Great video. The music really pushes it. Couldn't make out the name of the band that sing it. Can you tell me?

[theRenowned]

Glad to oblige! The band is 'Vega', the song is called 'Live By the Sword' and it can be downloaded from Peoplesound.

I like the song. I dig the whole thing :)

so what s your point? we dont fight to kill but to simulate, experience and learn medieval sword fighting, so do you. neither of us uses real weapons to injure and kill (and why wld one???). men used wooden batons to train at least since the roman empire. anyways, my point is: just let people be. as long as we do not LIVE and FIGHT in medieval circumstances, including their logistics, medical care, religious beliefs etc etc anything WE do is a SIMULATION. slimag ;-)

Of course we have blunt weapons, but real weapons, real steel! And fight is in full contact. Like boxing match just witch weapons. And we using only historical protection, and clothes!

[martinmercenary]

oh yeah and your are sooooo brave and cunning using reeeeal steel weapons. may i ask: anyone ever got hurt? or - godforbid - killed? then, my dear sir, you are not fighting. you pretend to reenact as we do, either by fake blows, choreography or blunt weapons. if you say you are using real weapons in a real fight to the death you must be very brave indeed, brave, illegal and nuts. btw: WE in europe, ie the SCA (drachenwald), too, or do we find jersey, channel island in NY?

@Radiator95; Glad you like it. I had a blast, and it was a real pleasure to be working with theRenowned on the filming. The man's a genius..

[Radiator95]

I must've seen this video about 10 times now and i really love your kit guys, great work!

[landmine21]

I'm 16, and just got kind of into Amtgard, then I heard there was an SCA group near me, so I'm REALLY interested in this. But I don't think I can play until I'm 18, but I'm going to try and learn how to craft weapons and armor for them for when I do turn 18. Any advice?

[kazama333]

In Europe we using sword and axes, not stick like this!

Anyway 14

[Adam Lawrence]

Yes. If you watch the whole video you will see Master Terefan being interviewed in persona. :)
