It did not take long to read to the end where the last word is "...beginning."
In Lunar gravity, men can float down from a balcony and can also take flying leaps during sword fights like John Carter on Mars. Like ERB's Carter series, "The Temple..." is "sword and science" as against "sword and sorcery." All that happens is several fights until the viewpoint character is on the winning side at least for the time being. A sequel would be "The Return to Earth."
I will try to find out whether there are any more old Poul Anderson stories on line. However, we are grateful that Anderson went on to write about something other than sword fights.
