Swordfight

[DarthVyson]

btw these guys truly arent that good until they get on the knives and staves, esp the staves, with those they could hold even me off for a long time

[DarthVyson]

dude number 1: i play WoW

dude number 2: im the best swordsman in my town, and the one next to it, so its not exactly wasting peoples time

dude number 3: for the ghost guy, ive seen videos of eskrima OK, number one: people are different in fighting skill, just bcause they practice eskrima doesnt make them unstoppable 2: on the vids ive seen, 2/3 of the people i could take down as warmups, and the other 1/3 percent ide only fight to test the art

so just shut up about those things k????????????

[gorg0004]

theres not enough room for ur ego on this planet, go kill urself

[DarthVyson]

jackass, its the truth, and i dont have an ego, but i am very confident when it comes to fighting. just throwing their abilities into perspective, so look out who u tell to go kill themselves

[hesmydog]

leave them alone at least they are not wasting away playing wow keep it up guys but your next move should be to find a real school peace out.

[theghostofeskrima]

The best way to beat these two yuppies is to have a fillipino martial artist fight them with thier cheap ass wood dnd swords is with a balisong & a bolo machette

[beragrond]

nice vid, me and my twin bro have been fighting with swords for 10 years (16 atm) and we can do routines faster than that aswell as randomised combat, he prefers dual wielding as he is ambidextourus and i prefer hand and a half swords but you guys have skills, you should do a faster paced video, it would be awesome, wait a go guys, awesome song btw :P

[elendiel]

nice =)! I'm 17, and I've been doing this for 6 years now. Duals are hard, but worth it, if you know how to use them. My best weapon is probably dagger - even stabbed our teacher a few times in a combat x). But if I, and my opponent could choose anything, I'd go with a shield, and a 1+1/2 sword. Heavy to handle, but pays out =)

[beragrond]

same here man :) a good old 1 1/2 hander broadsword and a shield :) thats what you want :) duals are actually hard to use like ya fight in the vid, its east to jab with but to sync attacks is devilish.

[theghostofeskrima]

HAHA!!!

a eskrimadore would beat these small time sword fighters

[mrp92a]

Dude, what is the name of this slipknot song?

[elendiel]

(sic), it's also in the tags. Stay sic, and rock on!

[quadcannon]

Not bad. However the guys fighting with knives were still fighting as if they were using swords. The lack of using the hands and more grappling involved means that the effectiveness of using this practice in reality is slim to none.

[elendiel]

yep, as i said, these fights are for public (and most people don't know much about fighting), of course we do learn how to fight effectively, we also do unarmed combat...

[ranxyel]

why the hell do you evem do this?

dont get me wrong i do it 2 but i am in a renactment society.

[elendiel]

Well, we do it because it's fun, and we also learn how to fight against weapons (armed or unarmed, that doesn't matter) in real life. That's always handy

[theghostofeskrima]

cheesy ass shit thats what you get when peole dress up with fencing suits, when an eskrimadore would defeat you all armed, unarmed and with a firearm, knife or real sword

[dontcommentmehoe]

But they are better than you.

[coldmoonscout]

is there a gym that teaches all those different styles?

if there is I've been missing out, me and my friends with our poor-man bokkens, lack of pads, no teacher,and no timekeeper just have at it until we can't move anymore

there has to be a better place to learn

[tacticalforceslinger]

nice even if it is a simple practice or you just showing techs not bad you show sum prowress

[Realrpg]

Have u ever accidently got stabed?

[elendiel]

Yep, if you do that, you will get many bruises over years =D. My worst was accidentally getting stabbed by a rapier in the neck. OF course it wasn't sharp for practice, but it still did hurt like fuck!

[Realrpg]

Wholy shit

[Rensra]

What style were these people doing? (European, Asian) and at that what country?

It's pretty fucking awesome. However, it seems like it is play fighting thus not actual sword/melee weapon technique.

[elendiel]

Yep, it's fights for theatre, but still we use most of the techniques that were used, but a bit overexaggerated. It's European gothic times style (for example the famous Talhoffer - google it). If you're talking about the curved short blades, well, that's a czech medieval peasant weapon, very effective .)

[smrk3t4]

Oh yeah and music is cool to.

[smrk3t4]

Cool!If I would do that I would get my ass kicked in few seconds xP

[EvilDemon10]

COOL!!

[dragondill1]

lol some1 needs to use a kama or a scimitar

[guitarhero481]

nice job just ignore negative comments the music was cool too =]

[Rensra]

If one ignores the negative side then there is no point in commenting...

[scarletboi1]

these are not genuine theyre coriograuphed.comeo lads you know you can do better

[VorenDagoth]

music oh well, just stick with it and get some lessons guys, I have been in to swordsmanship since I was young.

This is a great way to burn off some pent up anger, learn some disaplin, if you stick with it its also a decent way to stay in shape.

(note) use training swords or blunt edged.

oh and the "ownage" thing... just dont.

[elendiel]

yep, we use blunt edged swords, but we practically never hit each other, even in the fights where we really mean to (we control the swings, and stop before they hit)- i once got hit by an axe in the shoulder, and couldn't use the hand for a week :D

[varangianguard01]

i got my hand broken by an axe i got a seax in my back a took spears in my nuts :-S multiple swordstrokes in my face bruized at least anything once i have 21 scars on my hands 15 on my right hand alone i could continue this for a wile

[xychr0]

Good to see some boys swinging swords and fighting with their bodies instead of clicking buttons in World of Warcraft. Some nice fights - keep it up, and don't let the negative comments bring you down because it's always easier to say something instead of posting that you know it.

[Bonkerbomber]

That was really poor. U never would have a chance against a good Langes Schwert or dagger fencer.

[spawn6110]

that was pretty bad

[IcyCool21]

Too bad it's all rehearsed.

[tomboyluvsyanni9876]

the music sucks

[Thorbjoernkraus]

Not impressed.... nuff said.. actually not.

The cuts and stabs you are using are so far from reality that its pointless. Your parries are up way before the hit is thrown. Not to mention your "knife fight" Try holding the blade the other way :-)

Like the music though

[elendiel]

sorry to say so, but let me sum up the complains that i agree with. It's too slow, some of the steps are bad, and the blocks are performed too fast. The part where you're wrong is - you can use dagger either like this, or, as you said "the other way - reverse". Both have advantages and disadvantages. The way we're doing it - you have much longer reach. The other way, you have slightly more grip, and power.

[oiamgodo]

wow, these people need to get a life.

cool video guys.

[alejandrotaker]

in what year was that their clothes seens like the 90s

[GRABA85]

As a choreography it is rather weak. You didn't use proper stepwork, cuts are not aimed at partners body, they are to slow and not made proper. You should also break tempo.I'm not master and I even don't like logsword, but everyone whos interested in historical fencing can tell you that.

[mzombie90]

That was only ordinary training.

[Nithe]

such low level sword fighting. all cheoreographed.

[elendiel]

Yep, it is choreographed, that's what we do for the public, it doesn't mean we can't fight for real though!

[Nosferatum1066]

Heey...you guys really look like pirates, so go and play with Johny D. or it would be cool to do that in a Rock concert ....maybe Nigtwish or Tiamat . I respect that someone is still interested in Ancient European sword Fighting. P.S. Spikeey chill out mate

[i2heart2super2l]

OMG my $poon ran outta batterie$!!

Al$o that wa$ a very koool video

[spikeymikey999]

iv got a couple of things to say. that is the crappest fighting ever, iv been trained in all of them weapon including katana's and wakizashi's (not stupid pirate swords as shown in the vid) and i get trained to end this quick, all you have to do is SPEED UP, i can do about 5 swings of my katana in 2 seconds, thats just plain stupid. they cant be taking it serious if they that slow

[elendiel]

1) true - we need to speed up 2) yep, sure, you can, but this is not katana, nor oriental swordfight, in middle Europe, the swing were slower, as the weapon were heavier, and less balanced. 3) What you call a frigin pirate sword is actually what is called here a "chopper", and it was a standart weapon for the poor back in the middle ages

[OurGreedIsOurDisasta]

I was allways thinking eastern martial arts were accompanied by som eastern wisdom... You don't wield a longsword like you wield a Katana and you don't brag of to some boys that have obviously done a great job. Second ending it quickly makes a very poor show. I liked it but you necessarily have to speed up, some variation in the rythm will have a nice effect to. Good job, your better than most groups I have seen.

[alejandrotaker]

wow men you are awesome! 5 swings in 2 seconds, WOW but i want a prove.

[elendiel]

thanks =), how do you want us to prove it? There will be another video i'm sure, but i'm not sure when...

[aduma123]

that was cool liked the stick one

[RabidxPanda]

that was pretty [sic]

[TaintedPeace]

They were using those katana like fencing swords.. in a true fight with katanas, the battle is over in a few seconds and you keep both hands on the sword.

[zwaardkring]

can't you see the difference

THAT'S NOT A KATANA F*CKING RETARD

[rugged04270]

nice work... keep it up... id like to see it a little faster... and in costume tho... that'd b sick :)

[MorganCrowe]

want to see something faster? check out swordranger and what they have on offer.

[Thailandyr]

those svatobor guys are suicidal freaks...

[elendiel]

Nah, they're good :), they're taking it serious

[Thailandyr]

blocking dagger with dagger is bullshit...

[elendiel]

actually, you are right. This is just scenic swordfight for normal people to look. When we fight so that we actually fight, it's a whole different thing.

[mzombie90]

yeah elendiel´s fuckin right

[zwaardkring]

wanna bet its not ?

[Rimpala]

I love the music! o\m/

[ruzovaberuska]

Kids at play, hahaha! It´s ridiculous, I have more intense AND believable fights with my sister. Nice dancing, though:)))

[elendiel]

Well, i guess there are always going to be ppl who are bitching. A nechapu proc si davas do popisu Bhutan, kdyz mas ceskou prezdivku (for the others, this was in czech language, ruzovaberuska means pink ladybird in cz.).

[ruzovaberuska]

lol, najdi si svatobor na video.google (tak nějak), a pilnějc cvič, mladíku:)

try finding "svatobor" on google videos and practise harder:)

[elendiel]

Oukej, jasny, nejsme profici, cvicime, ale ber v potaz ze je nam 16, nemuzeme byt hned nej. a taky se teprve vyrabej kostymy. Ok, we aren't pro ofc, we practise, but you should take the fact we're only 16, and we don't have any costumes yet.

[DkGaston]

Keep it up and you guys can have jobs as stuntmen in 10 years ;-)

I like a lot of the choreography, especially for dagger.

[elendiel]

Thx :), we are trying hard, and we had a little sucess, already went to few small theatres (only for like 300 ppl).

[x0xBiancax0x]

Hey, this is pretty intense. Good job, guys! ;O

[elendiel]

Thx, man :)! I'll make another video with better quality in the future for sure :). And i think for that, I'll choose morningstar as a weapon, that looks really brutal.

[x0xBiancax0x]

I'm a girl, n00b. =P I just find swordfighting really sexy ;) lmao haha. Okay, not really, but I think it's awesome, and you're good at it! Morning stars FTW <3

[elendiel]

Ok, sorry :D! I'm the guy with the slipknot t-shirt, and army boots btw. I'll put up more videos as soon as i get a webcam, and we should do another clips of swordfighting 2morrow.

[elendiel]

sorry for the shitty quality (especially the subtitles), it's my first vid.
