I am in ARMA; the weapons are far from heavy! Unless you think 2 or 3 lbs is heavy?

Also they do that sound (Huuh! Hungh! Huh! Hng!) is because is to relies energy; well you know like in most Martial Arts do

He can go quite a bit faster, trust me. He's moving slower for the video.

@UrielSemptim This guy wrote books about sword fencing techniques. And they are widely used.

@AngelOfTheLastHope @UrielSemptim He's overdoing a cutting drill of some sorts. Indeed, like that he wouldn't be of much use, but I think he does know better than that in a fight.

[AngelOfTheLastHope]

@UrielSemptim Totally agree with that, he wouldn't last 2 seconds in a fight. When you strike you must stop before your blade is on your side, if you continue your movement like he does, you're defenceless...

I'm sorry, but this isn't combat training. It's dancing... so horribly wrong cuts and thrusts. It's good looking crap... not martial art. Have you ever seen longsword fencing manuscript? I guess not, because you'll never find this too long attacks in them.

i like the video, but idk about your description... if im not mistaken John is doing a florysh. if you really want to show ppl, post videos of sparring matches or the 8 cut drills or something like that
