Greetings all. Joined a couple of months ago and have
greatly enjoyed CF discussions and information. I
notice that very often someone remarks "if we were
doing this for real" or "in a real duelling situation,
would the duellist...". I am a film researcher and
today taped a couple of duels in France, one in 1938
and the other in 1958 (this one had sound). Although
the total time for each is only a couple of minutes,
you can see the fighting stances and the
attack-and-defense play. Both duels end with a wound.
I would be glad to send a copy on VHS or Mini-DV to
any CF person-naturally without any charge except for
the tape and shipping. You can see for yourself what
the duellists did! The duels were circulated by
Universal Newsfilms and are public domain. Let me
know. Ray
