After a sparring, my hands always hurt from exhaustion because of the power of swords clashing (sometimes with sparks). If you want a really fast style, take a Seax and a buckler.@<span class="vcard"><a href="http://rainbowdash.net/user/11114" class="url" title="Chris"><span class="fn nickname">wafers</span></a></span> Epees are something completely different since you have a whole other way of defending and a very different legwork.

Those are useful in greater battles but for a Duel, they lack Flexibility and range. No turian would choose that :P A mangoes sword would be a typical duel weapon, but i just can't get any videos where the fighters don't hesitate to wrestle.@<span class="vcard"><a href="http://rainbowdash.net/user/11114" class="url" title="Chris"><span class="fn nickname">wafers</span></a></span> They use shields in a duel.
