And sparring videos aren't great either, because most of the times the people are purposefully holding back. There's a channel called "Motion Actor" that most animators always refer to to get reference, issue with that one is that it's all highly choreographed movie stunts. But yeah, would be great to have some reference from people with the gear and knowledge of this stuff!

    • @VirtualFechtschule
      @VirtualFechtschule  Год назад +1

      No worries, and love the analogy. XD It's sometimes called almain armour (which is just 16th century anglicised French for German armour). The idea was to have easily and cheaply made armour available for foot retinues or for the mercenary recruitment pool to purchase, which would mean loads of reasonably well equipped foot soldiers (which was definitely important for the new way of war that focussed on disciplined infantry units).

      A backplate is still on the to-do list. ;) But I would also argue that you see footsoldiers definitely prioritise frontal protection during the late middle ages and 16th century. Leg armour is pretty useless to footsoldiers. It does offer more protection, true, but it's really hard to intentionally and solidly hit the legs. The real problem is that marching in leg armour is absolute hell.

      Armor like that (16th-17th century) is a response to firearms. (Pike and shot era). The same reason modern body armor only covers the vitals. Covering more with steel thick enough would weigh more than a man could realistically march with. Legs get deprioritized.
