I just wanna updata a little bit more here!
I have been doing some looking at different blades of the type we categorise as Spathae and would like to revise my earlier opinions a bit. There is hundreds of diffrent blades hock: hock: hock: . some of them look like hack´n slash monsters and others are pure stabbers like roman rapiers. So I have to say that the style of fighting has to have been as diverse as there is types of Spathae blades.
Is there any typology on the pre-medieval blades simillar to Oakeshotts ?
It would help alot if there where, to explaine some diffrent movements and attacs I have found with our wooden simulatiors we have made of the diffrent blades.
