    "Everyone thinks differently from everyone else, so he behaves differently in combat"
    -Joachim Meyer, Kunst des Fechten, 1570
    "For as we are not all of a single nature, so we also cannot have a single style in combat,
    yet all must nonetheless arise and be derived from a single basis."

    -Joachim Meyer, Kunst des Fechten, 1570
    "Who despises me and my praiseworthy craft, I'll hit on the head that it resounds in his heart."
    --Augustin Staidt, Federfechter

    "The Truth in Combat is different for each individual....
    Truth lies outside of All Fixed Patterns."
