We have got it good now! No war in Europe for 60 years!!! Now if we just weren't being invaded by Muslims again.

Not to mention the oppression of our governments via exorbitant taxes and almost total disarmament.

[DrGreenThumbs1]

history repeats itself in the ashes of empires fallen

[GuamKomudo]

I feel bad for you guys in Europe losing your cultures to Muslims... You guys are letting too many of them in man... Soon you won't have a culture, you guys gotta stop so many of them from moving in... Now Obama is trying to kill our government like lots in Europe... All of Europe was screaming for us NOT to pass that Medical bill, yet he did...  =P

[XCritonX]

@GuamKomudo Its us or them. I think that another reconquest will happen in our lifetime. It will probably be global and hopefully it leads the complete annihilation of the Muslim culture. Like the Aztec, Assyrian, and Babylonian cultures Islam is based on violence, oppression and fear. Muslims will tell you to your face that they want peace, while trying to stab you in the back. The peace they want is for you to Rest In Peace. It has always been that way with them and its time they disappeared.

[GuamKomudo]

I personally don't like Muslim culture... I am a Roman Catholic, I don't think they have the right to take over your countries (Which they are doing) Same with the European Union... It's stupid, you're killing your own cultures and making a single European mixed culture. Save yourselves man... I would HATE to see Europe loose such awesome cultures.

[Ronnock]

@GuamKomudo The Roman Catholic Church is no better (and arguably worse) than the creeds and nation-states that you are referring to.

[Hroarr]

Jeez, everyone. Do a little research before complaining... Search for Hema, WMA, ARMA, Historical European Martial Arts, Hammaborg, GHFS, ringen.

There are tons of clips of both techniques and sparring with the techniques mentioned. Iron Door Studios who produced this video is ARMA. There are huge amounts of proper academic and hands-on research to back it up.

[Tawalisi]

Too much talking!!!!!!!!!!Where are the techniqus!

[255Knights]

look up ARMA sword...

[ishouldplayzelda]

@255Knights look up SCA heavy combat

[hunkyzombie]

it seems to be on repatition, i know that sword fighting and martial arts are skilled and disciplined... i thought this was going to talk more about the specifics of those techniques..

[docnightfall]

Where are the re-enactments? Quotes from academic literature? The scholarly interviews?

This isn't a documentary. It's a video-essay.

[Floydzkrieg]

Hear, hear. Not at all what I expected and not particularly informative. Lots of pretty pictures to accompany what is essentially a history book on tape.

[SirKickz]

@docnightfall

...it's a web documentary that's distributed free of charge.  What do you expect?

[ketsan]

The English in this is dire.

[SailorBarsoom]

Amazing images. This is as technique-rich as any martial arts tradition, and it's good for people to know that.

[seba0308]

Way too much general, introductory information that does not at all explains the actual art of close combat or brakes down techniques. What you hear in this film is what you can read in any general history book or watch in Hollywood movies. Lots of pictures but absolutely NO source work. "A wide array of arms was necessary". Really?

[vikiinki]

Yes it may looks brutal but they were a man as man should be not like today cry-BABY s !! Today s weapon s are for girls not for the man of honour !!!

[KeithBrown51]

Think so?

I wonder how you would face down Jelly Bryce.

[VegaEtereo]

5/5

[AlexRawlings]

Really good work. Some of the pictures are amazing !

[mortuary3]

is this documentary available on dvd for purchase? Nicely done.

[Supertomiman]

i don't think so but there's a very good one called reclaiming the blade

[krosshair1]

Wow, lots of images I have never seen before. Very nice.

[flashart]

Great stuff!

The cartoon images of 'wig'd men' always reminds me of Black Adder though...

[memphadon]

wow, some amazing images

[armorob]

From which source did the picture at 6:25-6:26 come from? I don't recognize it at all.

[SwordAndBuckler]

I believe that is the color version of Meyer.
