Apparently you need more practice; tho I do admit that not all weapons are
good for everyone. There are some weapons that I can't use that others can.
I think the betleH is good against other betleH and straight sword.
To conclude, the ST Encyclopedia states that the betleH was designed by
martial-arts expert Dan Curry (so they say).
