@@Lo-tf6qt Yes, but can you spin it like Oberyn from GoT? Actually it takes more skill than just extanding your arms to beat people with other armaments)
To be fair, I'd also like to know rapier and sabre, but after I learnt the long sword. Also longsword hasn't been hand and a halfed by modern fencing.... Yet.
1:05 : "Doubles are so common nobody will know if I suck." :D :D :D :D That got me xD I am currently in the phase of 'I am new to this I keep doubling' :D
Yes! Such a wonderful video. However, I am still going to learn the longsword, because it is a hero's weapon. I saw Fiore once. The longsword. I want to learn the longsword.
At the same time in our club: "can you please stop opening new half-year-life groups for weapons you don't even own yet? Also, why are you buying weapons you've no group for? CAN YOU PLEASE STICK TO ONE WEAPON FOR ONCE?!
I wish I could learn rapier where I live. The only school near me says on their website that they teach mainly longsword and only teach "niche" weapons after months of longsword lessons.
Cave pupil: Me want learn club. Bonk instructor: Smack him out flat! cave pupil: Many thanks:) sharpened stick instructor: pock em with da pointy end! Cave pupil: so that what it for? Sharpened stick cave pupil best an expert master swordsmen 3/4 times easy. Humans used spear/pointy stick for about 1/2 a million years as the primary battle weapon for a reason! If it can take down large game like boar, dear & larger it will have no problem with taking down a human.
@@MoonshineH it was ifunny but I don’t remember where to find it. All I know is I came here looking for this video because someone went “they anime girl’d the long sword video guy”
I know very little about how to use swords but I was under the impression the longsword is a decent starting weapon for when you first start learning so you can get basic fundamentals that transfer to other types of sword, was that incorrect?
I mean, that's what I do running my school. However, the idea isn't so much that the longsword is the best for lending fundamentals as much as it is about the longsword being the easiest for me to teach in a large group. Once people get the hang of fundamentals with the group lessons, study of other weapons tends to branch out from there.
I'd hazard to say that longsword was the first area of HEMA that took off and was really the only thing for awhile, on top of it being a style that most people start with because, depending on who you ask, it's easier to learn than rapier or sword and shield. You have both hands on your weapon, giving you somewhat more control, and easier to distribute the weight, along with not having to worry about what your offhand is doing (usually).
it's not the kid's fault that they made the longsword so cool
"But you can be a good at Saber in about 5 minutes!"
Jesus, you don't have massacre us like that.
*Laughs in spear fighting*
@@Lo-tf6qt Yes, but can you spin it like Oberyn from GoT? Actually it takes more skill than just extanding your arms to beat people with other armaments)
"Doubles are so common that no one will know if I suck"
That one hits a little to close to home LMAO
The disses at Sabre were hilarious “you can just make stuff up” “you can be good with it in 5 minutes”
I am one of the better sabre fencers in my class and I cannot even name a renowned sabre master.
Based kid is right.
Pawn D5
“but the smartest fencers do rapier",no Sir,raiper is not about how smart your, it's about HOW STRONG YOUR ARMS ARE!!💪💪💪💪
And geometry. That's a very important part of the rapier.

I get everything and nothing about this in the same breath it's amazing
I have never related to a protagonist more than I relate to Longsword Guy

I'm disappointed he didn't just answer with "it doubles as a club"
thats why you need to teach him longsword
Cracked me up on the Polish sabre part.
The Longsword ❤❤
Yes! Such a wonderful video. However, I am still going to learn the longsword, because it is a hero's weapon. I saw Fiore once. The longsword. I want to learn the longsword.
Instructor: I will make you immortal
Me: with eternal youth?
If they answer yes I'd take the rapier because I think it is actually kind of cool
Pole hammer duels look really fun, but I want to learn the longsword.
If I only have to do rapier for a short while, then I can switch to longsword for an infinite amount of time... I think you know what I'd choose.
You think doubles are common in longsword? There's a reason Tallhoffer said “Here they fight with messers, God help them!”
Truly a heros weapon
:champion:
Still one of my favorite HEMA memes. It's funny 'cause it's true.
At the same time in our club: "can you please stop opening new half-year-life groups for weapons you don't even own yet? Also, why are you buying weapons you've no group for? CAN YOU PLEASE STICK TO ONE WEAPON FOR ONCE?!

-Saber/Messer bro
That's actually a really good video. "I want da lonkswortz!!!"
“I will give you a million dollars and buy you a Tesla…” I’d take that offer.
For a million dollars you could have like ten Albion swords
I’ve always been a fan of sword and buckler my self…. But I did start with the longsword
My current favorite thing.
longsword guy got a sick jacket tho
I wish I could learn rapier where I live. The only school near me says on their website that they teach mainly longsword and only teach "niche" weapons after months of longsword lessons.
Is it worse if I wanna try whatever it is Dimicator is doing?
haha you do you

Hey I WANTED to do rapier, shortsword and buckler but I didn't have the strength to carry a sword in just one arm 😭
I imagine this is what npcs sound like irl
Myer bases his entire system on the long sword! A long sword is a cathedral.
the real killer was "doubles are so common no one will know if i suck". That hit a nerve. ouch.
A million dollars? Nice offer
So that's where that iron lily comic came from
Classic Parrot
Every monster hunter player
Answer: The Longsword is just COOL!
Brooding crowd: What about the katana?
Lol!
Doubles are so common that no one will know that I suck, is the zinger some people might miss here.
I will give you earth
"I dont care"
And now they made this video into an anime girl
Where?
@@MoonshineH it was ifunny but I don’t remember where to find it. All I know is I came here looking for this video because someone went “they anime girl’d the long sword video guy”
Yes, it is leas efficient than pretty much everything else i could choose. I dont care, its the best one.
I want to learn the longsword.
I want to learn spear and shield lol, like Swift footed Achilles and Hector of the shining helmet
I want to learn the hook swords
I saw Martin Fabian once 😂
Gimme uhhhhhhhhh halberd.
Because COOL 😎

it is. this is simply laughing at our community's fixation with the longsword.
@@AdelaideSwordAcademy Ok, that you for clearing that up for me.

GOOD BOY!
How can i learn this martial art what do i need to google ?
HEMA or historical fencing :) where are you based?
Boy's played too much Monster Hunter.
Yo where did you get this saber? I like the guard :v
Ok, someone please tell me WHY the Coach is so against the Longsword?
I guess because the coach is bored out with longsword at this point, because there are so many other interesting weapons to fence with
Because of this, probably: ruclips.net/video/EdMA1zfs-Bk/видео.html

Is there a specific name for those outfits?
Is it still postmodern, or already metamodern?
But the longsword Is bigger
Why dat woman so angry?
