	Broadsword - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term broadsword is used to refer to different types of swords, depending on when the term is used, and on what period is being talked about.
		Later in this period, the term was applied to any broad-bladed military sword, including the sabre and the backsword, as opposed to the comparatively slimmer-bladed rapier, smallsword and épée; in the late 19th century, museum curators began to use the term retroactively to refer to the medieval arming sword, which remains the popular usage today.
		The Chinese Dao is sometimes erroniously translated as broadsword, although sabre is the correct translation.

	Dao (sword) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In China, the dao is known as one of the four major weapons, along with the spear, staff, and the sword, and referred to as "The Courage of All Soldiers".
		The dadao saw continued use, and during the Ming dynasty the large two-handed changdao and zhanmadao were used both against the cavalry of the northern steppes and the pirates of the southeast coast; these latter weapons would continue to see limited use during the Qing period.
		The Chinese spear and dao (liuyedao and yanmaodao) were commonly issued to infantry due to the expense of and relatively greater amount of training required for the effective use of Chinese straight sword, or jian.

	Broadswords
		The term "broadsword" is today popularly applied as a generic synonym for Medieval swords or freely used to refer for any long, wide military blade.
		The true "broadsword" can actually be defined as a sword with a wide, straight, double-edged blade used mostly by mounted troops from the 1700’s to 1800’s.
		"Broadsword" was therefore never a "classification" of any actual family or typifycation of any bladed Medieval weapon as it was in the case of others (i.e., warswords, epee du guerre, longe swerds/langenschwerter, grete-swerdes, grant espees, bastard swords/espee’ bastard, shorte-swords, arming swords, riding-sword, and Schlachtschwerter or twa-hand-swerdis).

		The principle distinction between the broadsword and the rapier is, that the latter is formed only for thrusting, while the former is adapted for cutting also.
		Indeed, those who use the broadsword are too apt to neglect the use of the point, and focus their attention almost exclusively to the cuts.
		Pause an instant, and send the sword smartly into the sheath removing both hands as the hilt strikes against the mouth of the scabbard: drop them to the side, with the palms outwards, and stand in the first position.

		The broadsword is actually a Victorian term coined for the primary edged weapon of the Medieval period (back then, they didn't think their blades were particularly broad).
		These varied in length from 3 feet - 5 feet and were held with a single handed grip, a hand and a half grip, or a two handed grip.
		For both historical accuracy as well as ease of combat choreography, most our broadswords are hand and a half weapons.
