To this day, trial by combat has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States. [It was used] as recently as 1818 in British Court.
Ostrom asked the court to give him 12 weeks to source and forge the Japanese katana and wakizashi swords that he wishes to use in combat.
Ostrom says his ex-wife can have her attorney stand in as her "Champion."
Her attorney, Matthew Hudson, responded to the request by filing a resistance to the trial by combat by first correcting Ostrom's spelling:
Surely [Ostrom] meant 'corporeal' bodies which Merriam Webster defines as having, consisting of, or relating to, a physical material body. Although [Ostrom] and potential combatant do have souls to be rended, they respectfully request that the court not order this done. It should be noted that just because the U.S. and Iowa constitutions do not specifically prohibit battling another person with a deadly katana sword, it does prohibit a court sitting in equity from ordering same.

This guy has taken the movie Kill Bill too seriously.
