Since you have practiced fencing, you might be interested in studying at an ATT (American Tire Tool) dojo. We generally drink a few beers, then either beat on each other with our tire tools, or go find some geeks to beat up for practice. Our dojo held an initial advanced class in American poleaxe hachetry, but the defensive sparring suit didn't work very well (sorry, Chuck, hope you get out of the hospital soon). American medicine is really the best in the world: they can re-attach entire _limbs_ these day! Honestly, this discussion is inappropriate for HN and went downhill from the get-go. It's a question that dozens of other more appropriate forums have discussed ad nauseum.
