My biggest respect for the man with the wooden leg! Warrior!

that one guy with the prosthetic leg, what a badass

"That is like the fifth shot you've scored to the groin." This made me laugh.

4:24 That's a great move you did, blooming smooth as heck.

Absolutely loving your style and armoured community in the US! After success of BotN historically accurate armour and techniques went to decline, but you do show the world that real armour and real technique is relevant and brutal. Please don't stop! You will always have Russian's reenactment community love and support!

"He is doing a 40 v 40 passage of arms" IE Beat the goddamn crap outta him. That sounds awesome! Count me in!

that dude with a wooden leg looks like he would fit in dark souls. 5/5

that blackened armor with the hounskull is my dream sir, my dream! keep rockin' you guys.

this is how HEMA fights should be conducted. full armor and looking for openings.

So for those that are curious, we didn't use axes or spears cuz they had broken in the first few bouts (sadly I wasn't filming by then). So we used swords and worked on pointwork (no murderstokes allowed). They had asked us not to do much of wrestling as the list was flimsy and didn't require structure for points, but being who we are we still added structure in those openings in harness, cuz that's what we do ;) Let us know what you liked about the video and if you'd like to see more of these in the future! -Reece

You guys look like you're having a blast! So much fun and great comraderie!

At the end it seemed like Reece was tripped to the ground somewhat easily and I was wondering how much of a penalty the prosthetic posses to you? It also looked like the prosthetic was purposely targeted and I wondered how often opponents target it and how often they just pretend it's like a real leg and ignore it as if it were fully functional? I really enjoyed the point work. Too bad no video with the spears and axes. Your fights always seem so much more real than what is portrayed in M1 or Battle of the Nations. I love that you use historical techniques!

Brilliant stuff, it's a wonder the medieval aristocracy ever managed to father children!!

thank you for reviving the closest to old and effective way they used to fight, though probably mundane looking for film lovers but for me, looking but it's beautiful art

Looks really fun.

I love brimmed helmets! Burgonets and szyszak are just so badass

How can you be more badass than a knight? Be a one-legged pirate knight!

You guys are doing a great job.

Seeing this a year and a half after the fact tickles me. I actually know Josh, though we've lost touch. Stayed at his house in Manhattan while interviewing for a job ages ago. Good to see he's moved into western martial arts like this. I'm lagging behind, but doing similarly, and what a way to celebrate his 40th!

I really enjoyed your video!

Awesome video guys, keep it up!!

This was really cool to see! Although I respond quite late, please do more of this. The slomo camera really helps.

Beautiful video, guys! It's nice to have some of these extended clips of guys having the chance to really go at it. Also seeing how different armor configurations (Even if not historical match ups) might've fared against each other. Also, I cringe every time I see a palm shot. Yikes. That spooks me.

Just watched this now... If what I'm about to say is upsetting you Reece in anyway I apologize but.. Imagine this scene... You r in a fight N get disarmed... But you have an Ace up your sleeve... Your prosthetic leg... Come ère ya bastards I'm fight ya with me leg!.... I mean just look at you Reece... You fight in full armor with a prosthetic leg... How more badass can you get?! Huge respect 2 you dude truly

Man armoured combat makes one hell of a noise.

That's cool to see how the longsword is used differently than no-armour style. Just a curiousity where do you buy your armours?

I know you guys work from the material recorded in the treatises which deal almost exclusively with one on one combat, but I'd love to see your take on how men at arms fought in formation on the battlefield. I'd especially love to see a video on the use of the pollaxe in formation. What techniques from the treatises do you think would work in that environment? Anyways keep the good content coming.

Once I get my full suit, maybe I'll contact you guys to a bout or two.

Awesome stuff guys! I have a question, what type of armet is Josh wearing? Do you have a date for it maybe?

The first guy. Is the mail outside of the shoulder plates? Or is he not wearing shoulder plates? Armor newb here.

Where do you get decent combat armor? I’d like late 15th German preferably with a decent sallet

what the hell do you use for daggers? are they even blunt? :D

I wonder why they didn't put the aventail under the breastplate to avoid stuff going underneath it ..reduced mobility maybe?

Why can't I do stuff like this for my birthday?

I Heard that there was a german knight who got his lower arm ripped off by cannon and replaced it with metal prosthetic but i dont remember his name

Is this HEMA? What is this called?

7:02 he is so aggressive.

Nice video and music, but give the text some outline so it can be more visible. Then it should be perfect :D

Feint instead of faint was an oopsie there in the middle of the video.

Loving the harnesses. In the UK most breastplates are very round, so make you look pudgy.

You should have ended him rightly by throwing a pommel. Sorry guys, couldn't stop myself.

Swords Look ineffektiv
