: "Not killing strike, but would hurt for sure. Ursa want Princess to try something. First, hold axe with both hands near end of handle. Will want big, strong swings for that. After that, try keeping one hand just underneath blade. Should be more of a punch than anything else. As practice, keep track of how you must change distance to dummy with the different stances."
This was where axe-work got its subtlety. A sword was quick and precise, true, but with only a short hilt you were limited to fighting at a certain distance. A skilled axe fighter could quickly adjust to his or her advantage.
