As far as martial arts weapons vs. swords, I can only think of one that proved effective against a sword with any reasonable frequency - the staff. According to one Japanese expert, 'a man skilled with a staff could easily defeat a swordsman',[/quote]
Musashi, the great 16th Century Japanese swordman fought over sixty duels and was defeated only once: by the innovator of the short staff.
