The stick wrestling at the end seemed AMAZINGLY useful. It's odd that I've never seen it before, but I'll definitely add it to my training regimen. Thank you for showing that.
its easier when you can wack em in the noggin when folks wanna tussle lol
Humans haven’t changed at all
muscle memory is such a good point to make , I like the way the most effective moves are minimalist .
I would love to see more staff work. Practice forms and practices. Strikes, parrys, blocks and such. Keep up the good work 😊
The Highland wrestling seems a lot like greco-roman wrestling and we use the hip throw in traditional wrestling too I wrestle in school I love to see how my heritage can be applied to my sport
Nicely done! You might contact Jack Whyte, a Scottish historian, now living in Canada on this topic. He's written several books (epics really) including three on the Guardians of Scotland. His stories are true to historical fact although obviously he has to make up quite a bit. My favorite author! Anyhow, he writes quite a lot about how swords are made and trained with. In his stories he has trainees starting at an early age and working with wooden practice weapons that are double the weight of the real thing. In The Forest Laird he has the quarterstaff as a primary training weapon for building strength for swordsmen and archers. Anyhow, great video. I'd love to see more on this! BTW, the titles might be different in the UK for Mr. Whyte's books.
Love how you mix craft, martial, and reenactment aspects. Have you heard of The Townsends? 17th to 19th century U.S. recipes, stories, and builds with reenactors. Take care until next time!
*Townsends theme intensifies*
Fantastic demonstrations!
Need more of this stuff. Looking useful.
You ought to do some playing around with dirk and targe or dirk and staff. I feel like for a common man this combination might be used often, especially dirk and staff, in defensive situations.
Well done! Absolutely incorporate more HEMA into your video. I greatly enjoy your videos, keep the Highland way alive!
We do the same drill but with both hands on the stick. Also, Backhold wrestling is an element of Glima in Norway along with trouser grip and loose grip. Loving the videos :)
Excellent, just what I was waiting for you to do. I must make my staff this weekend. Good stuff !👍😍
Like what you do, keep your heritage alive! Please make more of the martial arts side.
That stick drill at the end looked like it would improve your perception , footwork and your grip but also your tactile feel of when your swords engage you can feel the direction/pressure that your opponent is applying, it reminded me of the wing chun sticking hands drills.
Very useful video!!! congratulations!!!
Please show more highland martial arts.
I would be interested in seeing some more of this
From my old fencing days, on your guards, be sure you don't swing your hand any farther than needed to protect your body, otherwise you end up having to move your hand a farther distance (and thus needing more time) to defend on the counter thrust.
Love the practice broadswords.
There was a fella who held the highland backhold wrestling event at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, in North Carolina. He's been dead for years, but from what I know he was quite the character. His name was Mad Max MacDougald. They called him, "The Warlord".
very interesting - thanks
"It's just about getting out there" Yes indeed. Thanks for the break, I enjoyed the Video. Doesn't have to be 'Earth shattering' to be worth the watch....but 'it' does have to be done in Highland gear......another Good Job, Kudos.
To realise, what an incredible job the then government made of disarming and weakening the Clans, that we now have to guess, when before it was feared and respected throughout the whole of Europe.
Well in mate love that I train with swords axes n that I make my own bows also but love the grip training I could be a worthy opponent and I love the highlands so mail me mate and we can go away camping and have a laugh and a drink
Great video!!!
The combat video are awesome too! Let's spar one day if I come to Scotland or you to Canada! Awesome channel as I often say! You rock, keep up the good work, and fight on
Love it! We used to have highland wrestling here in Paisley, good fun!
Quarter staff's were common in Scotland & England as the blackthorn was common in Scotland & Ireland.
Oo yeah, he should do a shillelagh video
@@woden__ He already did an interesting video like that.
It's great discovering channels like this on RUclips. Great content and you should be proud of the work you're doing in preserving your heritage.
Yes, he is really fantastic in that, very authentic.
Lovely camera work, angles, exposure etc too.
His focus is a fabulous way of depicting historical techniques and reenactment to show survival skills, or vice versa. It's a perfect, and little-seen combination of beautifully marrying concepts. Both concepts are becoming increasingly important in our era of increasing detachment from reality and modesty.
I really really like what he is about.
The way your buddy described his hand slipping on the stick as him losing the match makes me think apart of the training is meant to simulate wrenching a Dirk or dagger away from an assailant.
You can hold a blade safely while gripping quite firmly, and was done in medieval and renaissance era sword fighting to slip through the gaps in armor.
But if you let the edge draw or pull against your hand you will get cut badly.
Please do more Highlander Martial arts. Loving all of your vids on Highlanders.
Like the short stick wrestling at the end. Defently a good exercise and fun. Thanks for the video👍🏴
You took the "basket" in "basket hilt" quite literally :)
I've been trying to learn broadsword and targe for my local fencing group. Any additional resources are much appreciated.
Best to look for the manuals of Thomas Page (1746) and Donald McBane (1728) and check out our Cateran Society channel for our practical video lesson series on Broadsword and targe.
can you do a video on throwing stones? im pretty sure scottish stone put was an ancient sport of yer island, perhaps vist the blue charter stones?
Very enjoyable and informative. Keep them coming 👍👌😊
please do more, I'm going to take the stick wrestling back to my reenactment regiment, it would be great to have more stuff.
The staff training could be applied to closer quarter spear as well.
Greek Hoplites would also attack the man diagonal from him like you described the red coats doing. I liked the stick wrestling for grip training. It must create quite an all round strength through the wrist and forearm. Thanks for the video.
That last clip with the stick, i realy liked that and going to try and apply that to my training and see if that is any benefits in grip for jujitsu (mainly coz it looks fun, modify the rules a little)
Look into how the people of the Canary Islands used staffs for rock climbing. There are some videos covering that and canary stick fighting. I suspect the highlanders used the same techniques while traveling.
Please consider connecting with Matt Easton from the schoolagladiatoria channel!
Nice video!
Also Lindy Beige and Shadiversity could fit thematically.
And not to forget skallagrim.
Should incorporate slaps and trips into the stick drill.
Hi mate i am new to your channel,
I do a lot of wild camping but i bet are temperatures dont get as cold as your do up there 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Omg please find a hema club, you would love it. We have a guy in our club who studies broadsword and it's sooooo cool.
They may have learnt that stabbing technic (stab the guy to the right) from the romans as that was 1 of their main shield wall strategy the push forward with their 6 foot shield and stab through the gaps to the right.
Great video, I love martial arts and this was super fascinating to watch and learn more about Scottish fighting style, would be cool to see more of this maybe even where you train with a claymore would be great 👍
Very good. Thank you very much
Thanks for the culture and the basics of the Scottish Martial arts
Well ✔ 👍
As a practitioner of German Longsword I love to see the differences in highland fighting to other things, love the video
Very nice work. I have seen some videos showing where European martial arts are making a slow but steady come back. That seems like an excellent way to instill confidence and pride in people young and old by teaching them how to defend themselves, family, and loved ones with a fighting system used by their ancestors. I think you’re definitely on to something, here. I hope you are able to peruse it on a regular bases. Best of luck.
You absolute legend, I’ve been looking for this for a long time and you have delivered it.
Excellent video! I've definitely been interested in learning more about Scottish history and martial arts. :)
Hey there love the video (Love the whole highlander series in fact) I have been trying to look a bit more into "an rachd." In the video you said it was more likely Irish and only possibly Scottish however the only thing I have been able to find about it online is at this site (dirkdance.tripod.com/id5.html which has this video embedded ruclips.net/video/GGWgHezQ018/видео.html) which suggests that it was once a competition at Highland games! What are your sources which link it to Ireland? I'm really curious about it but the lack of information on the web is amazingly frustrating and I don't want to take the word of just one website as being the truth particularly when it didn't cite any sources either.
It is pretty much accepted that when you fight other people you pick up from them new methods of strategy, combat skills and weapons, adapt or go under, pretty much. So there's a good chance that fights with Romans, Vikings, the English and our Celtic cousins would have brought new ideas and fighting skills. In Lancashire where I've for lived for a wee while, clog or "shin kicking" was a common thing and is still about at county shows, stuff your socks and pants with straw and grab each other by the shoulder trying to throw the opponent off balance whilst getting good kicks in with heavy wooden clogs and oh aye it hurts! Seeing as Scots were in the area for many years there could be some connection.
Then there's stone throwing as in giant styli - chucking big rocks at people from the hills onto the enemy below and fire in the summer could burn your enemy, this was used a lot in some cultures. Of course there's always the traditional greeting on Prince's street if you call the wrong guy or lass out after a few bevvies.
You missed out the Heed But🏴
Hey man.. Nice stick grip victory. That was intense tbh
There is plenty of Scottish Martial artist in Scotland practicing! Please find them!
As I was watching the stick wrestling I was think that anyone with a sibling has done that...except with the tv remote or a coveted toy that you've only got one of 😄
I'm new to this channel, and I'm already hooked! Keep up the excellent work, especially the HEMA content for some of us martial arts fanatics.
Awesome video once more 👏 I really enjoyed watching it & trying to learn more, I'm finding all your video's fascinating Tom. Thank you for making them & sharing 👍 Take care & Stay safe my friend 🙏😀👍 Andy
The scotish warriors would do well if paired up with Native american tribes. Both a people of warriors who are smart and good at what they do
Quarter staffs were sized for the individual and usually the height of the man plus his hand. i.e. If you stand up and place your straight hand on your head like pretending it is a mohawk.
Love the highland videos I was waiting all day for this video! Keep making highland videos
That last practice, an rachd, I do all the time... fighting to get the stick back from my dog!
Awesome video!
Great video. Really liked the stick training thing at the end, haha! Living history, man.
Haha it was fun to see the stick fight at the end it's quite a cool game to play that was quite interesting thank you for sharing all of those tips. I was wondering how one would practice it I suppose a tree could be quite a good option Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15 verse 3
Every man in the world should practice something like that.
G'day Tom. Thank you for another great video. I hope to see much more of this martial arts video's, you are doing a really great job of showing the rest of the world some of the long forgotten skills of the Scot's. I live in Australia, my family heritage is Italian and German, but if I had my personal wish, I would be a Scot before anything else. Best wishes.
I would sugest that you take a look at medival sword and buckler for more ideas on using a sword anx targe :)
We're the Scottish the first to use basket hilt swords?
SlingshotWarrrior yes we invented it.
@@Original_Dalvik Awesome
@@Original_Dalvik Are you sure? The first known use of basket-hilted swords was during the English Civil War, but maybe I am mistaken.
@@Original_Dalvik Thanks for clearing things up :)
Basket-Hilts and half-baskets were already common in Southern Germany, Switzerland, Austria and parts of Scandinavia before they were in use in Scotland. The first found in England was the Mary Rose Sword mid 16th Century.
God damn red coats!!!
Love watching this channel
Never mind historical timings , we're Scottish, we want to see Claymores!😂
Great video as usual👍🏻
Thank you I enjoyed this. I look forward to your next video. : )
You're doing a grand job keeping history alive, too much has been almost lost.
Very interesting! I'd like to see more of these kinds of videos in addition to your survival videos!
Fascinating. Quite enjoyable to watch. Around the world people found many ways to defend themselves, and yet attack their opponent. Celts fought all over the world as mercenaries. They had to learn more than just their highland forms of combat.
Would absolutely love more info and testing of highland martial arts.
8:23 is exactly what we do with the jo in Aikido 👍 And 11:31 is a classic Judo throw. It all ties in together as in the end all martial arts aim to manipulate the body at its weak points so they will all have the main principles in common. The grip strength exercise at the end seems very useful and good fun. Thank you very much for this video 😊👍
That last game looked damn fun actually.
That's great, really cool 😀🌟
Looks like it's fun, even though it probably wouldn't if met with an enemy. 🙈💦
Thanks a lot for teaching us some basics with your buddy 😊🌼🌟
And as always, your videos have the best sceneries, are very informative and never fail to entertain✌😊🌻
I want to play the stick game but I’m not sure if I know anyone that would play.
Awesome video guys, always something awesome to learn from your history, I’ll have to get some lessons! 👍very interesting,thanks for sharing.
damned interesting stuff, thanks guys !
Please make another ,like that, video!!!
Great video. I love ancient martial technology and fighting techniques. Stay safe.
best video - Excellent video more such videos about the historical times of Scotland .... and about historical places Scottland and Ireland .... and there will be a good channel about Scotland and Irish culture
Another great presentation Fandabi but i must ask - was "British redcoats" a slip of the tongue... Or do you refer to them as British rather than English?
I'm Northern English but think of myself as British because I feel affinity to my Scottish "cousins" to the North of me and Welsh not far to the SouthWest...
They were British. The Jacobite rising was never Scots versus English, it was not about Scots independence, Scottish and English Jacobites were fighting to try to regain the throne of Britain for a Stewart king, the British Government fielded Scottish and English troops to defeat them.
So cool. I really appreciate the information. Take care.
Great stuff, as usual. When you said about Red Coats learning lesson, this reminds me our 12th C line fights, we usually aim diagonally, not the opponent in the front.
You can see us fight at the little show for school ruclips.net/video/0IgCeEqo088/видео.html
There will be more, with line fights as well!
Heck yes we want more. great job guys. I like the grip strength training. maybe give us some coverage at one of the highland games if you go.
Very nice work. Thank you.
Another fun video. Keep it up!
Love your stuff, keep up the great work. Would love to see more on the various highland combat styles, martial arts, weapons type of stuff. Also anything more about inter clan cattle thieving would be great.
That was so much fun to watch! 😊
This looks like a lot of fun 😁
3:35 you look like an npc haha
Great content, learnt alot. Totally inspires to go out and learn more. Cheers guys
I like this sort of stuff.
