This session in literature, we are tasked to think and write about "What subject would like to learn in school that isn't offered at HHS [our school]?"; the subject that I would like to learn about is 'Swordsmanship'. I long have been interested in this form of 'fighting'; it started some years ago when I used to do martial arts, Taekwondo, Judo, Jujitsu and Arnis. Many might not know what 'Arnis', it is the national martial arts of my beloved country that is the Philippines. It is a form of martial arts, based fighting using knives, wooden sticks, bladed weapons and several various improvise weapons per se. That sparked my love for fighting as such, that has not been the only reason for my love of sword fighting; movies and animes that I have watched have inspired me and it made me interested in this art form. I would love to learn more and have a possible future for teaching and achieving mastery at being a martial artist, swordsman and a sharpshooter too. I have wanted to be a lot of think and be able to achieve many goals that I had and that I still have.
Hi Axle!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cool topic to learn about! I hadn't realized how many opportunities there could be for swordsmanship! This is a unique passion and I hope you have the opportunity to learn more. Why do you think this might be a difficult subject to teach in high schools?
