The video I'm responding to:
"Why Some Swords Had BLUNT TIPS - DON'T Stick 'Em With The Pointy End!" by ‪@scholagladiatoria‬
Why Some Swords Had BLUNT TIPS - DON'...

Why did some blades have a rounded or even square tip? Is there a good reason for a design that takes away thrusts as a viable option in armed combat? Matt Easton has one explanation, I have a different one. Let's discuss and see what you folks think.

Would be interesting to know what ‪@DaMonStith‬ has to say about the blade shape of the Takouba. Were thrusts commonly taught with this type of sword?

I tried to keep "pointless" puns to a minimum but may not have entirely succeeded. :)
