Rapier DOMINATES in sword fights, but there is a better sword! #shorts

The rapier is perhaps the ultimate sword for duels, and is very difficult to fight against with other swords. But there is one sword that can destroy it!

The search for the ideal sword seems to end up with re-creating a spear.

Man, people should really subscribe to Matt for not leaving us hanging there like the regular shorts do.

I think it's my favorite channel of medieval stuff It's has been a few months by now. Nice to see making good shorts too.

nice satisfied my curiosity instantly, instead of leaving me hanging👍

Y-you actually told us the thing, rather than making me look through your video library? Bless you, laddie. Subscribed.

Never underestimate the power of a 2lb brick or stone.

[SNPICUS]

To be fair, i'd rather see almost anything except a rapier, if I had to duel someone. Those things are mankillers.

As a Dark Souls veteran, Zweihander is indeed the master of swords.

Q:
What is the counter to a long ass sword?

A:
What else? A longer and bigger ass sword!😂

Literally the perfect example of “nice argument. However…”

“That’s a beautiful rapier you have there friend! However…”

Renaissance version of 'Parry this you f-ing casual!'

[morelenmir]

The brilliant duel at the end of Rob Roy comes to mind!

Fantastic. Finally a man of respect, not leaving cliff hangers like all the other YouTubers. This is why you follow Scholagladiatoria. Some class 👌

Words give no justice to how much of a legend you are, Matt!

Matt throwing his Fargo-like hat in the ring and making some shorts...good to see! Best and coolest sword and battle history channel anywhere. Been a fan for years.

[newphonewhodis]

Just the way Matt is enjoying himself is what makes this so much better. You can clearly see the passion and love for the subject matter

[brianleben]

The two hander, answer to all life’s problems! Lol

[stewartjones]

Surely someone able to fight with a sword can parry a long sword strike and therefore rush in on the parry That is why the fighter with a rapier would carry a poniard (a long stabbing knife to parry the inward rush).

[syncmonism]

A shorter sword can be drawn faster, which would often be more important. Katanas were very well designed in this regard, and people would practice drawing and striking with them in a single motion.

In a battlefield scenario, something even longer, like a greatsword, a spear, a polearm, or something with superior armor penetrating capabilities, will be more useful.
