User blog comment:Leolab/Ancient User Tourney, Round 2: Oliver Moreau (Winter) v Sir Bors of Newcastle (Elgb)/@comment-4661256-20160526193432/@comment-422690-20160526234423

They are copy-pasted exactly. Winter gives it in one single easily-overlooked sentence which is, yes, a bit of a disappointing cop-out but it is there. Quoted below:

Further, while Moreau's comabt style is a motley of different ones, they are actually all very similar. Middle-eastern/east-asian martial arts have a similar originator - namely the ancient Indian martial art known as Gatka - and thus have similar concepts and footwork.

And my point about the Katars is meant to point out that even an inexperienced user is capable of doing a large amount of damage with it. And as for your "it's just one weapon" point, I'd like to present a counterpoint of the Twin Hooks from Shaolin Monk v Maori; even if it's just one weapon, if it's well-suited to the situation it can make up for lacking in everything else.

Finally, anyone who is even moderately familiar with a katar will know that it really shines as an armor penetration tool. Even with a novice's grasp of the weapons in his arsenal, he will know that the best available tool for this match is the katar, and will likely learn such once his first couple swipes with the naginata are deflected by Bors' armor.
