While I'll be damned, the For Honor raider uses actual dane axe technique. Everyone kept saying he was just wildly swinging his axe.

[@lee-zy3mc]

This is why I rolled my eyes so hard whenever I see TV shows Vikings fighting with no shirt on.

[@bloodredcommanderigris3469]

The guy in the green Gambeson is very skilled, excellent stance. Never realised I enjoyed axe sparring 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TheWelshRaider]

He really is good at it to be fair. He has taught me loads

[@user-gk4tc5le8e]

Whoa, so cool. Thank you for this video!

[@SpearEnjoyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@TheWelshRaider]

It was GLORIOUS

[@GrizzTheShaman]

please keep uploading more dane axe sparring love your guys content! as someone who loves and considers the dane axe to be my preferred weapon as well as using these sparring matches as inspiration for some of my fantasy writing i cant thank you guys enough! your the first people i've found on YT that actually fight with some aggression and speed instead of only playing it safe so again nothing but applause

[@SpearEnjoyer]

Thank you! We are trying to experiment and find the niche that these weapons fit into. Our latest sparring as shown them to be very effective when used with armor, next we are planning on testing them against multiple opponents and coming up with some scenarios to test out

[@GrizzTheShaman]

@@SpearEnjoyer awesome thank you i look forward to it! but honestly these free sparring sessions are also incredible something id reccomend maybe is instead of breaking the flow of combat after a hit is landed just continue is a freestyle session ? call the hits as they come but dont break and keep going where you are just some food for thought but your guys videos are absolutely incredible and help both my writing and my own techniques with the Dane Axe

[@SpearEnjoyer]

@@GrizzTheShaman Usually we leave it running if we can now, sometimes we will have a discussion and breakdown of what happened or if there's a long pause in the action I will tend to cut it out as to not waste ant time and keep things moving 😁

[@GrizzTheShaman]

@@SpearEnjoyer if you want! soemthing that would help alot of people is adding CC Subtitles with what you two are describing since i do notice it can occasionally be hard to hear you guys

[@SpearEnjoyer]

@@GrizzTheShaman I will start adding subtitles to the videos, thanks!

[@MrCakedo]

Hey I fight danes too, I find that using the dane like a spear/zweihander works great.

[@jormundgarner]

And what happened, then? Well, in North West Historical Fencing they say - that the black gambeson guy finger's grew three sizes that day.

[@TheWelshRaider]

Let's just say taking my gloves off was a chore hahaha

[@evildavehargrave3240]

3 on 3 would be cool to see!...way more realistic action and techniques

[@SpearEnjoyer]

Would LOVE to do some team stuff, just need to find more people willing to get involved!

[@Beatts_Media]
