These fights are what reenactors call "show-fight.". Lots of shouting and shield-hitting, shield-bashing and waving of swords. It can be done a lot better than showed here, but few reenactors bothers training it.
They then shift to "free-style, a superlight form of sports-fighting where any blade-contact within the target area counts as a kill. Show-fighting is just to entertain the public. Free-style is highly unrealistic, but when done well it is very competitive and a lot of fun.
Well, the point is NOT to get killed yourself, these guys try to show what it would have been like to fight in a Holmgang. You would batter the shield to make your opponent tired, while not getting gut, therefor you protect yourself with the shield.
im not saying they are faggots because they dress like vikings and fight with swords, im saying they are waving there swords around like faggots because the point of fighting is to kill the man not there shield!
