Nice fight, I'm not sure of the rules as I would have given Alex that unterhau at 4:14 sec as a total fight stopper if it had been a sharp as Anders head strike is almost 3/4 of a sec later and his sword was too far back when struck. to be a threat (if the sword had passed into his ribcage to the spine. They called it as a double...
@connorfinn2007 the rules used the "after blow", which allows the fighter receiving a hit one tempo (one step or one movement/cut) to counter a hit in order to nullify it. Matt Galas has written at length about this rule (its historical).
I agree totally. However, having fought in the tourney, they definitely keep you fit... ;) On a serious note, we will need to find something stiffer eventually.
@MugginsToadwort totally, agree - the whippiness makes thrusting and absetzen almost useless. though i would have thought, as a meyer man, that would have suited you? :p

Ha, I reacted at that as well. It looked more so as the blow Anders struck was on the back. Cool fight and great skills

What are they using, this is very different from the foam and alluminium that I was used to?

@Rogertheshrubber1983 They are synthetic wasters from Knight Shop. Too whippy and light, but a better model is being released soon.
