To be honest this is way cooler than most fight scenes in media

[bobtheblob]

the olympics would be getting so much more traction if this was in their selection

[hottox]

1:17 is such a cool move. Used the momentum of the parry to go for the neck

[metalslug]

These lethal, life-threatening transactions take place in matters of seconds. Imagine how bloody, quick, and chaotic a real sword battle would be on a medieval battlefield back in the 1200's. It must be horrifying to live through

I love these sparring exchanges that you guys post.

The excellent editing, slow motion replays, and highlighting points of contact make it easy for nearly anyone to follow.

And sword fights are so COOL.

This is what we thought we were doing with sticks and pool floaties when we were kids.

that fucking back block makes me immensely excited

[KatonRyu]

This is probably the first HEMA vid I've seen that actually excited me. Great movement, lots of action, and still clearly a good deal of skill from both combatants. Fantastic video!

[sippsleezy]

That first fool’s guard attack was really well done! Both fought well, I just really liked that exchange

[celticsalad]

They didn’t even shoulder bash once, do they not know the meda?

[frhuntrz]

That was the most clanging metal-against-metal sounds IRL swordfighting match I've ever seen, and it's way cooler than most movies' fight choreography

[czarus_the_sniper]

1:17 looked soooo amazing, SPLENDID WORK!

[Cato_Minor]

As a fencer, watching this is a combination of pure pain and pure envy.

[oguzhantavus]

Send this video to Hollywood. Movie scene productors must improve their perception of swordfighting. Incredible video by the way :)

[joaoguilhermebastos]

Aight. Longswords ain't that slow as i supposed.

[krystoferdo]

This is honestly one of the best demonstrations of longsword martial arts I've ever seen. Kudos.

[maexpert]

This is awesome i have always wanted to learn more about sword arts as well as other weapons i mostly do hand to hand training and have recently been adapting handguns and knives but still want to learn more historical weapons

[ultimomos]

Gah the orange fighters footwork and discipline is just fantastic. So structured and able to address every angle while patiently waiting for the opening.

[Corneliusoco]

Real sword fights: *tense, no time for error, lots of iron clashes, elegant*

Movie sword fights: *backflip jump suck on your toe while doing it backflips again balances sword on his nose and wins*

I loved the timing and position of the fighter without boots at 0:34. It shows the immense versatility of the low vom Tag position.
