The practice sword wasn't a wooden broad sword had to be light enough for Arya. Despite that though it doesn't take that hard of a hit to the head to stun someone and a helmet may protect against your skull getting crushed but not much protection from getting your bell rung. I watched my battle buddy in basic training get knocked out wearing a padded helmet and getting hit by a padded pugil-stick.

Did anyone else notice Varys reaction to how Selmy was treated. He didn't look to happy about it at all. I'm pretty sure Varys the one who introduces him to Illyrio and therefore Daenarys. The Spider's web keeps getting more and more intricate.
