For example playing devils advocate is it a case of jack of all trades but master of none. As I mentioned today's society makes the knives redundant so the need to develop our swordsmanship skill is not as necessary. Compare this to a few hundered years ago when your skill meant this difference between life and death and so there would be more emphasis on its importance and thereby skills levels and knowldge of its use would be significantly higher.
