Spartans are superior to ninjas.

Thank you Con for wanting to debate with me. And sorry to take so long before writing back, couldn't get back to a computer. The only one i can get to is at school, alternative school. I will be explaining how eficient their armor is, their weapons list, how they fight, where they are form as well. I expect my opponent to do the same. Sparta was one of the most efficient and strongest of the Leading Greek city states in its time. The Spartans were highly organised and their land based army was almost untouchable, both in its battle skills and it's mastery of warfare tactics and fighting. At a young age the soon to be Spartan warrior would be taken from their home, this was usually at around six or seven years old. The young Spartan's would then be trained with battle as their primary purpose in life, trained to be ready for any war or fight. Additionally it is both alleged that they were taught to read and write and also conflicting stories say that they weren't, but regardless it would have been a tough upbringing, allegedly encouraged to steal, but not to be caught, the young Spartans would be provided with basic food and clothing needed to survive but nothing more. When the young Spartans reached twelve, their training would be increased dramatically with more discipline and training introduced. Extra work and tasks were often delegated to the young Spartans of this age. Later when they had matured at age twenty, they were considered by the state to be full warriors and deemed ready to join the Spartan army. Once the Spartan warrior joined the army they would become almost brothers with the group of men who they trained with. They were recognized as one of the Spartan's, called ‘Hoplites' and now they were forbidden to work in any monetary fashion. When the Spartan reached thirty years old, they would be given a plot of land and this would be farmed for the Spartan warrior by one of the state slaves. The produce grown from the land would allow the Spartan to eat and survive for the rest of his life. Weapons and armour of the Spartan Army Like a lot of amides, the equipment of the Spartan warriors has had variations and changes throughout the periods they existed. The most well known of these looks would undoubtedly be the Persian war outfit made famous by the graphic novel 300. While Spartans were great fighters this would mean body armour would not be as essential as with other warriors, but regardless of this they did not skimp. The Spartan warriors armour did change over time but they would usually have a chest plate to protect themselves from melee attacks to their torsos, bronze cuirasses, Leg greaves and a helmet most typically in the Corinthian style. Weaponry would consist of a spear know as a Dory, which was very large and rather unwieldy, the Spartans however were more skilled at using than their opponents were with lesser weapons. The Spartan warriors would also carry short sword which was used for stabbing when in close quarters. For defence they would carry a hoplite shield known as an Aspis, this would big enough for them to carry a wounded comrade in and would require great strength to use effectively in the battle, fortunately the Spartans always possessed this. http://www.legendsandchronicles.com... To be very clear the armor that they had only covered the front of their bodies, not the back. But that was not much of an issue for the spartan warriors for they never retreated. Either that or you would have to get around them somehow. Their bronze armor shields were very large in size, when used properlly in defense, covers most of the body. The spartan shield doubled as deffensive and an offensive item in battle. When used on a straight forward attack(such as an outward swing) would without a doubt knock the enemy flat on their back. Making them open for attack. Or to be used as a direct side swing using the edge to strike at the head of the enemy. The spartan shield generates the same power in movement as the same as a car crash. The spartan's Corinthian style helmet has a viewing range of about 1-2 inches. Making it difficult to see, and the enemy, the ninja, A vary small striking area. These spartans are no pushovers in war. They are fearless, honorable, and they never take loss as an acceptable option. They are heavily armored, however the ninja is not. The spartan was trained at a very young age, close to the ninjas I presume. The spartan was trained to be a brute in war, a juggernaut if you will. I will wait for my opponents response.
