One of the favorite weapons over the years, is the sword.
Varying in size and shape, they come in many forms. While anyone
who picks up a sword for the first time may be able to swing
it back and forth, it takes much practice in order to wield 
a blade with true skill. Much of the art called swordsmanship
is made up of discipline. Executing the same movements smoothly,
and fluidly over and over again are what give a real blademaster
his edge. A true master can take his sword, and swing with 
only a bit of effort, and slice his foe in half, while a 
beginner may swing with all his might, and not even penetrate
his foes outer skin.
