Lady Guard - public demonstration

Sebastian, our heroic ladyguard, protects his lady love from a ruffian attack in the castle courtyard. Gripping the sword closely he sweeps his enemies before him but he is forced to withdraw when they turn the tables with a crafty move, pushing him back enough so that the bandits spread out to surround the pair. Unfazed, the ladyguard continues to repel his lady's attackers until they realize that he will not budge, and so they cowardly run away to the cheering of the crowd.
Rules involved: Figueyredo's simple rule 10 (forwards and backwards), Godinho's rule 7, and other bits and bobs.

the coolest thing about this video is that it kinda looks like the bodyguard just swings his sword like a absolute madman but in reality he knows exactly what he is doing with probably years maybe even a decade of practice ... love it! :D also: probably the only dudes (espacially the bodyguard) that ever looked cool while wearing these puffy-pants :'D

itd be funny if originally it was some guy swinging like a madman, then they came up with the treatise to try and explain what he was doing

oh for sure, he used the longsword exactly as how it should be used: for large area defense by being in constant movement, kind of like a dance almost

Aye. Now that was a good demonstration. And the other cool thing, is that you all made it convincing by dressing up like europeans, from the old days too. Good show dudes!

I know they were going slow to be safe but to be honest there were so many openings that could have killed anytime

@SwordTune 5 жыл бұрын

Yes, but if those were real blades the attackers would not just go in for the thrust. Pain does not stop momentum, and the montante would still deliver the cut. Furthermore, if the defender had any sort of armour, a killing blow would be unreliable.

Well, nice.. but.. why would those drunkards try to kill the lady in distress anyway?

@toktar00 3 жыл бұрын

they did'nt want to kill her, if they intended to they could've probably just rushed in, but they would've died! They probably tried to kidnap her for other uses, like blackmailing, they obviously were focused on killing the guard, who obviously was superior in defending her from them, they could've maybe won, but that would've taken too much time and too much of their energy or even more!

I haven't seen much of what she's said (and I agree with some points I've heard her say while strongly disagreeing with other points), but I think she said she's fine with them when they're still able to do something (or at least attempt to do something) about their situation, like Zelda helping Link escape Ganon's Tower in Ocarina of Time, or another game (can't remember which one) where someone throws the damsel in distress a weapon to free themselves while that someone buys time by distracting the monster.
