RezHD // TV & Movie Edits i liked the vocals

this is art. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/edRjabOTneCXqX0.html

I would have recommended rounin kenshin the live action. Since you know its based on proper techniques of sword fighting :D fights. I think this is epic but IF I WERE PICKY I would say it's the art of movie sword fighting.... JUST SAYING. But I liked it, good video.

Watched this while high....so beautiful....please do a nostalgic one....like old Kung Fu movies

RezHD // TV & Movie Edits Check out the duelist and rob roy. Most of the sword fights in these movies and shows have been roundly analyzed and mocked by HEMA practitioners. No offense cuz the video is beautiful and very well done. I enjoyed it.

yeah, it has almost nothing to do with real sword fighting, it's more like choreographed sword dancing than anything.

Nick Mavrodiev And how does “real” sword fighting works?,since I guess you know? Cause I think soldiers back then trained their sword skills. They dont just swing around randomly, or they’ll easily get killed. This can be accurate, but not in the modern world, because who even have a sword in their house and practice?

@@UnKnown-ig6gn Of couse we can never know how to exactly recreate it or whether our assumptions are correct, but in HEMA we at least believe that we can come quite close to the european traditions in some respects. Just search for "HEMA swordfighting" on KZfaq if you are interested. :D

@Bacons Strip Then you must have watched the wrong videos, my friend ^^. The thing with Hema is that since it is a pretty much unregulated activity everyone can do it and publish their fencing no matter whether they have any idea about body mechanics or not. In addition to that the still young "high level" tournament scene in HEMA is pretty much the only context where you will see people training for explosivity and speed. A Fencer focusing on reconstriction, as many are, will often not really care how fast or strong or structurally sound his moves are. There is a big divide in differing skill in HEMA and I understand it can be offputting for someone who has much experience with a similar but solely competitive activity. :D Addendum: I'd suggest watching some of Martin Fabian's content on KZfaq. It's pretty well produced at least.

The Troja fight is the most realistic. They studied the fighting styles, you can see that in the behind the scene videos.

You may want to check ancient polish movie "The Deluge" from 1974.There sabre fight scene between Kmicic and Wołodyjowski. To this very day I'm impressed by it.

Honestly, I have watched that fight so many times. It's my favourite fight in cinema.

It’s fucking stupid and disgusting how the guy aims his saber slash at his saber on the floor instead of at him directly

@@Gadget-Walkmen Yel

It was a phantom menace

@@Gadget-Walkmen is it se sort defence or something is he going for toe. He's also wide fucken open here.

@@Mucis bad joke but thankfully that didn’t happen IN a phantom menace at all in the slightest. That film was bad enough as it was and we didn’t need any worse sword play.

Agreed he takes everyone on

He is the sword

@@Gadget-Walkmen I'm pretty sure, even Hector's spear didn't want to mess with Achilles and decided to break in half.

The fighting style isn't that realistic, but the way it's choreographed and the shots of it make it look amazing.

Dude was like invincible what do you expect

Not to mention that shite music

The art of acting, or more accurately the art of faking

Bruh toxic

@@marcopedro2017 It isn't toxic, it's the truth

@@thechallenger752 but alot of people like it in here

Thanks! The Troy fight is also my favorite one, beautiful choreography by both actors.

One of my favorites as well. Great crisp choreography and performance on both actors part. especially brad pitt.

Is it really a sword fight if most of it is done with spears

Have you seen how they use the shields

That was not a sword fight.

@faultroy in terms of the narrative its a very moving fight, you care about each sides and are torn about which to root for. Also, in terms of the actual fight, why don't you listen to this man's thoughts, as they say the exact opposite of what you have. May be good for you to hear an educated opinion. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7CJo7uDlq6ngmQ.html

No other fight come close to this. Looked realistic and got everyone hooked

@faultroy bleh show me a fight better choreographed than this

@faultroy Dude you need to get your ass kicked, keyboard warrior speaking boy. In a real fight, you'd get destroyed.

@faultroy oh please, you don't know shit when it comes to sword fights to the death

Exact opposite, in fact. Many of these are actually horrible examples of sword fighting

Yeah same, I thought it was going to be a philosophical commentary on the martial art of European sword fighting, still kept watching though as it was edited pretty well, the rap music seems out of place though I don’t think it goes with the theme of the video also brad Pitt can’t execute proper footwork as his foot is to the side not facing his opponent

Baldrick The dung spreader “foot work” wasn’t even an expectation of mine, these are Hollywood movies after all. And I was still disappointed

Figures a bunch of Hema guys would be here complaining about misleading videos and complaining about sword techniques. Can’t you all just sit back and enjoy the amazing video he made for once.

@@armoredghost1610 THANK YOU

Kill Bill didn't but star wars certainly did.

@@metalbat8414 wouldn't say the whole franchise, just the last jedi

@@spartanwolf I at no point said that the franchise did, I was referring to the Star Wars (The Last Jedi) fight. Obviously Star Wars as a whole didn't ruin the video. Just that terrible fight scene.

I fully agree, star wars and kill bill do NOT belong in this row and are utter bullshit where as the other movies atleast still try to be somewhat realistic in their swordfighting scene's.

@@ItsShane79 Have you ever watched Troy? The way Achilles fights is unheard of lol

Or they assume the position that suits right handed people.... You would need to take 2 steps forward to do so, or do awkward leg switch in place. Also, in context they are fighting THE BEST swordfighter in GoT, everyone would take defensive position and try to attack as a group

Moangus PIckard Good point, no one would want to fight Dayne. There are only a few people who could beat him, such as Oberyn, Jamie, Hound, Syrio and possibly Jon. :)

@@bradmace9005 Jon couldn't beat shit. Only ones with a chance would've been Barristan Selmy and Jamie

Master Mind Seriously ? He would have a chance. Look at how many fights he has been in. Also what about Oberyn? Who completely embarrassed the mountain. Also don’t know if I mentioned, however what about Mountain ? He may have a chance.

Pretty much like in the fight from GoT.

Also don't forget the disappearing dagger

El Luech a DEMIgod hehe

On a dance floor, eh...

Most of the times i see rule of cool being invoked is for things that aren't cool after all. If it actually is cool, it's obvious by itself.

Done. What's next?

Well the video title is "The Art of Sword Fighting" so ofcourse we're gonna shit on the video

Prequels fights were flashy and resembled dancing more than the actual fights. Although enjoyable and cool to watch, they lacked any tension (also Anakin vs. Dooku scene in Attack of the Clones is beyond terrible, easily worst fight in all Star Wars). I think episodes 5-8 duels are better, because they feel more like fights. Completley unrealistic with lots of unnecesary moves still, but they feel more visceral and heavy than prequel duels, fighters get tired, when they get hurt it feels like they actually get hurt. And episodes 5-8 duels have great and atmospheric settings and great visuals and camera work.

I don't like the new star wars fight scenes at all. They make saber fights look like they're fighting with steel swords. These are lightsabers. They are "lightweight". 5-8 make it seem like they're fighting with longswords. The prequels were better in that sense because they were fighting very fast.......as they should.

I mean Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon had faster choreographies than a light saber duel in the new Star Wars trilogy. That is sad and disappointing.

But lightsabers are not that lightweight. According to various sources, their weight is actually very simillar to a standard steel sword. Of course it depends on the story and author, but Lucas originally intended them to weight this much. So episodes 5-8 fight scenes make perfect sense. Also, old fashioned longsword fights are so much cooler and visceral and exciting than glorified glow stick dances shown in the prequels.

And also, movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon or Hero pull off this dance-like fight scenes masterfully. They're are just so beautifull to look at, so amazingly choreographed. I know prequels wanted to go in similar direction in their fights, but failed miserably. Prequels choreography is just boring and unimaginative compered to "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" for example. It's not tense, it's not cool to look at, it's not creative, it's nothing at all, just people waving glow sticks, zero excitment.

I was going to say this almost verbatim… a rare creature, that one.

Wow this comment has as much substance as 90% of the other comments.

Zack Hemsey - No Man's Land and thank you

Has to be season 4 episode 8,9 and/or 10 iirc. One of the last episodes for sure.

....bruh what?
