Dude, this is stage combat. It's not supposed to be a "real" martial art, it is supposed to be dramatic and theatrical, and in that respect, it is quite good.

Got to love it when a girl can fight.

This is better fight choreography then what you see in most movies these days. o_O
Long live Bob Anderson!

I like the smallsword fight at 1:00, and the longsword fight just before it looked good.

@TheSwordGeek I agree completely. I would only add that one of the reasons (not the only reason) more historical techniques aren't used in theatrical fencing is that they're dangerous. It'll take time to figure out which ones can be done safely, and how.

Good choreography, speed and execution! And I like the variety of weapons used.

Fun choreography guys! :)

nice work! Your team looks really professional

A lot of greetings from the Czech Republic. Very nice report and great design. Good luck for the future.

Very nice- I appreciate- and rarely see- theatrical fighting this good. Good pace, good sense of drama, not as wildly ridiculous as the fighting of many groups. the shield work needs work but overall quite good. I do think that we are reaching a point in education about Historic Swordsmanship that it is time to start incorporating more Historic European Martial arts in theatrical sword-play and there were traces of that here and there but I don't know how intentional that was.

i love it !

that looks dangerous
Have to say, its very good. My only niggle would be too much emphasis on cutting with the rapiers but that's if you were pretending to do a 'accurate' 17th cent fight from ms sources.
Apart from that its got energy, pace, drama and intent. The finishing blows are also well blocked (and shot). Thumbs up from me guys and gals, highly enjoyable.
