When you swing a sword or any object from up top to down stroke, and then stop it or it is stopped, the vibration should connect through your arms and sink/damp itself in your hips and feet (not knees, that joint is not good for absorbing force past a minimum).
Some part of the vibration is just because it is light spring steel pseudo forged to look like a sword but generally prioritizes flexibility and lack of shattering. A correct technique stop should have the least amount of vibration, as most of the potential and kinetic force is sinking into the group, with no resistance from the shoulders or muscles.
This is the difference between "muscle/external" based techniques of control/cutting and the "internal" based techniques. It's a different engine.
If people cannot do that, then those disarms that rely on vibration and torsion twisting, tend to be very effective.
Also, this would be a good theme song for Alt Right and Trum supporters, as they tend to get into a lot of fights with "women". Rosie O Donnel, or if she doesn't count, Megyn Kelly.
Conan seems to be part Shadow Warrior and part Epic Hero/King. There's a lot of archetypes mixed up there. He's like the Akashic Record distillation of the Norse. From the beginning to the Christian conversion, to modern day feminism in Norway/Sweden/Denmark.
The ‘lamentations of the women’ bit is actually a quite from Genghis Khan repurposed for Conan. But it has a Classical antecedent too: A set of lamentations by women is one of the criteria for an Ancient Greek poem to be considered an epic.
So however much the line sounds crass, it’s a well-founded addition to the film.
A set of lamentations by women is one of the criteria for an Ancient Greek poem to be considered an epic.
Which is why Alpha Game Alt Right glorifies itself upon the lamentations of people on twitter and social media. They feel like they aren't "hardcore dominating" unless people are complaining about it, especially Leftist women, who they target mostly because women are more vulnerable to hostile energies on an emotional level.
Men are sensitive to what their social group thinks of them, but far less sensitive of those "Others".
Trum may be the perfect example. When Rosie O'Donnel said that Trum was probably her worst example of national level bullying, and wanted Trum to go away, Trum replied "remember you started it".
This is like Andrew Breitbart's punch back 1000 times. If the foe is crying about it, that means the hit was good.
The Greeks are... well, they corrupted the scriptures and their understanding of things was little better than the Romans.
There's also some serious doubt about the Epic of Homer's authenticity, given the lack of dated originals. Document wise, the New Testament books had a lot more copies that were dated earlier or rather closer to the life of the authors and events.
I do further declare that the doctrine of the churches of England and Scotland, of the Calvinists, Huguenots and others of the name Protestants or Liberals to be damnable and they themselves damned who will not forsake the same.
I do further declare, that I will help, assist, and advise all or any of his Holiness' agents in any place wherever I shall be, in Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, England, Ireland or America, or in any other Kingdom or territory I shall come to, and do my uttermost to extirpate the heretical Protestants or Liberals' doctrines and to destroy all their pretended powers, regal or otherwise.
I do further promise and declare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed with, to assume my religion heretical, for the propaganda of the Mother Church's interest, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they may entrust me and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing or circumstance whatever; but to execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge or discovered unto me, by you, my ghostly father, or any of this sacred covenant.
I do further promise and declare, that I will have no opinion or will of my own, or any mental reservation whatever, even as a corpse or cadaver (perinde ac cadaver), but will unhesitatingly obey each and every command that I may receive from my superiors in the Militia of the Pope and of Jesus Christ.
That I may go to any part of the world withersoever I may be sent, to the frozen regions of the North, the burning sands of the desert of Africa, or the jungles of India, to the centers of civilization of Europe, or to the wild haunts of the barbarous savages of America, without murmuring or repining, and will be submissive in all things whatsoever communicated to me.
I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their infants' heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their execrable race. That when the same cannot be done openly, I will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.-Oath of membership in the Society
Yea, Romans and Spanish, not much better. The usual targeting of women is mostly a logistical but also a terror weapon. They are hitting the undefended or rather the unhardened spots. This may be good tactics but horrible for the elohim that use Earth as a spiritual cultivation area. They spawn in and suddenly that happens. Right, and then they get stuck in the cycle of revenge and forget what the whole spirit was about.
You do know that this "Jesuit oath" is made up, right? Jesuits were and are not ninjas. Sheesh.
(All the ninja converts joined the Third Order Franciscans, dude. It's a known fact. Or at least a well-informed speculation based on names and hometowns of Japanese martyrs.)
Also the Councils of the Elders of Zion are fake, btw. Just in case we need to clarify.
It was very funny. You could fit the tune and the style into any popular musical of the last 30 years without a bobble, right off the usual conveyor belt. Also funny because the real music of Conan is unusually interesting and memorable, not this generic stuff.

The Ancient Greek "might makes right" ethic, is why Socrates and Plato started doing their own thing.
How that ended up with Aristotle's student that conquered the Known World via Might Makes Right is.... well, predictable.

Hey all that aside, this was pretty funny. Robot-Chicken worthy.
