That was cool! And you get 500Xp as reward now loot him.

Только мечем бить по латам, пустая тратат времени. Надо бить булавой по ебалу, а потом мизерикордией тыкать в отверстия

I see no problem for hollywood to utilise these kind of fights in future. They should adapt them already

Can you make a video where you (try to) fight on a spiral staircase so we have some visual material that debunks that infamous myth?

Tutto questo è ineccepibile. Non ho mai visto nei film questo combattimento! Immaginavo il classico suonare delle spade ,non usate in questo modo.

Usavano le spade come le lancie?

I was expected a "huh.... must of been the wind" at the end there lol

I believe they just adressed the issue and puled the line, they have them at half price with extra rivets, i just ordered mine

Okay, I get now why Hollywood prefers flashy fantasy combats :D But solid fight though!

Gentlemen I appreciate your effort and work!! Just watched the poleaxe video as well, and it was *EASILY* visible how much more free you felt outdoors instead of the tremendous caution required in this environment. I enjoyed both, and have subscribed and hope to comment on the poleaxe vid for the algorithm soon as I can. When doing choreo, it's ABSURDLY important to drill these things to a ridiculous degree with repetition... but when you're a HEMA student and learning HEMA, it can be confusing and stifling because choreo is literally a dance trying to look like HEMA, whereas HEMA is made to kill and not get killed in the process. That causes a conflict in the performer/student that I guarantee will take time and practice, practice, practice, ....pr--- *is smacked* to overcome. And it WILL take time, but you guys can do it. No matter what, make sure to have fun with your choreo and film making most of all. Since we (usually) don't have to kill anybody with HEMA, a certain degree of fun is going to be part of it for all of us. When you're giving a performance, remember that the fun IS nearly all of it lol. Historical accuracy is a great factor for these sorts of short-films, but never forget the joy of the dance, have fun, and do not be discouraged. I wish you great success and bid you all thanks for your hard work, may the flashing steel reflect the light of the Lord towards your true path. Amen.

Quite different from fighting in armor. My takeaway: a good sword is ALWAYS useful no matter how you're fighting, while the slow heavy, long-handled weapon is only practical when you and your opponent are in armor.

I get the feeling that a lot more of such engagements ended because one man became exhausted, or suffered from too many hard bangs on the armor or helmet (bruises, possibly concussions), than decisive sword strokes or swings of the axe. Hopefully you were fighting with friends nearby who could drag you back if you fell down, before the other guy could brain you or stick a dagger in your eye or neck.

Those strikes would do nearly zero damage.

Shit, that took me till the end to realize it´s not @dequitem content. Great fight nonetheless.

Where did you guys buy your armor? Did you get it custom forged by a smith or did you buy it online from a vendor?

Awesome to see the mixed weapon component.

continue this course of action

Excellent, even though my chosen knight lost.

Great video !

The duel is presented rather in accordance with historical realities... The approach was that if you fail and are pierced through the body, you try to retaliate with a dagger during grappling... which is what, at 2:00-2:05, the dying knight does, grunting heavily. Also, a typical duelist dying in a fight without armor with a rapier and a dagger tried to take his opponent with him in this way (if he was still able). So the dying duelist often tried to still achieve something with the dagger. And sometimes he obtained his consolation by thrusting the dagger into, for example, the opponent's throat or groin (or, in a duel without armor, by fiercely making a sieve out of the opponent's chest, inflicting a lot of stabs thanks to adrenaline and so called "euphoria moribundi")

.... enough video for today

Thanks for sharing

Looks like they melting through the webbing to make holes? If they are- Parting it with an awl is much more durable and secure. Plus the need for wider based more sturdy rivets as mentioned

Cheap aluminum rivets do not stand up to sparring. If you replace the rivets that fail with copper or steel rivets, they'll last much longer.

2 have broken within my club this last week. However I do know 2 people who have been testing the protypes for a good few months and they didn't have any of these issues. So hopefully in just a bad first batch from the manufactures and can be resolved quickly.

Why are you always striking each other's swords and not each other ? pardon me but imo this doesn't seem very realistic...

This is why swords suck and why the mace was invented next.

My input is that this seems a very historically accurate depiction of what a fight in full harness between peers would look like, It's just what i would like to see. I am a literate student of history, by no means an expert. Wellmdon4, keep up the good work.

The fight was edifying and the kit impressive. I do have one note: Please reach out to a period band to add to your sound track, rather than a generic "epic" track. There's no shortage of medieval/Renaissance musicians & bands showcasing their work on RUclips. I'd love to see more of such collaborations. Imagine a vid of yours backed by this: ruclips.net/video/P_OuEaxU7zY/видео.html

How is the wrist mobility?

Very cool to see a fight end on the ground which is something i don't see a lot in other hema videos

Nice video

NICE English harness!!

Honestly i don't understand how you can even consider these gloves for longsword. They doesn't seem nearly as protective as Progaunlet or SG Infinity. The fingers look extremely weak, especially on the sides. They already protrude under the plastic shell and it will be inevitably worse with wear. All those years of R&D for that ....

Great review, I have not used mine yet but I do have some obersations. Firstly I bought the larger size and intended to use them for metal sabre sparring, the glove is a tight fit in a Kevtun Easton III bowl guard, but much more comfortable in an open 1803 guard. Being able to replace parts is very positive, I suspect the finger plates will be a weak point but the articulation is excellent. I wish the finger tips wrapped over the end of the fingers though. The back plate is a little restrictive on wrist movement but it is very sturdy, so you trade flexibility for protection. The loop for pulling the glove on is genius, I love it.

Thanks, I've been very much anticipating this as my Konings are heavy, stiff and I get so little feel from my sword.

Great review! many thanks

Thanks for the review. Very helpful 😊

Nice review! Have you tried them with single handed weapons and if so, how is the dexterity you get from these compared to thokks? Also, have you tried messer?

thanks for the review! How well is the thumb protected when holding the sword? can the thumb slip out or protude under the cover when gripping? I've had this with other 5 finger gloves and hurt my thumb twice

beautyful sparring, but the musik is to intens!

What is this сuсkoldry lmao

I’m such a medieval history nerd that I recognized the song in the video instantly

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG

I like armor, I like video

Great video, guys!

Hello from Greece. Bravo!!!

Great use of the plays!

This was fantastic! Keep it up!

Yep I know you said armour is not right, but you need a wrapper or an avintail on that armet, you have no stop rib and the standard is although poor will not stop a strike straight under the helm as it will go through your jaw
