Archaeologist Ingo Petri and myself have been friends for more than 20 years. See a compilation of some of our recent practice fights on the occasion of an event at the Langobardenwerkstatt Zethlingen in late May 2022.

Harder is it not? GREAT TO SEE YOU GUYS. I am South Paw and was into MMA (as they call it now) for 40 years before retiring. Yea real old man and my bones/body ache terribly, but its so nice to watch you people spar. Brings a smile to my face.

Great to see your still posting !

Am endlich! Es ist wunderbar dir zu wiedersehen, mein Freund!😀

My brother is Left-Handed so I grew up fighting a left-handed opponent.

I'm left-handed, but I train with both hands. Going left against right feels so awkward, but it's interesting to pose as a beginner who doesn't know how to hold his equipment right and then surprise the opponent :)

Oh my, finally another video in dimicator channel 🤩 that's so good!

I remember fondly my first Berlin Buckler bout about five years ago, where I had the pleasure of fencing with Ingo.

Good to see you back Roland

Great stuff as always!

Very good to have a new video from you, hope all is well

Thank you.

Lovely video Roland! good showcase of a nice sparring!

Been a wile thanks for posting.

Great to see videos again! How common where lefties back then? I assume they weren't too popular on a battle field since they could mess up certain formations. I could just hear them, "Bjorn is left handed? Give him a two handed axe!"

my brother is 8 years older than me, he's lefty (as is my mom).

Great LARPing! I love Viking Tai Chi!

Great sparring!

Lovely exchanges :)
