[FlankerVT]

sure looks dangerous.

[GydoKamst]

Ah yes, the power of the ponytail.

[sototajeri]

to win in a real swordfight without getting wounded u have to be far, far better swordsman then your opponent, if opponents are almost equal there is a great chance that they will kill each other, that is why swordfighting sucked, you train all your life and then some mediocre swordsman cuts off your foot

[torre11275]

the "pure german style" tecnics ere very complicated in a real fight but very beauty to see like a demomostration...

Great display of skill and training! and it does look like real combat steel.but i trust that is was not sharp :p.and it shows how frekin dangerous swords are..and long hair just makes it so much more awesome xD great vid.

These are katas, strike and counter, used in training. Practicing them builds the warrior's skill in many ways. In combat you'd see much more improvisation. These techniques are strikingly similar to Asian arts. It's a matter of form following function, based on the specific and limited ways any weapon can be used, no matter the tradition. What you don't see here is a lot of clashing of swords, but movement that uses the opponent's force against him, as in Iaido, Aikido, and Tai Chi Jian.
