I particularly enjoyed this video. I quite like the Messer, and I always enjoy seeing good Messer use. Your Messer use was a lot more like what I read in the treatises than usual. Good binds, winds, and grapples. A lot of videos of Messer sparring I see use it more like a short saber, but you used it like a Messer. Probably my favorite video of yours in some time.

Nice sparring and commentary! Skall, you'd have liked the point system they used at National Tartan Day - 2 points for the sword arm instead of 1! Really messed up my point totals - I like a lot of belly shots and upper leg shots (used to be 3 and 2, but both were only 1)...

@Ranstone 5 жыл бұрын

Wait, two points for the sword arm, and only one for head and torso? Hmm... That seems like a recipe for bad habits... I don't want to be that guy who's pretending to be a keyboard expert, but in the sword-fighting I used to do, hand's didn't even count, as it taught people to attempt solid hits instead of relying on arm snipes. I suppose if you're hit in the hand, you're just as "Out of the fight" as if you got decapitated, but I'm still skeptical... Something tells me this is going to be my shower thoughts for the next week or so. Good food for thought...
