  • Nice video - it's good to see some high quality martial arts videos on youtube for a change. Where do you find these techniques? I've studied kenjutsu for a while now and have often wondered how to/what it would be like to defend against an opponent armed with something other than the weapons which we use (daito, shoto and tanto). If anyone can suggest any literature (e.g. axe fighting techniques), I would really appreciate it!

  • Great stuff! Love it. Almost identical to Madurese clurit(sickle) techniques that I was taught in Indonesia. Good to see the same applications were taking place in Europe in the 1500s.A truly devastating and almost clinical weapon.

  • very interesting. good job.

  • @Djemps I learned something new today. Thank you.

  • As always informative and very well done.

    Thank you

  • @antonsaidmeatloaf No, they are certainly serrated sickles. This allows the tool to better cut various grain and other plants. You can still buy a modern serrated sickle online these days. It is called a Grass Hook. There are examples of serrated sickles all through the centuries, as far back as ancient Egypt.

  • @DragonnSlayerr The continent of Africa is right across the Mediterranean from Europe, he probably traveled by boat. The Mali Empire, though winding down by the late 1500's, did a lot of trade--particularly with gold. Wealthy Africans living and traveling in and around renaissance Europe wasn't that uncommon.

  • could someone please explain the african at 0:47?

  • Beautifully done!

  • Забавно, что у Паулиса описанны типичные "крестьянские" орудия.
