Actual there are many manual on ancient greek fighting, since most of it was used in there sports, sword fighting was not taught in greece, as it was not deemed as anyhting special, one famous greek philosopher (don't remmeber his name) said sword fighting should be like walking. which explains why the greeks sword fighting looks the way it does, as for the film brad's style was made up, i know the fight cordinator, and they had to make him look good on a par with tom cruise in the last samurai(not saying they were going for that just thats what it looked like) there a book out there about the history of the sword and thats where i get this info about greek sword fighting from, i reall don't remmeber the name of the book but i'll look through my library tonight and post it tom. later
