Anthony came back to teach Brian and Jason how to wield a rondel dagger, because somehow they manage to hurt themselves less with that than they do with locks, whips, barrels, blocks of sealant, and countless other things.

The main use of the rondel dagger was to grapple a heavily-armored opponent to the ground, get him on his back, then pound the dagger (like a chisel) through a gap in his armor, such as his eye hole, or at the gap at the neck. "Rondel" means "disk" or "plate," which is the thing at pommel end, and was designed to be flat so you could hammer the dagger in with your other hand, a tool, or by lying on top of it. They had to use a rondel to defeat a fully armored knight because even a longsword is largely ineffective against full plate armor. You can bang on him all day and cause no damage. But full armor is so heavy that falling down poses a major problem, in that you can't get back up. [EDIT: Not easily, anyway!] The rondel is not optimally designed to be a stand-up melee weapon.

Not sure how practical it would be, but could you maybe do a few episodes on the art of oration/speaking? Maybe find a professional speech writer or something to guide you through how to capture people's attention/sound like you know what you're talking about/perhaps charm your beloved? All the episodes about nun-chucks and swords are fun and great, but some of the best episodes you folks have put out are the ones that can be applied to everyday lives so easily with minimal start-up costs(IE: Many of your episodes with the Beerists/Trever/Daniel that help day-drinkers be more classy when they get hammered). Just another idea for you to put in the queue: I like to think many people would love the idea of learning how to command attention at the bar, stick out among their peers in work/school, or simply seem a bit more well-spoken.

I know all about Scam School- been subscribed for the past couple years and I don't regret it- and it definitely covers how to stick out in a crowd, and many episodes incorporate a lot of science and psychology. What I'm thinking of is more being able to command a room or control a conversation, all the while knowing any sort of cues/buzz-words that might make you seem to be a charismatic person. Hell, I wouldn't mind an episode on the Rogues learning how to give a damn fine public speech!

When I used to box, I noticed it’s always easier to wait for the opponent to strike, counter the strike, gain control then start doing damage. I won a fist fight this way as well. Watching these guys with daggers seems like that’s exactly how a dagger/knife fight would go, wait for them to strike, control that arm and go in for the damage. Also if everyone adopted this technique, nobody would strike first and hopefully at all anyways =)

This is definitely for use against armored opponents. Don't forget the average person back then had very thick, rough clothes, or gambeson which is basically medieval Kevlar. The thick rondel blades and ice pick grip were honestly necessary in order to pierce or chisel through armor and padding. Today, this technique and style of blade is kinda silly. No one wears thick clothing, not even our modern winter gear is comparable to what people wore in the middle-ages. Today, a regular grip on a smaller but sharper blade is MUCH more effective against unarmored foes. In the time a person can land one of these big, downward ice pick grip blows, even a novice can stab you 10 times in the gut in just a few seconds, or slash your arms and wrists open if you try to push them. You can be much more aggressive with a standard grip too, and accurate.

What was said at the beginning about the messer sword is only partially true, while it is true that the hilt of a messer is built like that of a knife instead of that of a sword, it's not because back then carrying swords was illegal. In fact, in medieval Germany - where the messer originated from - it was actually outlawed to *not* carry a weapon. There is a lot of mystery surrounding the messer, and especially why it co-existed with the falchion, a weapon practically the same, but with a sword handle instead of a knife handle. But people think that it has to do with guilds, and the rules thereof; if you had a sword guild, you could only make swords. But, if you had a knife guild, and just made the knife longer, suddenly you can make both knives and "swords". The German word messer also directly translates to knife I highly recommend watching Shadiversity's video series on the falchion and messer, it's really interesting and provides a lot of commonly unknown information that's really quite awesome KR -Link

I'm a martial artist with over 12 years experience and in those 12 years I did Krav Maga. In Krav Maga we did knife fighting and it was similar to rondel fighting, one of the few differences was where the instructed in the video was being super picky on the technique being hyper precise and perfect my teacher emphasized on always thinking on the go so where one of them would lock the other up and get them to the ground that was good because from that position you could either dispatch your opponent or run and flee. All things considered this was an amazing video

2:53 No, Brian. Mechanical differences in how something operates is not the same as what they were describing where "big knife does not equal sword because reasons". It's not semantics. It's mechanics. And yes, that includes bump stocks. Not the same as fully automatic. (Not a political statement. This is a statement from someone who just graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and doesn't like it when people I enjoy watching spreading what, in my opinion, are mis-characterizations of things in the field I've been studying for the past 5+ years. Also, potentially entering a job designing firearms.) Just figured I'd throw this out there in case you read comments from a year and a half old video XD

Hey look i'll continue the trend of late replies by saying that I largely agree with the bump stock conclusion you've drawn, but a sword being slightly shorter with a different pommel was simply their way of getting around the semantics of the law at that time. Lindybeige did a neat little video on the subject and the rise in popularity of the messer to fight the law that prohibited the carrying of swords. They took advantage of the ambiguous definition of the sword and knife to be allowed to carry the messer, as it technically under the law was considered a knife whereas any layman would consider it a sword. They didn't carry the messer because it was mechanically different than a sword, they carried it for the opposite reason actually. For this reason its definitely within scope to say that the messer being called a knife was simply a clever use of semantics to stick it to the law at the time.
@gre8

To add a little bit to a very niche and technical topic, the knife/sword divide is not one easily distinguishable. Mostly it comes down to size, really. Functionally messers (the weapons discussed here) are swords. Messers may be single edged, but so are Katanas and Sabres, and we'd be hard pressed to find someone who would not consider them swords. Another point often made is that Messer hilt construction (handle scales riveted to tang) was different than what was commonly done with swords (tang inserted through handle and pommel and peened at the end). But, then again, other sword handles such as the kilij are built like messers and no one would consider them knives because of it. It seems that the messer/sword divide stems from medieval guild laws, which separated sword guilds from knife guilds, giving them effective monopolies over the production of each article, and not weapon carrying laws. However, knife making techniques can be scaled to the size of swords, and knife guilds began to make them bigger and bigger, pushing the boundaries of regulations. Messers became popular (they were sought after by nobility and peasantry alike) weapons, and sword guilds and knife guilds had to compromise. Sword makers would often provide blades for knifemakers, for example. In the end, messers and swords were just two different styles of swords, fit to personal user preferences. They may inherit the name "messer" from the bureaucratic nature of medieval guild laws, but, it doesn't make them anything less than a sword.

Daggers (and knives in general) -absolutely- have defensive capabilities, especially against an opponent who is also wielding a knife/dagger. The most common and effective being when it is gripped, point down, and used to stab. It forms a natural sort of 90 degree angle which you can catch with your blade and wrist, and use that momentum to manipulate your opponent's position, wrist lock them, and even perform a take down with them off-balance.

The reason they used to bash with the pommel of dagger so much is simple - the system was designed around the idea of fighting an armoured opponent, and by bashing his face with a pommel you could either throw his helmet off, open its visor or hurt his actual face depending on what style of helm he's wearing.

almost all of the super successful tech types dropped out of college to pursue a more important goal that ended up making them billions, so no i was not being sarcastic. but i'm not saying get out of school right away either.

Just a disclaimer: The cases where someone gets super rich from dropping out of school are pretty rare, so its pretty optimistic to think that it will happen to you if you drop out, and downright stupid to not have a backup plan should your one-in-a-million plan fail.
