Thank you very much all of you - I'd looked for information like this for quite a while and I was quite stumped!

Question

Am I crazy, or did someone once post about dual-wielding pata (gauntlet swords)? I have this mental image of someone windmilling through a battlefield like a lawn mower.

Default Ni Ten

Hi All,
There is also Myamoto Musashi (aka Ni Ten or two heavens) who developed a fighting style that used the katana and wakizashi simultaneously.
Sincerely,
RobT

There is also a description of arab/turkish furusiyya, a page from the 14th century manual describes dual sword cuts from horseback:

Sinawali done with pata. Now that would be worth seeing

I have since found out the names of a couple of the Japanese styles that use 2 swords

Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu and Yagyu Shinkage Ryu

S.Al-Anizi thanks for that link
