It's easy to pretend while watching videos that I would be brave enough to fight the warrior on the screen.... But while watching this all I can think is "run away" 👀

Yo, Bjorn, I FINALLY got to partake in my first "fight club" and I found out that my best weapon just so happens to be a greatsword. Landed some solid hits with good form, according to the instructor. Definitely gonna be looking at glorious weapons like that beauty!
by the time you rush the gap the next swing will be a huge risk, either it cuts you down or you beat the opponent. Risky, and the advantage is on the Bjorns side as he can half step to add more distance to let the swing get closer. Don't need a lot of force to kill someone with an edge
Seeing the mass of that beast moving about, I'm trying to think of anything that could parry a blow from it and am coming up blank. o_0 Cue a Monty Python "Run away!"....
@@b1adedthesis Nice idea in concept but I've watched enough HEMA contests and sparring to know that moving the mass of a body to avoid a swinging weapon is problematic at best, especially against something that has a long reach.
@@Panzersoldat it's always easier to move out of the way than it is to parry or block. Much less energy consumed and let's your opponent leave themselves open. They don't use swords anywhere near that big in any hema I've seen.
imagine you have only this beauty to protect your life and family... a training for several hours a day with this piece would make you a real strongman
No it had practical applications in pike formations it’s purpose was to use the waves of the flamberge to bind multiple pole arms and force them to the ground so that your someone with a halberd or pole axe could chop into and break the enemy pikes
Not all great swords are super heavy, and the best way to fight with them is the circular flowing motions to conserve momentum. If you're trying to stop the blade all the time then yeah, you're gonna wear out. A lot of them feel lighter than they look.
I would be defensive until he gets tired of lugging that thing around

Indeed a good idea^^ I came up with the same idea...and that means for the battleswordguy: only swirl fast if you are attacked by someone...if not, chill also :)
but why does the cross guard grow proportionally? Once it's past 30 cm it doesn't really protect more, especially with how one swings a beats like this, it is just a liability waiting to poke your skull and forcing you to swing it in wider circles
one should avoid looking at a zweihander like a longsword. imagining it as a spear/longsword hybrid weapon would be a healthier alternative. Its guard size accommodates its bulk. Note. The taper on the guad. It is hollowed with gaps to account for weight overall. (yes there is taper on the blade geometry as well, yes there are differently sized ones) The guard, its rings, quillons are the way they are to cut down on overall weight whilst offering protection. Point of Balance POB, also is important to factor. Also an attack cutting from above, has greater reach than an attack from below. the mechanics of reach matter. This with the added reach of the zweihander... well.. reach matters and its speed isn't that much less. A long sword user should respect the incredible reach disparity to a sweihander user, the leverage of course is far greater, the speed differences isn't at all what you might think. as goofy as the below video linked is. It gives you an idea that this weapon changes direction decently. It was also quiet neat at controlling of space. ruclips.net/video/OZd6JsYxC7E/видео.html There is no such thing as a perfect weapon though and it will come with cons. for a better watch of Sweihander form and an even closer understanding refer to this video series. ruclips.net/video/3yB9CFacIlQ/видео.html Its a massive multipart seminar and it really drives home how practical it "can" be, where it can be practical and how fast it really is. Speed needs to be measured in much more than just output of the attack. Recovery, overall reach and control of space. It dictates pacing between this weapon and another persons weapon.

At a certain point it just becomes a polearm.

And this is only his bread knife
Whoa, it looks like a real struggle though, I'd love to see that connect with something 😄
Beautiful sword
That sword is huge Mr. Björn!!! 😊
that was awesome.

@@PJDAltamirus0425 Yes, maybe. Still, people spread the idea that swords costed as much as houses or even entire farms, which is just ridiculous.
Oh of course, the last time that was a rule was the migration era period. During the heyday of the zwiehander, most swords were relatively afforable
@@PJDAltamirus0425 Honestly even in that time period. More expensive maybe but but not to that degree.

I thought you were gonna grab an even bigger one at the end.
It looks like edge alignment is a real challenge.
That’s why i custom order all my longswords and colossal swords☝️
potentially the wavy edge helps compensate

Also. Looking forward to Hammaborg this August. Hope to see you there! I am bringing my beauty.
it's not about the size, it about how you use it
In the context of extreme violence size plays a key role
What a unit of a man.

You are the man

When your opps have a pike formation

Ich bin einfach nur neidisch 😂
I mean sure, but you'd have to be an absolute unit to not fall over from over exhaustion after 30 seconds of using that
I mean, yes, soldiers do tend to be pretty fit. Also, despite being large, zweihanders tend to only be around 10 pounds.
Not all great swords are super heavy, and the best way to fight with them is the circular flowing motions to conserve momentum. If you're trying to stop the blade all the time then yeah, you're gonna wear out.
A lot of them feel lighter than they look.
Why choose between a sword and a spear when your sword *is* a spear?
Rollo!
Your zweihander is bigger than my montante?! 😂
in the js is insane
could be a dark soul boss
I suppose you can make that kind of claim when you look like Aragorn's beefcake cousin.
You call that a battlesword? Pff, that's a butter knife
I would be defensive until he gets tired of lugging that thing around
Indeed a good idea^^ I came up with the same idea...and that means for the battleswordguy: only swirl fast if you are attacked by someone...if not, chill also :)
Since my sword question was answered already could anyone tell me about the music, the name of the band and song?
🚬🗿
The bigger it is the harder it fals
Can we see you hit a melon full force with that?
a bit longer and could also use as pike
bruther you are struggling. Still badass tho
where did you acquire such a masterpiece and where can I get one for myself! I implore you sir!
Its from longsword-longleg.de :)
@BjornRuther thank you sir.
Go big or go home!
I think the smaller sword would deal more damage. The bigger sword looks like a pain to swing.
Indeed....its very exhausting.
Calling this a sword is like calling an anti-tank weapon "pistol"
Well it is a sword it’s just meant to bind with pole weapons it’s just a really really big sword
@@PeppyCat210 it's more like a polearm than a sword though
I wonder how much that thing weights.
@@mekingtiger9095 6000g :)
Holy geez, that's way beyond the conventional practical limit! Respekk for wielding one of these, man!
Can these be ordered in the Philippines cause my cardboard zweihander broke
Who made the bigger one?

OK... which anime did you steal that thing out of?
but why does the cross guard grow proportionally? Once it's past 30 cm it doesn't really protect more, especially with how one swings a beats like this, it is just a liability waiting to poke your skull and forcing you to swing it in wider circles
Point of balance

the mechanics of reach matter.

A long sword user should respect the incredible reach disparity to a sweihander user, the leverage of course is far greater, the speed differences isn't at all what you might think.
as goofy as the below video linked is. It gives you an idea that this weapon changes direction decently. It was also quiet neat at controlling of space.

Its a massive multipart seminar and it really drives home how practical it "can" be, where it can be practical and how fast it really is.
Speed needs to be measured in much more than just output of the attack. Recovery, overall reach and control of space. It dictates pacing between this weapon and another persons weapon.
An interesting demo.
