I don't know if this is something to be proud of

But I just got to the point where I could hold a two handed sword one handed and move it around like nothing.

Then I pick up my Cold Steel Hand And A Half and move that thing around like it was paper.

Progress (however small) is always something to be proud of.

Well, that surely couldn't hurt. Still, it's far better to be able to hit the other guy like a ton of bricks without getting hit than to flick a blade around like paper.

I'll say this though, if you can move it like a feather and all your basics are solid, you are on the right track!...

Of course, it's good. I fight one handed with a longsword quite frequently.

You can use more than one hand on a longsword?

[Max Lancaster]

I ment like a two handed sword. Not a Hand and a Half. Where you need two hands to hold it.
I think my gripping str. Has increased and lifting weights lol!

I go over blocks and strikes with a weighted pole and then add weights to it to increase str.

Then I move to a greatsword to bring down the weight and then move to the Hand and a Half.

Some of us maybe, not all of us have Goliath hands.

I have been working on some Longsword and buckler stuff here as of late(very interesting combination) and going to one hand, on a hand and a half sword using the off hand to push and grab and such, I find my sword hand the pinky portion of my hand get's tired if i do it too much though.

I know what you mean, Max. I was kidding.

Great! Pretty soon you'll be able to swing two 40 pound swords, and fight 4 level 15 fighters at once!

No really... thats pretty awesome.
