Dual wielding with two-handed weapons

When is dual-wielding not dual-wielding? I suppose you could say that a man with a longsword is also wielding a hammer (the quillons) and a mace (the pommel), and a short spear (half-sworded blade) at the same time as the sword. YouTube suggested the keyword tags 'ninja' and 'cats' for this video, but I resisted both.

Merchandise still not sorted out, but soon(ish), possibly.

Dual wielding with two-handed weapons

[aislingbones]

So in a completely semantic sense, if I were to strap three daggers to my hip while swinging around a longsword, I'd be quadruple wielding.

You realize, of course, that everyone here came for the spectacle of you stumbling around in circles trying to put up a proper fight with two longswords at once.

when he started showing how you could get even more hits in with just using two hands i was like and then when he pulled the dagger out of no where I was like "OH SHT"

The rondel surprised me. When that came at the camera seemingly out of no where I instantly thought "You're a lot more dangerous then you might first appear aren't you."

When I was younger, I was really into Spears...Britney to be more precise. Has nothing to do with this videos, just wanted to tell someone.

However, if you are Arc welding with one hand and MIG welding with the other, that's dual welding.  Don't be confused.

Do a video about duel-wielding three-handed weapons.

[VoidExileYT]

i thought you meant having 2 two-handed weapons at once...

[namewarvergeben]

You can definately be pleased with the end-plate joke of this video.

I tried the suggestion at the end of the video, I got my ropes mixed up and ended up in Norfolk. :(

0:57 *AHH!*
That thing came out of nowhere.


This makes a very good point about supposed "Weapon X vs Weapon Y" as either of them at any time may pull out a knife and AHH STABBING!

[pellaken]

Request: a video about non-traditional weapons. Clubs, Machetes, Kitchen Knives, and how they compare to real weapons, and why the real ones are better.

[TheFBIorange]

Slightly disappointed that you didn't end up with two longswords like in the thumb nail haha

OMFG I DID NOT EXPECT THAT
i lol'd so hard

[MefCourse]

Thank you, I've really missed these videos.

[finiteenergy]

I love Lindybeige but, his got the fashion sense of my 94 year old grand dad.

[SherlockHolmes]

You should make a video about War Elephants, and their usefulness.

[WalkOnNick]

I thought this was going to be about dual wielding two two-handed weapons. ;)

Lloyd, that was a nice use of establishing a rhythm and taking advantage of it. I wasn't even aware that I had mentally prepared to parry your next slash, and then you stabbed with your rondel.
