Excellent point. Perhaps the double saber/sword use could also spill over into non military duels.
I’m more familiar with the Chinese’s paired knives/sabers, and haven’t really seen much of the Thai styles. But yes, showmanship and street performances are a much different animal than battle skills. Good point. Thank you.
