links for the fighty types

These have been piling up for a while, so I might as well put them all in one post:

• Guys in actual armor demonstrating how well you can move in it (I especially like the heel-kick)
• How does Thibault cancel out Capo Ferro (spoiler: it’s a lot less fancy than the movie would have you believe)
• Fact-checking fight-books: comparing historic injury patterns to strikes in modern European sword arts (the percentage breakdowns for different weapons are especially interesting)
