Personally I have Taken much pleasure in the terms, already growing in 
popularity, Chivalric and Duello Combat, although If i really work at it I
sure I can find that period manuscript that uses the term Real fighting for
something like heavy weapons and calls light weapons something like
"assinine foolishnes suitible only for killing your friends and countrymen
in back allyways and spiting chickens before roasting" but it's a bit long
to fall into normal parlayance although I kind of like "Real Fighting" ... :)
