  • On the left is John Clements, the director of ARMA, using a Cut & Thrust sword with a dagger to face an ARMA Senior Free Scholar using a short sword with a buckler.

  • @aerik9 Trust me. As a fencer and a Renaissance swordsmanship enthusiast, I can tell you that this is only a recreation. BTW, these are cut-and-thrust swords, not rapiers. Rapiers can only make thrusting actions.

  • @MossMaskface As far as I know, in any "real" Fight the action would have lasted no more than a few Seconds, in general. The Idea on epic and Long Fights between two People is mostly made up by Films and Movies. An those usually depict Sieges of a Castle as a Matter of Hours, at most days, whils in Reality they usually lasted for Week, Moths, Years.

  • @SorenityVids As far as I know, Rapiers almost always had sharp blades and were also used for cutting Blows. The later Smallswords tended to be more often pure thrusting-Weapons. And as late as the End of the 18th Centuries, some Fencing-Masters included Cutting-Techniques. I find it difficult to say "fencing was like this or that." It heavily depended on the School your in and the Fencingmaster.

  • katanas seem easier, yo xD

  • Aww, too short! I want to see how a rapier fight really flows....

  • SHIELD BASH.

  • are you allowed to hit the other person with the buckler?

    Also the dude wasn't using the rapier, actually reminds me of an arming sword or an estoc.

  • @SorenityVids Can't rapiers bind and wind as well (or at least just wind)? Certainly this is recreation, but it is also fencing, even if they are cut-and-thrust swords.

  • @tcreeley How is it not fencing?

  • noobs
