Where do you all go to school? Or what is the designated class? Also, i noticed there are virtually no heavy set people that do this, Is there a weight requirement to participate? Also, i love the hand to hand combat fight when she smacks you in the face with her elbow... its great.

East 15 Acting School. And as for build, its all down to who applies and who gets in, so no there are no physical requirements per se, execpt that large or small you must be able to undergo fairly intense physical training.

is there a way to make simple sword fighting look really amazing. me and my friends are making a movie involving swords, but we want stuff to be easy for us to remember because of GCSE's and stuff. So is there a way of making simple sword fighting look good?

[jgolby]

Have messaged you, hope it helps. Best of luck.

Is This at East 15 Acting school?!

[jgolby]

Yes.

[Niohimself]

They've got a Ph.D in Badassery!

Skall. Uh. I think you're missing the point. I'm pretty sure they're part of an acting class that teaches choreography? It's not trying to be REAL combat. Its supposed to be entertaining...

[GamingGenius]

Out of all the vids in this series, this one is my absolute favorite, HANDS DOWN!

[Fuffuloo]

Will do!

[skallagrimm]

... um, see where it says my username... "skallagrimm"? you do know that you can click on it and see for yourself what we do, right?

[Fuffuloo]

I'm not being condescending. I think I misunderstood. Do you do like, historical re-ennactments? By what you've said, it sounds like it isn't choreographed, but authenticated with armor and full clothing. When you said live, I was under the impression that you meant improvised, or just a "real" fight. Fights like that can be amazing and entertaining in their own right, and if that's what you do, then I'm sure it is. However, when some people say live, they mean12year-olds swinging wooden sticks.

[skallagrimm]

Usually that might be the case for the live fights you've seen, but you haven't seen ours live. We are NOT in competition with one another and are putting on a show for the public. Who, by the way, have always been very vocal to us about how much they appreciate and enjoy our demonstrations....

.... shows how much you think you know, I guess.

[Fuffuloo]

Choreographed fights are supposed to be entertaining to others, while live fights are more entertaining to the competitors.

[skallagrimm]

Yeah, I get that. What I do is also entertainment, but it's done live and in actual clothing and armor used at the time....

[skallagrimm]

It looks cool and all with all the pretty poses thrown in, but it is all choreographed combat. Do any of you ever try just fighting one another? You know, like LIVE?

Oh, and have you ever tried pretty little turns and fancy footwork in armor,... or at least in historic clothing?

LOL!

The guy at 00:35 looked like he was on drugs and some guy just randomly punches him
