"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

This was a bonus feature on the Reclaiming the Blade DVD, which was somewhat hokey but interesting enough to be worth a library view. Basically it was half about swords in the cinema and half about the resurgence of interest in Western martial arts.

Anyways, I thought this was interesting conceptually.
