Another great entry into one of my favourite series - nice one Shadow!
Thank you very much, next time I will either talk about the Zhanmadao or the Nodachi, so stay tuned
my man you have peak drip the poofy pants and the feathers in the hat and hte hat its self? peak
Thank you! Puffy Pants FTW!
Very interesting, thank you. The setting is amazing!
Skyrim looks different... ~~Could this rule be used to protect Stormcloaks too?~~
XD Didn't see that coming
a really valuable video for all sorts of people - anyone looking at purchasing any of this kit, or even beginners or outsiders just wondering how this kind of equipment moves in general. the hammer was an unexpected bonus!
I never got the appeal of the Lucerne Hammer till I had it in my hands :D
The Middle Ages and the Renaissance were scary times, man... People walking around with cloaks that they'd defend by turning into sharp metal beyblades. Scary.
So glad the algorithm put this in my feed. Subbed!
I will try my best to become worthy of your praise
@A_Medieval_Shadow already are, brother
Figueiredo 14 next lets goooo
Yeah, let's gooooo!!!! Gotta practice with someone who throws things at me
@@A_Medieval_Shadow I should have thought of that, sounds super fun
I hope I survive training this Rule till recording it XD
I just knew that is what would happen the second I saw her hand behind her back. :D
Love the background music. Fantastic!
This seems like it would be interesting to pull off in a crowded urban environment, lol. Historical manuscripts can have some truly strange things
Yes, pretty strange things indeed
Great video, I like many people living in urban inviromnents have suuffeded from rampant cloak theft. I've seen young men and women throw their lives away for the love of the game, that sweet ass cloak game. I respect your public service defending young men and women from cloak theft but I wonder.... Are our youths best served not being taught about cloak violence and politics. Are we better off teaching our young to be prepared for cloak crime or by saving them from this social ill as long as we can. Is society bettere served by training cloak vigilence or preserving cloak innocence. I'm sorry that i got philosophical but thanks, anyone joining the conversation is appreciated.
While it's important to strive for a society in which cloak theft won't happen, that can only be accomplished by helping the youth who turn to cloak crime. While that goal is pursued, it's important to learn how to protect your cloak, and tech others how to do the same.
Godinho Regla 8 Mantelschutz, da beschreibt er das man seinen linken Fuß auf den Mantel setzen soll und dieser nicht bewegt wird. Dann beginnt er mit zwei Tajos und dreht sich dabei um 180°(1 Schritt) und dann zwei Reves (180°) und ein Schritt zurück. Die Hiebe werden abwechselnd in zwei Vektoren geführt, einmal klassisch auf Brusthöhe und einmal tief zu den Beinen. Figu setzt den Fuß nicht auf den Mantel? Dann könnte der stibitzt werden, wenn die Angreifer das aussitzen und den Montantero genug beschäftigen.
Jepp, das sind die Unterschiede.
Is my cloak in danger?! Nooo, I can't deal with that
"...how to protect your cloak!" <throws cloak in snow> But...
🤣 the idea is to put it on again after XD
You showed your respects towards the statue. I like that.
It seems strange to me that you would need to protect your cloak so severely.. also who on earth is trying to snatch a cloak from a guy wandering around with a greatsword? Maybe just something I don’t understand. I could see this used as a defense against being surrounded while protecting a target though, tell the person you are body guarding to hit the deck and go wild!
Hi! Indeed it seems very strange for us today, but Cloaks are mentioned several times in treatizes. In this rule, you put the cloak on the ground to have your arms free and to protect your belongings (either on you or on the ground too) from several angles as a Deathcopter. You can try to hit those who come to near or demoralize them to flee.
Finally, I can use this to keep my cousins from eating all of the sweets.
Somebody needs to move out of Momma's basement.
By your 1st MARDIV channel pic and "minuteman" channel name, I'd be shocked if you didn't LARP with tacti-cool gear yourself.
My own basement has more room for The Armory, but thank you for your concerns
absolutely no need for this kind of comment. i'm sure you have your own hobbies and i'm sure you know what it feels like to have someone try to belittle them. please don't spread that feeling on to other people. combat negativity with positivity only, don't pass it on.
Why is it called Figueiredos? That is Portuguese right? Just wondering since I am Portuguese
Hi! Diogo Gomes De Figueiredo was a swordmaster with an interesting career from the 17th century who wrote fencing manuscripts including his "Reglas" for the Montante. Coming from the iberian Peninsula, it is no wonder he sounds familiar to you :D if you like to learn more about The iberian Montante, its Use, manuscripts and tactics, I recommend you my video "Greatswords Around the World 02: The Montante".
@A_Medieval_Shadow I sure will. Thank you for sharing
the cloak must feel safe
It keeps me safe from the cold and I keep it safe from being cloaknapped
@@A_Medieval_Shadow maybe one day it will get upgraded with a ballistic nylon liner for a masterwork dueling capelet of protection. Also, bonus if you back it with chain. May the rest of your holiday be merry.
as always great video. I love your breakdowns and explanations. just keeps getting better.
I'm trying my best, thank you!
Merry Christmas Shadow. Always a pleasure.☘️
Merry christmas to you too!!!⚔️
Cloak Thieves have been real quiet since this dropped
I hope they learned their lesson XD
You know what ? You can keep that cloak...
XD
Comment for algorithm 👍
Thank you very much, Sir!👍⚔️
A beautifull demnstration on a fantastic lanscape. Very Christmassy.
Thank you, I try to show more nice castle sights in my videos to come
Like the montante. Thanks for your simple rules series for them montante. I have been using that to learn those rules. I have enjoyed the experience of very much and your videos
@@4242pepper that's the best compliment I can hope for🖤⚔️
Nice video. The montante look faster, but I think it's only because the blade is much more flexible.
Hi! Indeed the movements with the Montante are faster, good eye. It feels very nimble in use and changing directions is not tiresome. The blade is slimmer as the other two, which takes weight away from the blade.
👍⚔
I love the hammer ! This must be extremely lethal !!
You don't need much force to make it go BAM
@@A_Medieval_Shadow BAM !
BAAAAMMM @@jessecerasus9621
A good overview of our indigenous two handed swords, well done! :) I might add that the term Claidheamh da Laimh was not an indigenous Gaelic term for the two-handed sword, but an attempt by C19th English collectors to create a Gaelic equivalent term of Two-Handed Sword. The term Claidheamh Mhor however was indigenously applied to both single-handed and two-handed broadswords. I hope this helps.
Thank you very much, this insights are good to know since my sources are limited. May I ask where you got this Info? Or better: do you have book recommendations for me to read?
@@A_Medieval_Shadow, no problem :) I'm a Scottish swordmaker and historical fencing master and have studies our indigenous arms and martial culture for some decades. The references are not to be found in any single source, though I do go into detail about them in a couple of my own online presentations (Scottish Two-Handed Swords and Scottish Weaponry - Myths and Realities).
I have a question about the video. In Figueiredo's description of the rule presented here, he mentions the final cut as: "give a talho blow on the right arm of the adversary." However, in the video, the cut seems to be delivered to the left arm. Could you please clarify the reasoning behind this interpretation? I want to make sure I fully understand the technique. Thank you!
Hi! I hit his right arm in the video from his viewpoint. Since it is the arm which is most forward as a righthanded adversary, his right arm is easy to reach.
❤❤
Tolle Burg 'wo ist das. Und wenn ich Bedenke wie schwer so ein Schert ist...alle Achtung ❤
Burgruine Flossenbürg ist das. Och das Schwert hat 3,5kg, das schaft man schon mit Ausdauer
@A_Medieval_Shadow Nix für mich Schwäche schon bei den schweren Küchenmessern 🤣😂
Your stuff has been really valuable for learning the Montante. I have like 4-7 sources and all of you seem to have slightly different interpretations of the rules, or executions that work better in different scenarios. Keep uploading man.
Thank you very much! Most sources have so much space for Interpretations, that it is difficult to pinpoint what the one "correct" technique is, the writer intended it to be. In my view, you can always resort to different techniques of executing the rule if it helps you biomechanically. In this Rule for Example, the Revez has to be execututed after the thrust. Doing a normal horizontal cut felt weak, so I use in the fast clip an additional swing for it. I am always honored to hear when my videos helped people to learn🙏
👍⚔
Beautiful sword and beautiful castle. ❤ I have to know where the castle is!
Hi! It is the ruin of Flossenbürg Castle in bavaria. It has some very nice spots for videos and much space for some... let's say sport XD
@A_Medieval_Shadow witzig, die ist schon auf meiner Liste für potentielle drehort gewesen.
Don't forget the background music.
what castle is this?
Hi! This is the ruin of Flossenbürg Castle in Bavaria, Germany.
@@A_Medieval_Shadow thank you!
@@DogsaladSalad what can I saaaaaay except, you're welcome!
Thanks, those orphans never stood a chance
*nervous laughter*
Yes! Exactly!
👍👍👍
Mega cool 🤠
Doing research on the flail for my game and have some thoughts. On the first attack in this video, the wielder proved its purpose, to swing around the shield and hit the guy behind it. It was just his hand at slow speed but I would count that as an injury to the shield arm. After that it looked like there were attacks directly to the shield with the flail which would do less damage than a fixed weight on a haft or pole.

Many Highland dirks, Scots Gaelic; "biodag" were made from broken sword blades. Probably many Sgian Dubh knives also, Scots Gaelic; sgian, knife and dubh, black. Cheif Donald Glas MacGregor, Rob Roy Macgregor's father used a 2 handed claymore at the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689. The aftermath on the battlefield is a gory story of bloody carnage. "" The enemy lay in heaps almost in the order they were posted; but so disfigured with wounds, and so hashed and mangled, that even the victors could not look upon the amazing proofs of their own agility and strength without surprise and horror. Many had their heads divided into two halves by one blow; others had their sculls cut off above the ears by a back-stroke, like a night-cap. Their thick buff-belts were not sufficient to defend their shoulders from such deep gashes as almost disclosed their entrails. Several pikes, small-swords, and the like weapons were cut quite through, and some that wore skull caps had them so beat into their brains that they died upon the spot.
🎉
Broadsword, longsword, backsword, falchion, or greatsword. All have been called claymore. The longsword and falchion really only got called that post medieval period, but they were called by the name. Some backswords were made with messer or cutlass blade blanks. Makin them falchions. But they were called claymores. Some highland greatswords were more like the largest longswords than a typical greatsword. And they were called claymores. Even arming swords are called broadswords by some amateur medievalists, possiblybecause some broadswords were late arming swords retrofitted with complex hilts. And a scottish broadsword is a claymore. Really anything that isn't a small sword or a short sword can be a claymore.
This is the thing with ethymology and categorising things. There will always be changes after a while. Regardless of that, when it comes to contemporary terms, the gaelic used the terms Claidheamh mor (Claymore: Great sword, but not Greatsword) and Claidheamh da laimh (Claythdalamth: two handed sword), as far as I've seen from various sources. Although people tend to stick medieval weaponry into many different drawers for a nice feeling, also perpetuing wrong names for things so long till they stick to them. Is it correct to only call the baskethilted Sword a Claymore? Is it "correcter" to call the twohanded sword a Claymore nowadays because everybody did it for too long? I don't know. Thats why I said it that way in the video
@@A_Medieval_Shadow Tbh it isn't right or wrong to call a two handed sword a claymore. And a single handed sword doesn't need to be basket hilted to be called a great sword. The term really just excludes courtly small swords and extremely short one-handed swords. Like smaller straight bladed hangers. A longer hanger, most cutlass style weapons, even sabers can still be called claymores if they were used by Scots or are made in a scottish style. Some Scots would even have the blades of their single hand swords cut down for use aboard ships. They still called them claymores if the blade was broader than a hunting sword.
is there a single edged great sword in history?
Hi! There are some greatswords with a single edge from Asia. Japan has the Nodachi, which looks like a very long Katana with a long handle. Japan also has the Nagamaki, which is 50% blade and 50% handle. A sword-Polearm Hybrid. China also has Greatswords with single edges, which are built very different. They Have The Zhanmadao, which is awesome and big; a shorter greatsword that is called Miaodao which looks like a big meatcleaver.
Greetings Sir Shadow, I am but a new person in this channel of your.
