Theese are nice videos... but why in each and every demonstration, the weapon techniques for which are being demonstrated is asumed to be used against the same kind of weapon?

[MEMAG]

Thank you. We are re-creating specific techniques from the historical fencing books, most of which deal with like-weapons usage. This seems to mainly be due to the rules of the judicial duel, which require like-weapons for each combatant. However, there are some techniques that deal with mismatched weapons, and we'll be doing a video on them eventually...

[WolfsWinter]

So much just became clear to me.

Thank you for the demonstration.

And where did you get your weapons from?

[MEMAG]

Thank you.

There swords we use in this video are from "Arms and Armor" and "Albion Swords".

[DruidArena]

You are a rare and precious commodity. Not to mention few know that the term martial arts can refer to arts outside of the orient. My respects.

[MEMAG]

Thanks!

i personally take an eastern style of sword, but it's great to see how the western styles are just as effective and fascinating to watch, Please keep up the good work

@Aimjiel : These writings were not made by anyone living recently. They are genuine teachings of of Meyer and many other Masters of their time.

[Halofreakanoid]

@Aimjiel : Yes, but back then masters of popularity gained credibility through their own and their disciples' accomplishments, not simply through saying that they are the best or effective. The strong lived, and the weak died.

where are the updated interpretations?

[mojothemigo]

@Aimjiel And I suppose you know all about affective fighting with a late medieval/Renessaince long swords? You're right, there are bad MA and there was bad MA, but I would like to see and hear how you know that this is bad technique

Excellent Video! Glad to see proud European traditions being kept alive! One thing I noted, however was the tendency both of the fighters had to leaning away when the attack came in. As a martial artist of five years, this raised a red flag with me, as keeping your spine aligned is vital to the strength of any stance. In any case, I absolutely love this video!

[MerlinsJester]

Ach, this is brilliant. German swordplay, obviously.

Do you have Zweihander videos?
