Big thanks to Ludwig Ronquist. He is a master of sounds!

@@dequitemOh! That's great. Thanks for the reference. I just checked him and he is indeed awesome!

Instant subscription. This content is king and helping me stay inspired for my RPG game.

@@Filthee_casualwhat rpg are you playing?

Have to be in Europe though, won't make sense if in the Americas.

@@TriforceOfTheGods80 ghost can travel cant they?

​​@@NilsNonethat'd make a fun story. Ghosts of famous warriors traveling across the world to fight new ghosts or something. Make a good comedy

They would also see the cameraman and crew, shrug, and keep walking.

This is how daggers are born, but with lots of care plus little time and luck it'll grow to be a sword. Isn't nature beautiful?

Looks just like me and my ex wife, especially when the knife came out at the end

Bro knows the code

@@jessebridgeman767 I’m a swordsman of course I know the code

@@juanpardo9547 if only more people did; only 75% sarcastically but overall yeah I definitely think legal dueling could prevent a LOT of issues both socially and legally. Not to the death, but to an agreed upon goal

@@jessebridgeman767 it’s kind of funny but practicing swordsmanship actually keeps me calmed and looking for solutions that don’t require violence in fact actively avoiding violence.

@@juanpardo9547 that's my entire point. People who understand violence avoid it if possible. Literally Sun Tzu- "There is no instance of a nation benefiting from prolonged warfare" That includes engaging in violence to begin with.

Thanks.

They can't exactly bludge in the opponent over the head with all their strength

@@Mysterious.Entity Well they could if they were actually trying to kill one another. Polearms were used specifically because even the greatest helmet and armor isn't going to completely stop the concussive blows from heavier weapons. You hit someone in the head enough times, even with a helmet on it's going to have unpleasant results for the victim. Hell you manage to get a good strike at the clavicle (that juncture between the neck and shoulder that's typically protected by mail rather than plate so as to allow for flexibility) and you could break it - broken clavicle means they drop their weapon and the fight's over.

@@jowolf2187 It is exactly because blunt force can be damaging to an armored opponent that they wouldn't use it in friendly combat thanks for the detailed comment though

​@@Mysterious.Entity pole arms are often not allowed in HEMA tournaments due to the high potential of injury. Even a rubber one via leverage can be devastating.

Ive been training a few different martial arts and noticed a lot of the movements they were using when they were locked together was similar to techniques you'd find in judo and muay thai. Can you imagine doing either of those disciplines in a full plate of armor?

yeah these guys are trained this is just what fighting in armour is like. it isn't pretty. it's brutal.

I thought he would win until he got shanked in the neck

That's similar to a Judo move named Osoto gari. Although his form was far from perfect (likely untrained, and probably not easy to do in full plate anyways).

​@@cfbanHis form was perfect foe this situation. You have to remember there are new leverage points from given that they locked eachothers weapons up. You have a lot more ability to throw someone die to having the weapon to pull/push on than having to grab some part of their body

@@GunShocka I still disagree. During the throw, his left arm is left behind, which makes his leverage much weaker independently on whether he is pushing his opponent's chest, neck, arm or polearm. His left arm should be aligned with his shoulder and torso, regardless of where the leverage point is. This is a common mistake by people who are not experienced in throws. He's also making a left-handed throw. Maybe he is experienced but right-handed. Even experienced right-handed people struggle with left-handed throws sometimes.

@@cfban I think you missed the part that they have their weapons locked. His left arm stayed in the lock to guarentee that his opponent cannot free his weapon. Also this throw is perfect for HEMA cause you are thinking of a throw from the perspective of fighting as using a throw as a main form of comabat. Most HEMA throws are done in a way that look incomplete since they are worried about a weapon. He ensured the weapon stayed locked until he got him to the ground where it would be virtually rendered useless. I am familiar with throws but i also am familiar with using leverage of a staff to throw people and if you are trying to prevent the use of one you have to modify it a bit. Throw in hot and weighty armor and you arent gonna be doing throws textbook. Hence, why i say his throw was perfect for this exact circumstance

Thanks. I take this compliment!

That's memories In your DNA

I don't even know what these fighters look like, yet there is more dramatic tension in this short than any fight scene from GoT.

The King movie on Netflix did pretty good by Hollywood standards

😍

naw 💀

Probably pretty common when both fighters are in full plate

😂😂😂

unironically? why does everyone use that word these days.

@@alphawolfgang173 because everything is hidden under a layer of irony

@@bug_under wheres the irony in some guys practicing some medieval combat?

@@alphawolfgang173 Nowhere, i was referring to my own comment, "this is epic". That phrase is outdated and people usually use it ironically so i felt the need to clarify

Your ancestors was a little bit coward, even protect their face with metal

@@celalvatandas5402they did that so they could charge bowmen head on. they were playing role of tank. also they fought other armies with armoured knights.

​@@celalvatandas5402that's like saying using guns in war is cowardly you have to adapt to the enemy arsenal not adopting new technology will lead to your demise you should always be more advanced in terms of millitary tech than your enemies if you want to beat them with minimal losses

​@@celalvatandas5402Homie, they used rocks in the stone age like cowards too, huh. 😂

​@@celalvatandas5402 🤡

😂😂😂 Many historical waraxes had a spike or a hammer at the other end, so thermologicaly it's a poleaxe!

@@dequitem Would you say that some pole hammers would have an axe head on the other side? xD I am just messing. I love your content dude.

@@Cragmortis then swing it around and it becomes a poleaxe once more :)

🤣

Yes, actually. The medievals weren’t too picky about names.

Based.

@@orangearrow6564 No one said it was. You’re the one making it a competition.

May I remind you of the roman centurians

⁠​⁠@@kriegsmanofthethsiegeartillery trying to compare a Roman legionnaires to medieval knights is like comparing a Sherman tank to a m1 Abrams

@@__mindflayer__ I was talking in terms of badassery

Remember, switching to your dagger is faster than reloading!

Especially in life or death situations. Humans are naturally grapplers, our hands and muscles are designed to help us hold stuff for long periods of time very tightly. Sure we can get good at throwing punches and kicks but our biology really shines when it comes to grappling. Something even untrained people do instinctively in fights is to try and restrain the opponent by grabbing their arms or legs while trying to push them over, its instinctual and highly effective against people who might not know how to slip or reverse.

Grippers ​@@titanmasterxd6329

Indeed. We have sometimes to walk many kilometers with the film equipment, armor, weapons, drinks and have no help. Only us two!

This is high level with both over 3000 hours ingame!

Thanks.

The game?

@@deantheperfect Yep. It's freaking hilarious.

These are all historical moves!

Thousands even

Not always, but often.

Awwww ❤️

Yes you are often wrong but to keep it simple it's okay and even me sometimes argue with that. Swords were used as a second weapon after using your spear, but most of the time u use the sword longer and more often than other weapons. So is it really a secondary?
