we're familiar with half-sword techniques as well, problem is that you can easily hurt your opponent with guided stings

by the way - I would like to see serious videos from some other swordfights, but haven't found any so far

[steviegriffin]

fighting with anything that's not steel isn't the same experience, we (and history) calls this kind of fighting SKS - Schwertkampf schwer (could be translated als heavy swordfighting, due to the heavy armor you wear - on the other side there's Blossfechten, which is without any armor)

[BigDummy23]

Not bad. The form is actually not bad compared to a lot of SCA and LARP stuff you see online, and it looks like you are doing free-form sparring at fairly high speed. Definately a bit more WMA training is in order. Are you using steel blunts and if so, are they heavier than they are supposed to be? You might want to try aluminum. What WMA master or school are you studying?

well we are using "authenic" swords, there was definitely no aluminium used in the 14th century ;) but thanx anyways. our club is called the Soldknechte Compania Carantania, we're from austria, europe. Our training is based on books from ohannes Liechtenauer, , Hans Talhoffer, Codex Wallerstein, i33, and others. our hompage is www.soldknechte.at (sry only german), the hp of our trainer is www.schwertkampf.at.tf we buy our weapons at www.outfit4events.com - they weight about 2,5kg (~5pounds)

Very nice looking armour. The fighting is pretty messy, but can appreciate how hard it must be to do with style when weighed down by all that armour.

[steviegriffin]

thanks for your comment - Yes the fighting is messy indeed because its a real fight, not a showfight (which certainly would look more like in the movies - even with 50 pounds / 25kgs armour ;) )

the armour is from http://www.outfit4events.com/i­ndex.php?main_page=medieval_in­fo&cPath=26_27&products_id=314

it's nice but not very cheap . . .

[Davidthe29directors]

really excellent.Where did you learn.Can you look at mine ?

[StationeryMan]

Great to see someone making a kettle helm look good 8) As one who wears a similar amount of armour (mines mostly splint and coat of plate) I know how hard it is to keep a fight going that long and with such intensity. great job!

[Skioppi]

wow the armors are fuckin good!!! and both the fighters were awesome!!!

[lilmanual]

Hey! Awesome video! Could you take a look at our theater groups fights?

Thanks much!

It's not the same as with steel, but you can really go full force and full speed with relative safety. Practicing in this manner, you'll quickly notice that a real fight is over in a matter of seconds.

The video looked okay though! Keep on practicing!
