Learn the Art of Combat - Halberd Fighting Techniques - Part Six

Two Halberd plays from Joachim Meyers book about the knightly art of swordsmanship - 1570 A.D. The plays can be found on page 38recto (XXXVIII) in the last chapter of the original book found here:

PS: Obviously NOT exclusive for formation fighting. Meyers manuscript shows mostly techniques for a duel! But you can use many of the concepts also for formation battles like thrusting or striking in a tighter way.

School doesn’t prepare you for real life, thank you for these tips 🙏

[bowenmadden]

Never a good sign when the video on halberd fighting starts with an ambulance siren in the distance. 😂

I love watching these, though! 😊

[noway]

Where can I get a pair of those cool swordsman pantaloons?

[shadowabsol]

This is genuinely fascinating to watch!

[martinpaint]

Deine Videos sind toll. Bleib in Bewegung

[Haldei]

Great video as usual. I'd suggest wearing eye protection however

Looking at how close the pointy before actually reach the face, they're surely the instructor that will actually beat you up in actual training

[roffels-gamingandhistory]

Very bad pun in coming: Is this his axe? 😏

Bad jokes aside: I like the shown techniques and I love to see new faces in the HEMA sub-culture (at least to me she is new). 🤗

[MichalBreslau]

I wonder if Pope's Swiss Guard, is able to use any of those techniques. 😅

[generalmarkmilleyisbenedic]

I will finance you so that you can assemble and train an army of medieval soldiers. Lets conquer shtuff

[thylange]

It looks dangerous without face protection.

[gtjz]

Can’t focus on the technique cuz the thrust is just so scarily close to her face😖

[bealight]

how are we supposed to focus when shes wearing those sexy balloon pants???

[francoisbelanger]

I feel that their weapon are too light. A real weapon with metallic head won’t allow such moves,

[thomasschulze]

In this video, you can see why women don't belong in combat against men! She barely gets the polearm moving while for the man it's like a tooth pick XD

Cool channel, but what's up with attacking a girl, even pretending? Is it something you dream about? Talk to a specialist?
