  • I hope we´ll cross our Bokkens at 26.5. ;)

    I think I can learn a lot from you

  • Spartaner - I´m looking foreward to it !

    Invitation is out !

  • Linear fighting. Side step to create opening in your opponent.

    Range is pretty static. No "wrestling at the sword." (You can search for that term; I saw a few good vids here.)

    Not trying to spam you guys, just trying to give useful feedback.

  • rithban - tx for your feedbacks.

    Some comments - this Vid shows the first sparring, we did with Bokken vs. Longsword - we left the protections off, as no helmet or glove would stop the force of an oak bokken. To keep intention up whilst controling the weapon to not destroy the partner is more difficult, as it might look like.

  • We will stay unprotected, but will work on the foodwork and techiques - I wonder about all the

    real value adding tips coming accross - who is fighting with a bokken out there - show me your vids!?

    There might be a difference between theory and practice - I´m not shure ...

  • Whoever was using the long sword your stance is crap and your guard is even worse, whoever was using the bokken, you need to utilize the speed not your ego and seize the long swings of the long sword to disarm him..

  • xhatakeXkakashix, tx for your valid inputs, we´ll work on it. Pls be aware, that this was the first experiment in mixed sword fight, we did. More to come ...

see all

  • I hope the longsworder in this clip has learnt how to use the weapon by now, as that was absolute tripe! seemed he was using the longsword as a katana or what have you! and with zero footwork required in longsword..

  • @fenrirsget question

  • @fenrirsget yes him. :) even thouhg this was posted 2 years ago i feel the need to answer your

  • says the guy behind the Keyboard!

  • <_<

    lol

  • yes and no it depends on the erra they also had muskets

  • i always thought that samurai generally fought with spear and bow...

  • no one seems to know how to fight with a longsword anymore, they all copy what they see in movies or just make it up as they go along.

  • I do not see any pflug & vom tag fighting stance on the long sword guy... (Old German names) Thats all he needs to block attacks very easily

  • well.. too many stabs.. not much real cuts.. plus those little jumps you BOTH do every SECOND realy is annoying. try to be relax, atleast from the outside.. either then that it looked pretty good for sparring
