[cpraincp]

very good skill woa, you practice a lot!

[brucesikes]

We made most of the armour, so costs were kept down, about $60 for the helm materials for example...our heads like the swords are dull except for the many nicks

[ajparker1]

How much was the armor you bought?

Its a great vid look very realistic. But were those swords you used dull or sharp?

And were did you get them?

[Ragger10]

holy crappers those knights still look badass lol

[smulhan]

[smulhan]

i just cant stop watching this vid its so good

[brucesikes]

Thanks smulhan! Yes, It's in St. Louis, Mo.

[smulhan]

good vid is this in the us ?

[silksylvenstein]

Very nice moves, good work, wish you best in future, keep it up!

[supergodzilla1]

Nice work.

[brucesikes]

I should say the opening song is Carmina Burana and the rest is obviously a Medieval/Renaissance instrumental who's artist and performer I cannot locate but will try to find for you. Thanks!

[brucesikes]

Thanks Dillcrazy, It was done by a college freshman on the school's MAC, we had about 4 hours do everything!

[Dziku13]

Very nice fight! The knights have pretty good uniforms! What's the name of song?

[brucesikes]

It's Carmina Burana composed by Carl Orff

[Dillcrazy]

I think it shows good value of how they might have fought in the bronze age. the video was good clear and well done. good job man

[Jimbodragon]

whats the name of the song at the beginning with the chorus?

[ByzantineCataphract]

Pretty good, actually. I especially liked the arm blocks- with a bracer, the best he can hope is to break your arm, and he'll need a heavy sword and a heavy blow. And you'd need to block, and not deflect like you do.

[Roman55Legions]

SO COOL!!

[FoardenotFord]

Good fighting. This is much more realistic than something that I just saw, no edge to edge blocking, more use of the shield, a nice video....

[brucesikes]

danishmuscle, thanks for your comments. Nice fights you did in your vids. Looks like fun. I usually get to Europe once or twice a year maybe I'll get the chance to visit sometime. Thanks and keep fighting!

[brucesikes]

The shinning armour brings to mind a quote from a 15th century Turk describing the attacking Crusaders and Hospitallers, "In the morning the enemy put on cuirasses and arms. Their gauntlets, thier arm defences, their leg defences, their helmets, all shone and twinkled in the light" Interesting observation..

[brucesikes]

Taschenratte, Thanks, but "lame"? well ok.... FYI, it was 95 degrees and bright sunlight next to a lake when we filmed that, even the dirt was "sparkling" that day. Anyway, we do free fight from time to time, but not for this practice film...

[danishmuscle]

Very nice movie.  Nice routine! Try to take a look at my swordfighting. We are a small medeveil group from denmark, who make showfight and full contact.

[Taschenratte]

nice job, but the sparkling chaining shirts are lame... there was no rust protective alloy in good ol' days... maybe you should try freefight, looks more dynamic...

[brucesikes]

KlausVH...Thanks, I've already seen most of your vids, nice as well..thanks!

Adam....The domed helm I bought and modifed with the crucifix nasal guard everything else we made...takes awhile but you can find a great deal of info on the web...the swords in this vid are inexpensive Paul Chen models..not the best but practical and sturdy...

[adamdude]

where do you get the armor and swords?

[KlausVonHermannstadt]

nice...watch my videos:)

[brucesikes]

SunFortis...with all due respect...Read more...as in my comments above...we'll try to make a more conclusive video next time...thanks for the comments on the armour, we made it ourselves...take care...

[rpf289]

How did you make it yourself? :) I'm really curious. How long did it take? How much did it cost you? How heavy is it? Am I asking too many questions? :P

[SunFortis]

Docela dobre. Ale pohyby jsou nepřesvědčivé.

Good show. Nice armour. Inconclusive moves. Train more.

[majorkonig10]

nice video finally a decent sword fight

[brucesikes]

Thanks,Yes, rehearsed moves, no real video plan, just having a bit of fun on a nice sunny day, we've done better but it was more of an experiment for a longer vid in the future. And yes, the shorter knight is a girl, a very tough fighter and quick learner, been with me less than a year, made her own mail too!

[Htrad]

Nice moves, certainly fake-fight but very very nice. Is the shorter one a girl? moves like one... (no offence)
