There was a program on Netflix called "Reclaiming The Blade" that discussed how western civilization departed from swordsmanship and such with advent of gun powder, much more so than the eastern world. The show discussed how swords have always been kept alive by Hollywood and the theater. The Lord of the Rings movies have really played a major role in the renewed interest in swordplay in recent years.
Now it seems there are western martial art schools throughout Europe which focus on the bladed weapons, arts and tactics of old. I thought it was an interesting show. I'd like to see someone do more with this.
