Where are the comments of "It's not useful in a real fight"??

[@duelinginbarcelona]

We’ll to be fair it’s more of a duel than a fight. A duel would have a pre determined rule set that both duelists agree to before hand. In our case we employ no cuts below the waist and no punching or grappling. What would be considered in Spanish to be “cuerpo a cuerpo”. A fight in town or encounter on the battlefield would be a lot more brutal with a lot less emphasis on honor and grace. More on quickly dispatching the foe or a lot more defensive. Protecting yourself as the officer and buying time for reenforcement while still issuing orders to your men. Thanks for commenting! ⚔️
