- Derick Flitcroft and I fight for the right to represent the USA at the AMFC's international qualifier tournament. The IMCF world championship will be held in Belmonte, Spain in the same castle where, "El Cid" and "Flesh and Blood" were filmed. I was a world champion there in in 2014. I was a mercenary there in 2015. 2020 will be my thrid visit.

Love that the ref is stuck in there with y’all and has to scoot out of the way
An accident waiting to happen.
Ohoho. I've viewed this fight a few times to understand why Derick lost.
At first I thought the main problem is in how his tactical decisions seemed to be not aimed to achieve palpable tactical goals, but to think of it, bulk of those decisions started after he caught some important blows - 0:30, 0:34 (that was a weird decision on his part),1:04, 1:47, 1:52. So, it's easy to imagine that pain and constant knocking at the head were the culprit.
So then, what led him to catching these hits?
Reviewing up to 0:34 and 1:04 made me think that he subtly misunderstands how poleweapons work. Perhaps he has few misconceptions about how fighting works in general. If he wants to improve, he needs more theory and practice. Perhaps drills to keep some solid patterns when brain partially goes offline might help? Becoming more pushy would be an improvement.
And perhaps something more bashy than his primary weapon. If his weapon can't effectively rock his opponent through armor; while his opponent's can do that to himself - that's a 1/3 of a fight being lost. Seems like Simon was only affected after catching hits to the head and fingers grom Derick's weapon.
It's interesting to see Derick's spirit. He kept going even after tanking down quite a few hits. Don't think it's healthy, but pain tolerance is useful for these kinds of fights.
You've shown quite a skill and experience. Some great explosive strength too. Wow!
Thanks for sharing this video!
That was great to read. Welcome.to my channel. I think you will find some entertainment here. -the guy in red-
I've already found a lot of fun stuff here. ^_^ Elfpushups made my day ^_^
This is extremely interesting. I want to watch & learn more. Cool af
Thank for watching and welcome to my channel. I am the guy in red. Tons more like this on my channel
Hey bud, could you do some videos on how you train? what are your favorite lifts? what drills do you like to devolop striking power/ coordination, what you do for cardio, etc? could be a whole series. Also basic videos on axe grappling and techniques you believe in would be great. Big fan.
I am working on it. I have a knee surgery coming up so I will have lots of time
@@axemaster very cool. i am eagerly awaiting the training vids. Would be very nice to have some good insight to the training philosophy of a legend like you. Also good luck on the knee surgery.
Ok I finally did one
It wasn't great but not terrible. I will do a part two as a pack tonight for greatsword tourney in Utah
@@axemaster awesome. I will for sure watch it. Our growing community needs experienced guys like you sharing their knowledge. Greatly appreciate it!
Who was in the red. He was aggressive and he got a few good hits in.
That's me. This is my channel. :-)
this is terrifying
You have really good accuracy with such a large weapon.
So awesome I'd love to get into this
Too fast man! Seemed like he could only really try and react to the haymakers. Even then almost got cleaned on a couple
Thank you!! Speed = Power
Man that ref has some balls to be in there without protection o.O

@Lane Salvatore Yup, I have been using Flixzone} for since november myself :)
@Lane Salvatore Yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself =)
how does one get into a sport like this? I really wanna try it out.
Look for your nearest local team by searching the nearest large city or your state or country with as many of the following terms as you need until you find something: buhurt, hmb, imcf, acl, acs, acw, battle of the nations, steel combat, medieval combat, armored combat, medieval armored combat (and replace "combat" with "fighting")
And you can also post your location here and see if anyone reading this knows the closest group to you.
Just found your channel. You smoked that other guy, that's a sub earned! 🏅
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my content!!
You are an absolute tank and I love watching you destroy everyone
This video explains why axes beat lances in Fire Emblem
How do you get involved in this sport?
Google search "armored combat" in your area. You can also find.various leagues.on facebook
1:50 1:56 those blocks are insane
blue seems to be at an disadvantage since he has a spear and there is no thrusting.
Yeah they usecthisecto have the lightest thing to score points with
As you can see, I don't fight that way.
Are pokes not allowed?
No, unfortunately that is the most dangerous technique so when we use unlimited force in a combat sport, we can't use thrusts.
@@axemaster oh, okay. Thanks for answering
Oh Simon... Again with the nut shots😂😂
Again are you talking about a previous video where you didn't actually watch to the end where he literally says it wasn't in the cup
@@axemaster just the one where it cuts out with him on the ground🤷 just a joke man I'm a fan
@@richardnixon2569 sorry man, just starting to get sensitive from being trolled about it bu people that can't tell what they are looking at. That is yoi are talking about is from a longer fight on my channel. It looks bad but the hit is to the upper front thigh hip. The full fight video has him talking about it
Interesting choice to bring a spear and not stab. Do the rules prohibit that for safety?
Yeah it is. There a poleamr called a "partizan" that it is made to resemble. These are lightweight to score points but there is not much impact. I dont fight that way. Check out the rest of my videos here to see what I am talking about.
@@axemaster I see that. You go for the KO or TKO and get it more than not lol
"ahh at last, a worthy challenge"
Not a Fair fight. In real life the guy with the spear is supposed to thrust and pierce. He's not allowed to do this here. They both should have had the same weapons. Clearly the guy with the poleaxe can do more damage with the axe. What's the point of the spear if you can't use it as intended.
The matches are scored like boxing with numbers of hits disarms and throws counted as points he wanted something that was light and fast he knew you can't thrust with it he chose to do that anyway I choose to fight a different wayThe matches are scored like boxing with numbers of hits disarms and throws counted as points. He wanted something that was light and fast. He knew you can't thrust with it he chose to do that anyway. I choose to fight a different way. The results are clear.
can you not do a stab? I feel like that would change the game a little
Yoi are right,, it take much of the art from the form...but uts against the rules because its too dangerous to stan with the force we use.
Video titled Medieval ax fighting and neither of these guys have axes . . . .
Yeah the algorithm isn't make "volgue" or "polearm" a popular search term. BTW its not "medieval" at the moment either.
ehi it's not fair your weapon is way more dangerous than his one, it's like an hammer vs a stick. Still good moves toh
He was using a super light one to score points. For me, scoring points is secondary. My goal is to fight, points are a byproduct.
You have been invaded by dark spirit Simon
Lol wut?
@@axemaster Dark souls ;>
@@bunniesandbuns6869 oohhh that is a frustrating video game just from watching people play it. I know people have compared me to an opponent in that game.
@@axemaster It is indeed very hard. I would know, as I am playing it.
Hello
Hi
🤣🤣🤣🤣 wtf is this?!
Yoo this is bad
