Greetings, I am Ryan, white rope swordfighter, and warrior for the Western Circle. I am the only left-handed, two-weapon fighter in the circle as of yet, which lends it's self to intense training and unique challenges. I fight with two scimitars made by Gad; they are fast and effective blades. If asked I would have to say that my favorite training would have to be the dagger fights, there is nothing on this earth that can prepare you for those brutal close quarters matches. The sword teaches you much about yourself, and I feel that by learning this ancient and honorable art that I have begun to better myself in countless ways. My goal is to one-day rise to the noble rank of kaiden and to look out onto the field of battle and to see students I have instructed, enjoying themselves as much as I am now. To know ones opponent is intelligence To know ones self is true wisdom To control ones opponent is strength To control ones self is true power Ne cede malice
