    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.

    • @budgetcommander4849
      @budgetcommander4849 14 дней назад

      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.

    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!

    • @A_Medieval_Shadow
      @A_Medieval_Shadow 19 дней назад

      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.

The term Claidheamh Mhor however was indigenously applied to both single-handed and two-handed broadswords. I hope this helps.

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!

      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🙏

    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.

      @A_Medieval_Shadow 4 месяца назад

      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.
