I have been trying to fathom out how exactly one winds up a sword expert, please do elaborate as I'm intrigued

*Sigh* don't get me started on this! Oops, too late!!
I know,its always fun when people ask "so what do you do"He has been training since he was a kid and is an expert on Rapier(the kind of sword you see in zorro) He writes books,runs a few sword schools and demonstrates all over the place.

As for british lawmaking at the moment its all about winning votes by pretending to have a tough stance.This sword legistaion is a joke as anyone who can show they need a sword (dancers,martail artists,actors,reenactors etc) will still be able to buy them with insurance and proof of asome kind.Existing swords are not being registered so there is no deterent to people buying from friends.Therefore anyone with half a brain can probably circumvent this bill.
But I guess it looked really good on paper
