Shad for me, way to smooth, skallwill loose quickly imo. Neither are swordsman and move through their core properly. With that footwork id say both are amateurs, and never had real fights nor sparing in their lives. Shad can actually weild a sword with speed. Ya cant fight properly nicely. With 2 hours of training shad i beleive could have him beating skall every time, i cant say the same vice versa, skall just cant use it properly yet, not enough years and too new to it. And martial arts in general.imo

Skall insta Ko's by throwing pummel

I know we have a lot of hindsight now but I can't believe you just glossed over that Shad obviously hasn't fought anyone ever at any point who wasn't a guest or cocreator on his channel

This is like asking if a man who’s never entered an actual rim g before could beat a heavyweight boxer. Shads footwork is dogshit, his body is unhealthy and is winded easily, he has very little actual experience, he’s overconfident and just wrong about fighting, most of his videos are him fighting his employees and it’s clear that they know nothing and just let him wail on them. Shad is a glorified LARPER, skal wins no diff.

This would make a fun match make it so😊

skall solos

Lots of Tech people I bet.

that's awesome man! 🤘💀 did you make a video while you were there? (besides this one obviously lol)

Thats Really Great!

Skall all day.

Shad isnt real, he cant hurt you🦊

Skallagrim would absolutely trounce Shad. Pretty sure Skall has more experience and looks fitter.

fellas we powerscaling real poeople now. can they beat goku and how far could they go against the us military?🧐

Shad would loose. Purely from sparring history, he just hasn’t had the experience generally to compete. Skallagrim regularly use to upload sparring.

Did your dog just dab you up?

Skallagrim hands down

My money is on Skall, though I agree 100% with what he said. It's nothing against Shad, just that Skall trains (or did, or does intermittently, I have no idea), and as far as I know, Shad just does a lot of thought exercises and chopping random stuff with random things. Skall might lose if he is bicycle-injured...but on the other hand, he's married to a crazy sword-fighter person who also does this stuff...attacking him means taking on two.

Did fencing masters just think up fun theoretical techniques in their spare time even though they may never be practical?

Now do matchup of some of the younger HEMA RUclipsrs such as Sellsword Arts and robinswords, perhaps Tyranth from the Shadiversity channel, were he to spend a good solid month or two training intensely. Then maybe see how you'd think they'd fare against instructors like the guys at Blood & Iron HEMA or European practitioners.

Apperceptive Swordsman wins, obviously.

🤘💀 for the algorithm! AND SKALLAGRIM!!!

Very cool video! Lots of goofy grips in here I never would've guessed had actual usage and felt like something I would've done as a kid because I thought it looked cool haha. The spear fighting grips were interesting too, seeing how you can use your sword to augment what is in most cases a "better" weapon or defend against it.

So you can reverse-grip a sword, if you use it as a shield...

Joachim Meyer has Brechfenster

From where are the illustrations? Looks amazing, is it some medieval book?

Notice how it's only viable if you don't have your dominant hand available? That's because it sucks

Where i am from we call that technique “the cock choppa”

It seems like you'd have a lot less control, but it would work in those very specific situations. It would probably be a lot more effective with a shorter sword (say an arming sword or other one handed blade, since that's what someone would generally have as a sidearm) - just because it's less mass to control in a slightly awkward position.

This is an interesting and cool use case

I genuinely don't know why people are so adamant about reverse grio being viable, i tried it yesterday and it just felt awful, regardless of effectiveness it's just really uncomfortable and kinda hurts your arm

Notice how he said only for a handful of techniques

Would be fun to do a weird guard roulette sparring session.

I like that shirt

Not bread and butter =/= bad... just means something not you build a fighting style around. Also, blow my mind, alot of guards makes reserve gripping a longsword look tame, reality can be stranger than fiction. Also, Bard core Rick Roll :D

I am wondering if some of these techniques were used just because that’s how the scholar was holding their sword at the time 🤔

Take that sellswords arts.

🗿👍

For slippery nylon swords, the angle at which the impact occurs is very critical. An interesting episode in the last part of the video with the clash of two Montante swords.

it seems to me that for such an application as in the picture, you need to be able to move and even think in a completely different way. here, most likely, this is not a defense like in your video, but an attack. an unexpected attack from an awkward position.

Why does the ref have a quarterstaff?

Man, you are great! Excellent, very visual work done! Respect from Russia!

Sorry for the green screen issues. I didn't realize when filming that small differences in lighting would throw things off so much!

They’re both way too old and slow now, would’ve been good to see them spar. All they do now is rant

This is interesting. Seems well thought out. Good presentation of data sourcing and expectations. I was hoping for Shad to win... but expecting Skall to win. But with the data presented, I agree that three doubles voiding the match makes sense.

Joms Vikings 🤘💀 That's pretty metal. I think you make a very good overall point here. Control and discipline are definitely the most important aspect of any martial art. That's kinda the whole point of training in the first place. Interesting philosophy and approach to training safely. Silver for blood is a good one lol never seen that before.
