We hit a LOT harder and faster than latex Larp swords can handle.

you sound like a bel player that has never been on an amt field. Come play with us once, i will gladly use a flat, or a omni and play by whatever rule set you like.

Wow I love dag badies. Only a dag meathead would say some stupid shit like that

[fuckinghellmate]

Great info, but far too quiet. I love watching vids of Dalos teaching.

I just got a greatsword recently (a fellow amtgard player gave it to me because i was a natural with it.) The only problem is that i have only been playing for 4 weeks and i would like to see videos of how the greatsword is against other weapons. Possibly even some training videos. I do not want to be one of those players who ever looks clumsy with a great-weapon. thank you.

only bad part of this video is that its so quiet i cant eat my cherios at the same time =(

@thanson77 I'm actually a Amtgarder that's been around for YEARS.. I was referring to EFKA's (now deleted) comment. I was only taking vid of the local sca peeps fighter practice a while back. If you like some 'funny' vid's check out my "Uncle Arties Ironman" video with the one and only Arthon, filmed at a Neverwinter coronation a loooooooooooong while back :-)

We have a lot of cross gamers in amtgard. Eventually peeps get to a point where they want to swing a piece of wood at people. Cool beans. Once you adjust to the head shots and slower reaction time due to equipment (yours and theirs)it's pretty chill all in all, but we are all bound by newtonian physics after all.

[storyteller164]

@thanson77 - I would think it's obvious by the videos I have shot that I do / have done both. I can tell you for sure that top fighters in SCA are easily as fast as Amtgard, and the reverse works as well.

I can also reasonably predict that you will post some childish "I know you are / what am I" post and try to claim victory / expertise. I would say the videos speak for themselves.

@storyteller164

I have. It's way slower. Good body mechanics can overcome a lot of the clumsiness of fighting in list legal armor with dense rattan, but you still aren't moving as fast as good amtgard fighting. I suggest you hit up an amtgard field and tell me how "fast" your Heavy list SCA fighting is.

[storyteller164]

@thanson77 - I suggest you watch more SCA fight videos. Or better yet, get to an SCA heavy practice, put some armour on and then tell me how "slow" SCA fighting is.

@wjohanw

There's NOTHING fast about SCA combat. We pad the weapon instead of the person and hit just as hard. Good block/strike on your SCA vid though.
