1 against 2 - double langes messer vs Katana and Broadsword´n SHield

[Orowam]

The double langes messer fighter was good, don't get me wrong, but i have a feeling he was the elite compared to the other two which factored alot into the epicness involved lol

[tjakal]

@Orowam They're letting him 'live' on purpose of-course. In a real all out fight you'd just close as soon as his back is turned and that be the end of it. Training like that work to build reflexes and confidence, not to simulate how it actually turn out if everybody tried to murder each other.

[smashbro5]

Very cool! I like that you guys were going pretty fast, but not too fast to be unsafe.

[pretrno6]

Nec Hercules contra duos :)

[EyePierce]

If you try fighting a friend with a couple sticks you're going to get some bruises because you try to control your weapon with sheer strength alone. All three of the guys in here however know what their doing, they know where their blade is going to go, and they've practiced their forms enough to know how to block. Even with that in mind, you can tell throughout the video where they stop and slow their moves down TO MAKE PERFECTLY SURE they don't injure each other.

[Tungdor]

someone might get killed

[Halofreakanoid]

@Tungdor : From blunt training swords? I don't think so.

[Zero9056]

where did you guys get those swords?

i got an aluminium Langes Messer myself. Its great and it even didnt rusting! Well the Crossguard and the Pummel if you let it to long in wet weed...or else

[AraIevent]

Do I see double sticks being used with swords?

[Izaac351]

Dude. this looks like A LOT of fun.



[Triplespadez]

the pair could have done alot better. First off the guy with the shield and swords should have been up in his face so then the guy with the katana could stab his back easily. But the katana guy kept moving too close and the guy with the shield was really passive. This fight could have ended alot quicker for the pair if they knew how to work together. I dont mean to rag on this video its good but the teamwork here wasn't good

[cerkuenik]

i like this kind of training, its much more "finishing moves" oriented, not just sword-tapping

[Halofreakanoid]

@cerkuenik : You mean like how real martial arts techniques are? And not crap like kendo.

[cerkuenik]

@Halofreakanoid sure ;)

[Halofreakanoid]

@cerkuenik : Here you go: /watch?v=mjT4JepA-Vc&list=FLd4­l8STyBr-wPIQVsHwV_MA&index=11&­feature=plpp_video

[cerkuenik]

@Halofreakanoid I saw that video already, but thx ;)

[Halofreakanoid]

@cerkuenik : Sure thing

[pencil1ist]

This video sucks

[HellecticMojo]

Is it just me or is the guy with the katana overextending himself a lot? he keeps on trying to poke with it and his right hand leaves the grip a lot. seems like a easy disarm in one on one fighting.

[bigfatfoot]

Even blunt aluminium blades are going to hurt.

[3000dx]

For all Cabal payers: WA vs FS vs BL

[Blitzhild]

what kind of practice swords are you using?

[dragon2060]

i dont get it how do thay not get hirt from this there jumping arownd swinging swords i do this but we are going slow so we dont cut some one

[zukuru]

@dragon2060 weapon control and loads of training, Sir.

[dragon2060]

@zukuru even with loads of training you can miss and mess up and than some one gets A SWORD IN THE CHEST even real solder at their time used wood swords so if they messed up they would be fine and wouldn't kill the guy their fighting with

[zukuru]

@dragon2060 we use blunt aluminum blades ....

[dragon2060]

@zukuru oh okay cool its a nice video btw man

[Tralfagal]

@zukuru He does not know aluminum exists... Only real sharp blades.. and wood. lol

[dragon2060]

@Tralfagal i do know aluminum i just did not think of it at the time

[Halofreakanoid]

@dragon2060 : It really depends on the era and location as to whether soldiers were trained with wood. Wood can never replace to feel of a steel weapon.

[dragon2060]

@Halofreakanoid true that like spartan training was brutal as shit so i bet they used the real deal in weapons lol

[Halofreakanoid]

@dragon2060 : Steel training swords were also used in medieval europe in many occasions.

Really most Greek training was rigorous because they were standing armies.

[tjakal]

@dragon2060 Not like they put any power into these blows, as far as sparring goes I'd not be surprised if people in the old days even sparred with sharp weapons. If you read about early knight tournaments you know just how insane the violent nobles of Europe really were. People just agreed where to meet and played a game of 'kidnap anyone you can beat into submission' holding each other for ransom unless they got killed in the process. A Tournament were like a agreed upon mini-war.

[dbspaceoditty]

@dragon2060 back in the day they used wooden swords just like the american military used wooden guns because all the real swords and guns are being used to fight the war.

[Halofreakanoid]

@dragon2060 : There are these things called blunt swords. You should look them up.

[dragon2060]

@Halofreakanoid let me swing a blunt sword at you and see what happens and the tips are still sharp and shit happens you dont need to be an ass hole i was just asking

[Halofreakanoid]

@dragon2060: I do it all the time. It's called Historical European Martial Arts. I wasn't being an asshole, I was telling you what they are called. Also the tips are rounded.

[TheCryptidKeeper]

@dragon2060 the tips are actually rounded.

[CharSiuX]

The guy duel-wielding, are you ambidextrous? Just curious how difficult it would be to train up if a person is either right/left handed. If you are not naturally ambidextrous, how long did it take up to train to be able to duel-wield comfortably?

[eglar1820]

And where are the good old messer-specific techniques? They have apparently fallen victim to the coolness factor of dual wield, haven't they? :sarcasm:

[Delroxorz]

I'm not familiar with german...What is a langes messer? Some kind of katzbalger or something?

[D313370r]

@Delroxorz

Langes Messer literally means long knife.

It was a single-edged sword with a curved blade.

Meant for cutting.

[jbzism]

very impressive really if anybody tried taking on any of these three guys i think it would be a challenge

[RealestMcKoy]

Honestly i cant see anyone of the three is using a typical tatctic for each weapon, looks more like a Brawl in highschool....

The double sword guy is allways open on his back and the Katana guy dont know how to handle a katana...the buckler&Sword guy is just ridicullous......

[kjax2008]

I agree with earlier comment. Nice to watch, but main error is the defender is mostly running through the middle.  He needs to attack one without leaving his back to the other, in reality the second guy would simply lunge and stab. Also he could do with being more patient. Just observations

[CountArtha]

It's also good tactics on the pair's part. They're coordinating their attacks from both directions.

[kjax2008]

possibly, but I do not see any footwork that shows the defender attempting to do otherwise.

[CountArtha]

Well, maybe if the gym were a bit larger he'd have a better time of it. It's hard to keep them on one side of you when there's nowhere to run.

Or he might just think it's cooler to run down the middle and take them two at a time. lol

[OverlordKay]

I love the way the double langes messer fighting style looks!

[Rodrik18]

nice... but the single person opened himself up a lot, would've been better if he made them get in each others way rather than going between them so much.

[gwacha3vampire]

to scrappy.... if thats how germans battle then id die of laughter

[AlexRawlings]

really good

[BlackGatchaman]

Very nice!!!! I enjoyed the mixture of styles and weapons.

[PuddingblendeR]

maybee (maybee!!!! xD) its better if you attack one of the to you go on the outside ne not the inside becuase than your back is open.

i think this is easelyer say then it is but ok.. xP

[trusttruth1985]

nice, its great it see so many fighting styles used in a fight.

[IMartok13]

This was such a great fight - oink oink!!!!

[poopwadmcgee]

awesome video! really nice combo by the 2 Langes Messer guy at 1:00

awesomeness

[armaetemporis]

j' aime!

[Spartiatai300]

Nice fight, you guys should do more 2v1s and how about a group vs group battle, would be fun =P.

[zukuru]

bhbhhbhbbbbhhhhh,

hard to do - not really possible with Alu weapons..

Single fighter needs to nail one down.

Will test ist double stick vs Stick´n Knife,

°v°

[Kelkesh123]

This is really badass, lol.
