Do not draw any weapon, at all, ever, unless you intend to draw blood (Excepting frearms). If you
do not know how to use a weapon and someone agrees to teach you form, change the finepoints of what they teach you and establish
your own method of use. This is done because there should always be a personality to your fighting. There should be individuality
in how you present yourself with your Arms. Do not become someone's exact double on the battlefied, or you will be lost, as
will your line. Always keep learning new tricks. Always learn the signs and gestures that advertise your country's fighting
styles. Always learn the tell-tale signs that will inform ou when an opponent is about to strike. If a weapon is drawn to
be sharpened, or fixed, or serviced in any way, blood must still be drawn, even if it is only your own. Do not give empty
threat; do not be a coward; draw no weapon unless you fully intend to use it. If a weapon is to be used to take the life of
your companion, and you defeat the wielder, do not use the weapon, if it succeeded. If it did not, take and put it away until
there is no other choice. Should a man lend you a weapon, never give it back to him. Your own evil, in the manner of
killing, should never be his to bear. Buy him another of watever he leant you. If you give him his original weapon back, you
are wishing ill on him and his family as long as they are in possession of the weapon. The evil in the weapon will cause him
to kill again and again as a result of bearing the guilt in the weapon that is not his. If a man buys you a knife, you must
never let him borrow it. If a man must borrow a knife from you, make it one never used, and never ask for it to be
returned. Never give away so many weapons that you have none of your own to defend yourself If you must defend yourself, and
you end up taking a life, you must personally take a piece of the man or his clothing with you. (Jewelry counts). It is best
if possible if you can also see to the disposal of the body yourself.
