Despite popular belief, combat with the long sword was a highly evolved, sophisticated art form. This was not a barbaric hack and slash form of combat, but a codified martial art which utilized all parts of the sword. It is surprising to find that attacks and defenses of the Long sword were fast, effective and extremely versatile. Evidence of this fighting form can be found in medieval fighting manuals found across Europe. The manuals detail two handed techniques, one handed techniques and moves that incorporated the use of the handle and guard as offensive weapons. The combat schools and manuals for the long sword lasted about 223 years before the Rapier eventually overtook the Long Sword.
