At the same time I would learn to use that metal hand like swinging it like a mace or using the opening to hook swords when in close or in a bind.

    One of the things that is most impressive about Syrio is just how good of a teacher he is. He knows how to motivate Arya with a combination of seriousness and wit, never lets her become too frustrated, and always makes sure she know *why* they are doing something. A skilled teacher imparts a feeling of "I want to learn how to do that!" in a student.

    Agreed. In studying martial arts, a lot of it doesn't make sense to a beginner which can lead to intense frustration. "Why am I doing this?" Mixing in practical knowledge with rote muscle memorization can help immensely. It's one of the reasons the scene in the original Karate Kid "Daniel-san...show me...paint the fence!" resonated with so many Westerners, because they honestly didn't have the context to understand what Miyagi was doing or why; they just thought he was being an ass. But when they saw what it really was, it was a huge "A-ha!" moment that elevated the character for the rest of the movie.

    What's really cool is that in the books Arya has been getting closer and closer to actually landing a hit on Syrio, but when he goes full out on the Lannister soldiers, she realizes that he was just humoring her and building up her confidence. As good as this performance was, they would have needed to hire an Olympic gold medalist in foil, sabre, and épée who ALSO is a champion HEMA practitioner AND a gymnast to really encapsulate just how amazing a sword fighter Syrio Forell was.

  • @sporeceress1465

    Ned's reaction to their lesson is perfect. He always knew who Arya was, who she wanted to be. And he knew how horrible it could be. When he expressed his desire for her to be the lady of some castle, it wasn't disrespect or disregard, it was an experienced soldier who'd lost far too much that way trying to keep his daughter away from a life he no doubt wishes he could have kept away from if he could. Hence, the visceral PTSD.

    Edward Corran Well, Musashi never had to fight enemies in full plate armor. Syrio could have easily pick up a sword, but maybe the answer why he did not is quite simple. The westerosi longsword has probably not much to do with a Bravoosi sword. It is like offering a lumber axe to Musashi.

The Many Faced God is the central religion of Bravos, and Syrio probably just saw his very... practical teachings when he was First Sword of Bravos. Minus Arya, the Faceless Assassins abandon their name when they take up their service to the Many Faced God, and Syrio seemed very proud of his.

    I think it’s fair and logic that Syrio died at the beginning of the series. He taught Arya the first steps of fighting, but she had to learn that sometimes the simplest strong armor can help you survive against the best sword, and that was taught to her by his second master, The Hound. And his last master, Jaqen, taught her how to sneak and murder.

    When I was learning to type on a typewriter, our teacher taught us where the keys were and how to touch the right keys without looking at them. Syrio was Arya's typing teacher, giving her the foundation she needed for what was to come. It's a shame they never made an eighth season.

    Holy shit bro, it’s been like 5 years. Get over it, man. I read the first 4 books back in ‘07, then the 5th book when it came out. GRRM got that HBO money and completely stopped writing. The only reason the show was so good for the first 5 seasons was because they had some of the best books ever written as direct source material. If you want to blame anyone for why the show in your opinion went downhill, blame GRRM for selling out. It’s hard to keep the same quality when your writer completely bails on the series and they have to make do with just Hollywood writers. But at some point, stop the whining over the last few seasons. Appreciate what you got while you got it. And put the blame where it belongs.

And now that I think of it, she wasn't in danger because they would have the guard's head on a pike if he harmed Arya. Syrio might have realized the odds of defeating him were looking way too bad and he merely wanted his sacrifice to mean something by not letting him take her. He saved Arya's life, not even knowing the circumstances, he's the bravest man ever.
