Of all weapons, few stand to symbolize the power of martial arts better than that of the sword – not a tool repurposed, nor something with any form of function other than to defeat your enemy. Wielding such a weapon in your hands, you brave the battlefield with only your courage and your blade, seeking to swiftly vanquish your foes.
