Ancient Noldorin Combat Manual:

"If ever you find yourself unarmed, do not forget you still have your armour. Use it to your advantage. Lure the enemy in with the promise of an easy kill, wait for an opening and strike like thunder, swift and powerful."

Thoughts of the experienced fighter:

„Weapons can get lost in the chaos of battle. Without a weapon, closing the distance is a way of survival. Wrestle your opponent, manipulate his balance and throw him in order to break his neck or spine.“
