Friendly fight sword vs. axe at "Ritter in München"

On "Ritter in München 2008" a scotsman with axe asked me for a little training-fight against me and my sword.
Well it was a lot of fun.
Greetings to the scotsman - I´m sorry I´ve forgotten his name :-(

recorded was the video by a member ("LeifThorallsson") of the viking-reenactment-group I belong to (www.walaskjalf-sippe.de)

oh - it´s not a SHOW-fight, but a "real-fight-training", although i didn´t fight to hard as he had said he has not so much experience...
So we fought with soft Hits, and after every Hit we got apart, confirmed the Hit and i explained to him, how he could do it better (as almost every Hit was made by me)

Ich seh schon, ich muss echt mal jemanden bitten, ein paar neue, aktuelle Videos vom richtigen Training in unserer Gruppe zu machen, wenn wir da zu den Freikämpfen übergehen - da geht´s dann schon bisserl anders zu ;-)

die Snitte auf den Kopf solten nich gelten weil er einen Helm mitt Kettenschutz hat dadurch kann man nicht schneiden, und das waren sehr swache treffer........

@kolotiti:

In einem richtigen Kampf geben ich Dir da vollkommen recht, allerdings waren die "Treffer" zum einen nicht auf Kopf, sondern auf Schulter (Codex Belli) wenn Du genau hinschaust, und zum anderen war es ein Probekampf zum beschnuppern mit einem ursprünglichen Larper, der seine neue "echte" Waffe mal ausprobieren sollte - warum sollte ich da also "hart" zuschlagen? Ging mehr drum zu zeigen "und da wär ich drin" (haben ja auch keine Treffer gezählt ;-) )

@ Vendetta: well it was a dirty little axe, in hand´s of a experienced fighter a quick and dirty bitch ;-)

@ Alex:

Well - Crossguards are necessary because not everybody used a gauntlet and a crossguard always always a good protection in addition, and I prefer blades with CG - on the other hand, there are some techniques even in early times, where a CG is at last usefull, if not, like in some later techniques necessary (talhoffer for example)

But with the round and the straight CGs - that´s indeed interesting - seem´s like I´ve something to compare ;-)

[MartinDeRakovszky]

Well - you weren't there and haven't seen the whole fight...

and funny thing, too - I'm also teaching some years by now - and - all my regular pupils became good Fighters untill now...

And - he wasn't a pupil of mine but a LARPer who wanted wanted to try it... - and if you watch and listen carefully, you'll hear, that I'm giving him advices on what he's doing wrong...
