  • This is Thrand!!!!

    Awesome Techniques!!!!

  • Ye gods. This is a technique for SINGLE COMBAT. A shield wall is not single combat. Lots of people used shields like this, not just the vikings, particularly the Anglo-Saxons and the Franks, who left manuscript evidence indicating that shields were used like this in the Early Medieval period. Again, read Wagner and Hand's articles.

    As for the rest of the rant, please go read some decent history books.

  • Que? Yeah...I felt like being different from everyone.

  • wo übt ihr sowas ?! besser gesagt wo kommt ihr her ? ;)

  • how large are the rounds you are using

  • Man was ein schund!

    Ist doch schwachsinn.

  • If I've read this title correctly, then these techniqueswere recorded by Talhoffer in the C15th so no point trolling about them. Though it would have odd to write about Vikign techniques in the C15th.

    That aside, great video!!!

  • Moving the shield across your entire body is waste of movement also, you should be more focused on pinning your oppents sword arm with a shield edge. If I see somone cover their eyes 99% they are dead.

  • when you bring your shield across your eyes your making yourself very vunerable

  • Sollte man das Überkreuzen der Arme beim Runschildkampf nicht vermeiden?

  • @Aeldwulf der schild deckt in diesem Fall die Art deines Angriffs! ich verberge damit wie ich mit dem Schwert angreife...

  • Warum sollte man den Schild derart schräg über sich halten, anstatt seinen Körper damit zu decken? Verstehe ich nicht diese "Technik". Welchen Sinn hat die?

    Halte ich meinen Schild am Köper, sind doch alle im Vid gezeigten "Techniken" für den Eimer.
