the training fight at the beginning of Kingdom of Heaven, pls.

Here's a very niche one: Sir Francis Haddock vs Red Rackham in Adventures of Tintin. It may be a Saber/Cutlass fight but still

Please review that time you opened up my boyfriends hand, he's available for interviews ❤

I am indeed. Hoping to comeback to the sweet embrace of KZfaq a lot more regularly now the little one is a bit bigger.

@@KnightSquire glad you're back

Thanks mate, been working on a big one for a while, hopefully be finished soon. :D

@@KnightSquire Can't wait!! Still need a cutting video! :P

Yes, and I've known a few superb longsword practitioners go along to popular light saber groups. It's interesting, but obviously a very very different practice. A human moving a sword shaped weapon is obviously limited in scope to the degree where there is of course some cross over. But in my experience they don't have the know how, physical skill or experience to fence with most intermediate longsword fencers in full sparring conditions. Their lack of hand protection alone leads to a variety of rules or behaviours that do not apply. It's a cool, fun, very visual thing to practice... but if someone wanted to fence well (as in as we believe swordman would have conducted themselves with these weapons when they were used), practice Historical fencing. To be clear, I'm not condemning them, lots of things can have some parallels to historical swordsmanship, like LARPing probably does. But even if a lightsabers club curriculum borrows more from historical sources than the films, or lightsabers forms... The weapon is different, the conditions are different, and the protection is different.
