R. I. P. Wazull

 Today I have learned that an old-old online opponent, Wazull passed away in May. He was just 52 years old... How sad...

 Wazull had been practicing kendo since around the early 90s and for many years was the very active member of Hungarian online community, especially on the biggest local forum called Harcművészetek (Martial Arts). He wrote at least 7588 posts in total, including 5805 posts dedicated to the different aspects of martial arts, especially Japanese swordsmanship, including kendo.

 Back in 2008-2009 we had rather heated discussions about fencing, about HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts), about the possibility to reconstruct these lost arts based on available medieval books, on the quality of fencing displayed by European HEMA-enthusiasts around that time. He was a relentless, learned, highly intelligent and skilled debater, who -- occasionally -- came across as rather sarcastic or even arrogant. Despite of this he left behind a huge amount of interesting and valuable posts!
