These people are not edge bashing hacks. The man with the beard is michael lopes cardozo, and according to various posts on the HEMA alliance forum, he is very knowledgeable in WMA, especially in dutch dagger fighting. Look at some of his tournament fighting, and you'll see he has good control of body mechanics and sword flow.
The goofy "edge bashing" choreo in this video is probably intended for the uninformed general public, not the HEMA community, so let's not rush to judgement eh?
Oh decoy, I fear the distance would be too big for you but otherwise I would be happy to invite you into class and do some training with us. But since you have such a strong distest against our style I would like to know if you have any video's here that you could post here that you think are the best. (I am always curious in new material)
U, my friend, are a pityful hack. You are just another american loser who spends his time cruising the internet for vids to put a 'hate comment' on.
U have probably only hollywood swordfighting as an example. I would like to see u take down my teacher. The beginners on our children class would kill u.
Shameful stage combat choreography. Where is the real MARTIAL art? Edge bashing, twirling like a princess, and half-hearted strikes. This is NOT Historical European Martial Arts and it's an insult to suggest otherwise.
They would most likely kill you on their points if it came down to it. What you saw was just public advertising, as I said search more before making stupid comments like that.
That's the best medieval troop I've ever seen !
I hope to see you again in France at AZINCOURT guys ! ;D

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I've seen their other videos. These guys are edge-bashing hacks of little worth.
As for "killing me on their points", I'd just wait till they do their little twirly move and they'd be dead in a heartbeat.
As I said, pitiful hacks whose twirly fairy princess routine doesn't impress me one iota.
And a funny looking beard is not a prerequisite for HEMA, nor does it make one an authority. It just makes them look silly.

Yes, well... These guys should put their swords to good use and throw themselves on the tip. Pitiful hacks.
