork mecha beating on each other. I guess I could bring up various fencing schools and techniques, but it's not that kind of story.

One is classic HEMA with a shortsword (broad) and polearms. The other is closer to Kali.
I am starting HEMA in January (only shortsword). I used to do lightsaber choreography.

No name, but all Mercies carry a long-sword called a godsword, which is infused with magical energy linking them to their patron god. Below are some of my MC's weapons he keeps on his person. 🧵

Nope. Absolutely nothing for real-world experience in combat, much as I wish otherwise.
As for real-world inspirations ... Jeet Kune Do is the one that I feel speaks to me the most, in terms of extant fighting styles.

Oh hey, just noticed this! But hey, I'm Niki~ And I'm working on an epic science fantasy based on jRPGs like Tales and Final Fantasy, so yeah--there's tons of fighting. With monsters present and the whole battle against the demon lord and his lackies, fighting's common enough~

Hi! I'm Anna.
This will prompt will be about my books The Assassins Raven and The Kings Raven.
The Elves all have swords, and also learn other disciplines like archery. Swords are part of their culture, and they are taught from a young age how to handle a weapon.

Practitioners begin with a wooden staff, simple but consistently ranked among the best weapons. Later, they gain access🧵
