The guy with the shield kinda failed as he could have disarmed that axeman =)
The traditional round shield was made with intent so it would easily break, so the enemy weapon would get stuck in it. Then there were the shields for bigger fights, those would take a real beating and not break.

@tarrkoc Because it was hilariously bad, that's why.

@skallagrimm well it seems that you guys truelly have no fear you never back down and you learn that through experience i guess (i've been doing this for a while too but then with wooden weapons too bad i quit) and we were always like watch out with that damn spear man:P but great that you do this man truelly respect you guys

Really excellent stuff! As a writer trying to understand just what sword and shield combat would look like, this has been immensly helpful.

Love the Dane Axe! I'm a spearman myself. Great respect to you guys, if I only had a "life" and actually knew people/had friends that would be interested in this, I'd form my own group or look to join one. Indiana is just way to boring.

what makes you say that? Because they were laughing....?
Actually that is more of a nervous reaction.

looks cool, but the watchers are stupid, because the laugh... Don't they understand that this was a quite real fight and everytime one of these Man would have been dead??
The equipment is really impressive! Respect!

Greetings to you!
Thanks man. Oddly enough some of the laughter is of the nervous kind. We see it at many of our shows, where folks just don't know how to react to screaming, crazy, axe and sword wielding madmen.... so they laugh at the littlest things to take away the 'scary feelings'.

Alas, would that not be cool?!?! We're actually in the middle of the U.S. Landlocked on all sides, yet still as 'Viking' at heart as you guys. Perhaps one day we'll make it over to Norway. Thanks for the comments!!
