Decoy, you obviously don't realise what stage combat is about.
Stage combat is to put up a fight for theatrical display. WITHOUT causing harm to the performers. It's meant to be entertaining for an audience. It is NOT meant to hurt or kill anyone.
Yes, in a real fight twirly moves and ballet like spins are probably the worst moves you can do. But luckily, what you see is stage combat. NOT a real fight.
Go look up some sparring video's if real combat is what you are looking for.
You do realize that every single one of his videos is this same garbage, right? Amek is NOT a Martial Art. It is silly twirling and flailing. These people do a gross disservice to our ancestors and the advancement of HEMA.
Ofcourse it isn't an Martial Art, its an academy for European Medieval Swordfighting, just go to their site instead of giving crap because you're to blind to seperate stage fights from real fights.
Excuse me, but "European Medieval Swordfighting" IS a martial art, when it's DONE RIGHT. The name is "swordFIGHTING", not prancing around like idiots.
This is NOT how my noble ancestors fought and it is a personal affront to me to see this garbage.
If you were Native American, you would be offended by people hopping around chanting "Ai ai ai ai ai!" acting like an "Indian". It is racially insensitive. Right?
Same thing applies here. This is just as much of a mockery of my heritage.
It is, yet the AMEK doesn't stand for swordfighting, its stands for the academy which teaches it.
Just go to their site, if you're comparing stage fights to personal insults then I suggest you stop watching any movie.
This is an STAGE fight, stop taking it as an insult and cry about it, these men are highly skilled in the art but are simply shooting this for a TV SCENE! Just look for AMEK spar to see them sparring somewhere.
Grrr... I HAVE seen their other crap (I said so above... "every single one of their videos is this same garbage").
I KNOW who AMEK is and I'm saying that they do absolute crap.
NONE of what they do is Martial Art... there's nothing "Martial" about what they do. It is ALL just twirling and flailing.
PLUS: Why do they feel a need to make up "stage" combat when the real stuff is FAR more exciting and engaging than this farcical "stage" crap they come up with. Just give us real HEMA, not crap.
right!

Does this guy honestly think that having long hair and braiding his beard makes him a good fighter? I hope he's not that delusional. Shameful.

You do realise this is a stage fight? He's a teacher at the Amek, search for it.

HEMA sausages are great but have nothing to do with medieval combat..
You obviously haven't, search for Spar.
Why do stage combat? Because real combat is too unpredictable and would end in seconds and wont be as entertaining as an stage fight.
You do realise they go to European Medieval Arts groups all over the world to teach right?
You are most likely the only true European Martial Artist from the looks of it...
