@@alejandropaulos4079 For sure. And those blades are not sharp. But any misstep, any rythm change could lead to pain, broken bones and teeth or drawn blood anyway.
Well done guys I showed this to my 90 year old mother who was a fencing champion. She said it was the most accurate sheildplay she had seen Also, your speed and accuracy from the camera angles is superb. I am once again gobsmacked
Damn impressive stuff. Allowing yourself to get your face that close to a metal blade (blunt or not) moving that fast takes a lot of trust. Love your choreography.
Respect to them for the amount of control they have on themselves with those swords to not hurt their partner while display such techniques. Even if those are props which can still hurts too expecially the eyes.
I used to fence so maybe I'm biased but these sword fighting masters are the best thing on RUclips! They really bring the martial art and physicality of our long gone ancestors to the modern era. Well done, gentlemen!
Shields need more love. The only notable characters that use them in fantasy are Peter Pevensie (Narnia) and Link (Legend of Zelda). Wildly under appreciated medieval armament.
I had the same thought. One would think that in worlds full of swords and other melee weapons, not to mention bows/arrows, a shield would be quite valuable tool. The most recent shield-user that got any note from the public (that I'm aware of) was from an anime (Rising of the Shield Hero).
Its not strange at all, shields makes choreography for cinematography a lot harder. And I wouldnt say its rare to see shields in any medieval fantasy setting.
@@khurgar8120 By any chance, can you name one or two? I quite enjoy seeing shields in fantasy (though it's usually in books), so if you have some recommendations, that would be awesome.
Whoever has been telling the theatrical combat crowd that accurate shield use isn't telegenic enough... isn't good at it. GOT in particular, needed ADOREA!
Ahoj Adoreo! Velice pěkné video. Ostatně, jako všechna předchozí. Chrlíte je pěkně rychle za sebou, to vám můžou všichni ostatní jenom závidět. A zaměření toho dnešního na boj se štíty je opravdu výborný nápad, dlouho tu nic takového nebylo a moc jsem si je užil. Jen tak dál!
I think one of the reasons Adorea Olomouc's fighting choreography looks so good and compelling isn't just that it has roots in more realistic techniques. But that it is an actual exchange. We have a lot of fighting scenes in cinema where the hero twirls their sword, parries, blocks and dodges every blow, and their opponents helplessly stand by to wait their turn to get killed. But in these videos you see all combatants involved trade blows. Even when there's a clear protagonist, they take blows as well, they get their own strikes parried and have to deal with a back-and-forth, fighting an opponent rather than some goon where we already know that their proverbial script doesn't extend past a few pages. It's an actual fight that could go either way and you feel the franctic tension. Which is pivotal when you're doing choreography for cinema.
Shield to the front of the neck, inner thigh, or underarm after a quick parry is a game ender. I liked to see them being used to disarm. The osoto gari at the end with buckler combat was especially sweet.
That actially worried me as the throw at the end was also very dangerous since it looked like the nage did not have proper control of the uke's arm and almost ended up dropping him on his head into the mat less wooden floor.
It’s simply breathtaking what these people do… Mostly under any RUclips video you have all kinds of comments; (not surprisingly) under these one(s) there are only astonished ones!👏🙏🙇
The grappling, trapping and even the throws while deftly handling weapons were quite impressive. HEMA looks a lot more like Kali or Kung Fu in some cases than one might have thought (but at a high level of skill in Combat it inevitably would I now see). Great video.
0:07 I suppose in a real fight, they would make an attempt to NOT hit the shield, but slice the arm of the shield holder instead. But this option is probably a bit less attractive if you are actually fighting friends.
Dear Hollywood Directors, PLEASE hire these guys (at any price) for any and every sword era combat scene in every movie set in that era for the foreseeable future.
It really is exceptional. I wonder if it might be easier to read with less camera movement and longer reactions on the wounding strikes. Just a thought. Best historical based choreography I’ve ever seen.
Cool video and great fighting. I hope that something like this would be shown in movies instead of over the top jumping attacks. Despite me thinking that in real fight most of the time would be spent waiting behind your shield
If the fantasy comic I’m making ever takes off and is popular enough to get a live adaptation I want Adorea as stunt and fight scene coordinators. These guys are proof historical techniques can be cinematic!
I won't lie I was expecting Shield on Shield Action but then we get sword and Shield Action duo fights... And I LOVE UT JUST AS MUCH. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ hmmm is it possible to make a full kite Shield battle nwith these guys or a new way of CAPTAIN America shield battle style?
Guys it is a sample of the technique what people can do not a 'real fight'. Those guys are indeed real Martial Artist and Combat Athletes (i guess?) just enjoy the show and try to learn no hate man.
this is just what Ive been looking for. Its so hard to see how shields are used agresively in combat out side of some stupid person trying to do a normal shield bash

The point many may miss about this is the absolute trust these guys have in their training partners. Built over time with skill, and very impressive.
Those are choreography
@@alejandropaulos4079 For sure. And those blades are not sharp. But any misstep, any rythm change could lead to pain, broken bones and teeth or drawn blood anyway.
Seriously someone in Hollywood stunt advising on films like The Last Duel needs to hire these guys.
Hollywood is dead
Well done guys

Hollywood style stunts, working too hard and too close to impress their crowds.
@@2adamast What part about these guys being fight choreographers doing fight choreography don't you understand?
What amazing control and trust with each other!
Breathtaking show my friends
Always a treat to watch you guys train. Awesome as always.
Damn impressive stuff. Allowing yourself to get your face that close to a metal blade (blunt or not) moving that fast takes a lot of trust. Love your choreography.
Thanks for that! :)
That shield grapple and disarm at 0:38 was smooth as butter. Beautiful.
Not really, looked predictable,
Respect to them for the amount of control they have on themselves with those swords to not hurt their partner while display such techniques. Even if those are props which can still hurts too expecially the eyes.
I was going to say...at least eye protection recommended
THESE MEN ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.

0:56 the sparks. This channel is so fucking good.
Best shield fighting I have ever seen in my life.

Shields and spears. 9/10 times theyre missing entirely and half the time theyre included theyre implemented horribly.
Its not strange at all, shields makes choreography for cinematography a lot harder. And I wouldnt say its rare to see shields in any medieval fantasy setting.

@Aboc Stark that's one of the things I really appreciated about Gladiator, that Maximus was constantly using his shield as a weapon to great effect
That chokeslam at the end gained my sub
Finally a short sword sparring video I love it

Wow, choreographed or not - amazing techniques at an incredible speed and accuracy!
The control shown by each in going at this speed without hurting their partner is astounding. !bravissimo!

I concur.
Reminds me of the proverb:
“ Many rivers from the same source flows”
@@Tom_Framnes Well said.
I've been told that Kali and Silat has taken many forms from medieval European fighting techniques.
Agree! Martial arts in medieval europe were very well developed, as we can see in original books
Très bien ça restitue la violence des combat
Could not stop rewatching that trick at 0:40. So clean.
0:07 I suppose in a real fight, they would make an attempt to NOT hit the shield, but slice the arm of the shield holder instead. But this option is probably a bit less attractive if you are actually fighting friends.
Amazing sword and buckler/shield form :)
These guys still having ten digits and two eyes alone shows how professional they are at what they do
This would come in handy when riding in an NYC subway
Words can not express how much I love this and wish there were more of this in the USA.
These guys are UNREAL!!! So awesome!
The demo is well entertaining...love it...I had no idea could move like that with a shield.
Very intense! It feels like you all have the skills to kill if wanted. Nice work on the camera too.
Best representation of shield fighting ever. You guys need to be doing the choreography for all period action movies
Amazing work ! A martial art movie in medieval Time would be amazing
*LOVE IT! This is aggressive fighting techniques and extreme violence as it must be*
Просто красавцы, динамично, агрессивно, очень понравилось ))) Снимите свой средневековый Escape from Tarkov/Raid, зайдет на Ура
I would love to see this kind of sword fight choreography in movies.
Dear Hollywood Directors, PLEASE hire these guys (at any price) for any and every sword era combat scene in every movie set in that era for the foreseeable future.
Watch it twice! Half speed to appreciate the techniques and full speed to appreciate the intensity :) Well done!
Хореография бодрая, надеюсь чаще видеть такой уровень на экранах
man..... it is so amazing to see you guys! amazing job guys!
Man I can't wait to see movie choreographers making shit like this, it is awesome!! Also using a shield is like dual wielding.
It really is exceptional. I wonder if it might be easier to read with less camera movement and longer reactions on the wounding strikes. Just a thought. Best historical based choreography I’ve ever seen.
Cool video and great fighting. I hope that something like this would be shown in movies instead of over the top jumping attacks.

Especially this exchange 1:13 who thought realistic, practical sword fighting couldn't be flashy?
Oh yeah, shields getting some love.
0:39 was heckin amazing!
Amazing! Greetings from Brazil.
Looks like a great way to lose an eye. You folks must really trust one another! ;)
the camera work was on point too, even if its not realistic looks super cool, good stuff
Absolutely fantastic! Would love to see some viking shield techniques sometime too.
I LOVE THIS GROUP!
ROCK ON!
i will definitely watch your content man, this is so really badass
That's some crazy battle work
You guys are amazing!
The fact Grey Hair guy never fails to go down amazes me, how can such an experienced warrior lose so much
This is beautiful!!!
Fantastici, bravissimi...complimenti adrenalina pura💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
That was so much fun to watch! Beautiful!!
Imagine seeing this kind of stuff in movies
I need more of this.
I wish I had access to a fight club like that! but for now I will just keep making swords and practice alone
You guys do crazy stuff. Coolest I’ve ever seen XD
Always intense...
Wow, that's a good work... 👏👏👏
impressing skills! With you as stunt coordinators, "kingdom of heaven" would have been a 10 at imdb
the last one was frightning. he could kill the man when hit the floor with his head and full body weight comes on it.
i cant wait to duel people at the supermarket now
Très impressionnant, bravo !

Love it)
This is why I prefer missile weapons or a spear
Срочно в исторические фильмы! Лучшие!
Now this is amazing
Man that was brutal.
Beautiful.
Greetings from Hamaa! I love sword and shield work we do a lot of it ourselves would love to compare notes.
Great job!
This was frigging epic!
Как всегда 👏 !
Лучшие))
awesome as allways
THAT looks better, the absolute majority of the fights, I see in movies !
Oh! You’re the guys who made that long sword short film!
Bravi 👏👏👏👏 siete spettacolari
This video is badass.
this is just what Ive been looking for. Its so hard to see how shields are used agresively in combat out side of some stupid person trying to do a normal shield bash
Amazing stuff!
Well done!
well-choreographed dances with tambourines

1:30 If you say so.
My eyes were gouged out just from watching this video...
Svaka cast!
So you guys do choreography for movies? That was some outstanding work guys, well done!
Idc what anybody says, realistic medieval combat is way better than the fantasy spinny bs in all media
Indeed (why don't they hire HEMA practitioners to do coreographies?)
So badass!
