Cossacks Sword Fighting/ Козацький Бій на Шаблях 

🤣👍🏻

hellish Quart brought me here lol

Kozaks not have nation they are from zoporojie not from all Ukraine .

@@timurtimur53 nah, Zaporizhya's territories were free lands, where no one could oppress people. So, firstly cossacks built here headquarters because men gathered here from all Ukraine. Btw, these free men were first cossacks.

What are u talking about this is coearly the new mortem metallum rtx update

Glad I’m not the only dad that does this with his boys

Yeah me and the boys found some sticks and we 4v4 and when we where done we fought the dogs

😂😂😂 If I had soon, I would

have you seen Iaido yet? if not go take a look i would say!

meh in a swords man perspective this looks staged. Also they are trying not to hit each others and only hits eachothers swords. Look for Military saber sparring and you'll find a real good ones

@@N2Nitrator To spar like this "properly", in a martial sense, you would wear protective gloves, and this would essentially be a sniping contest of eachothers hands through lunge and retreat. Because that's what this would be, with zero hand protection, in an actual duel. Unless you had some sort of judicial or cultural rules strictly prohibiting hand cuts, going for a "first blood" sort of deal like in polish sabre. On the other hand, this sword probably carries really well and comfortably as a sidearm, and in a pinch you could draw and unleash it very quickly with quick defensive cuts, or deliver that one devastating blow. Also, it would make for an excellent sabre for light cavalry (which I assume is its origin). Not the best for a duel situation, I think, even against itself. Now, throw in a small shield and I think this could be a perfect fighting sword

You are 100% correct.

Nope totally got it homie, it’s a display of skill to do it with that precision

Undoubtedly. It's obviously enough not to be noticed, is it not? :)

That’s all well and good, but I think the reason for the criticism is because it’s labeled sword FIGHTING masters while showing no actual fighting. If they had called it a sword technique demonstration then maybe people wouldn’t be so opposed to it.

It's like a Form presentation in kung fu or karate. It's made to be theatrical, but it's not any noob who can do it well.

@P Kamino That's what practice swords and protective gear are for.

On slow motion it is visible that they aim for the opponent's sword. To me it looked as flashy movements and a tad stiff motion, especially from the guy with the shirt on.

@@tonsofregrets258 you win

@@derrickcaton3143 can you really call it blocking when your opponent is actively aiming at your sword?

they just aim at the weapons not the body, it's actually quite easy

I wonder how Morihei Ueshiba would have fared against these guys in his prime? As far as I am aware, Aikido was designed for unarmed defence against swordsmen, or something like that not sure... Anyone know for sure?

@@CopperBeech777 Well his skills were trained in dealing with JSA (kenjutsu etc) this is completely different.

@@CopperBeech777 Hmmm... the best unarmed defense masters advice against knife: run... Against saber: run faster :) Mastery will give you a chance to dodge 1-2 attacks or distract swordsman master for a few seconds.

I’m sorry, but what’s the general unarmed defence technique against a sword?

@@khakimzhanmiras Dodge and run. If you are very lucky to distract swordsman - shorten the distance, block hand with a sword and turn fight into wrestling, disarm. On close distance there is no room to attack with a sword. In fair fight chances are close to zero - if swordsman is not trying to chop unarmed guy into 2 pieces with 1 wild swing he can always keep safe distance threatening with pointed end or cutting parts of the sword. Any damage will cause bleeding and weakening of unarmed guy.

I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THIIING 😂

@@geraltdirivia8278 lol me too :D

Even better, there might be a lot of them somewhere there in ukraine 👀

As a Ukrainian, I approve this message:) PS. In Ukraine we we call vodka "Horilka"

@@artemtykhov9711 Horilka sounds like a good time lol

@@rayjordan8513 you are right, our language can be extremely similar, but dialects of Ukrainian change dramatically the further west you go. It's like English coming from a rural Irishman. Can be incomprehensible even for a Ukrainian from the East region. I'd say our mentalities have gone separate ways over the past 10 years. Ukrainians became very freedom conscious after one of our elected presidents tried selling us out to Russia. The capital was a battleground, and he eventually escaped. We chose another president. I'll get a lot of shit for saying this, but Russians never knew what to do with their freedom, they always needed a master, that's how Putin managed to stay in power for a 1/4 of century. There are still concious Russian citizens who wish they could break free, but they are comparatively small in numbers and getting suppressed (no free speech, no right to protest, etc.)

Why you allways had to be stupid and do cheap jokes

@ratdancer77 Thanks, brother! Say hello to Tarczynski for me,please:) I have a great respect for the guy

It is THE MAINE THING - not to hit your partner - tell u as a fencer

🤣🔥

@@COSSACKSUA Hi, I noticed that the sword "dance" was very similar to demonstrating fighting off multiple opponents. Is that the intended purpose or is it just a cool dance?

@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 any combat "dance" has elements of combat,. This video demonstrates, first of all, a high level of sword feeling and good execution technique.

Inb4 people whine about him being OP so he gets knocked back to being a secret optional boss.

@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 dance has nothing to do with combat, it is just flashy moves. And there are no moves at all to fight off multiple opponents. If you have many people against you, you are most likely dead, and nothing will save you anyway.

ukrainians arent Slavs

​@@obaben9179 All it takes is a simple google search before you post to not embarrass yourself.

@@TheComedyCauldron I am Slav myself and i know better than you who is my brother and who is just a trash

​@@obaben9179 A Ukrainian is just as slavic as a Pole, genetically and culturally.

@@TheComedyCauldron you are totally wrong

It looks funny. Poles fight with sabers much better.

Hey man, do you know how long the blades in the video may be and if the kind of blade spin in the video can be done with other types of blades or just the type seen here? Thank you in advance!

There are three main sabers types of sabers used at the period of Cossacks (17-18 century): Polish-Hungarian, Karabela and Husarska (Hussar). You can spin the Polish-Hungarian (they were the most widespread at the time so they are probably the ones you are seeing at that video) and the Karabela ones. You cannot spin the Hussar ones because they have an enclosed hilt. Theoretically, you can spin any saber with an open hilt (but I would not know for sure). In terms of the length, the overall length for all the three types varied from 920-950 millimetres, while the blade was 790-850 millimetres. The width of the blade was 30 millimetres or more for Husar and Polish-Hungarian and slightly less for Karabela (was known for its light weight). Here is a link for you which you will be able to translate if you want: www.akademia-broni.pl/sprzet/szabla/ Thank you for your interest. Made me do the research and find some interesting things out.

Yeah me too

Better not kids 😑

Wow the pinnacle of fighting. Would love to see you guys not use protective gear and spar full contact. Fucking longsword guys

@@sethdusith6093 XD

@@sethdusith6093 agreed, just because the Old Masters used blunt swords and fencing Jacks doesn't mean we have to do it that way too.

Historically accurate cossacks used a lot of guns though

Quaint? You're right as never before :)

@@SuperSlantSo we are drifting... Let me introduce you Quentin Tarantino...

😂

They only targeted each other's sabres. I've seen guys who do Kali using machetes actually go for wrists and tendons while trying to slash each other vs. this fancy dancy art.

@@vincentlee7359 Lol don't be wrong. The performance you have seen was also just a spectacular show (or performers werent much skilled). No company can afford the consumption of performers that real sabre duel would require. Real sabre duel ends by death or serious injury. I wonder if such a result is what you expect. 😀

@@arig.1185 You are mostly correct, but not. You overlook the use of blunts.

@@keeganowens8949 How can you know that? 😉😃 Well, seriously - let's make a point - its an artistic performance. Who (adult and mentally in shape) would expect they would use sharp sabres for an artistic performance? Why should they do that?

@@arig.1185 I would not expect that, nor would most, I think. That is my point exactly, I do not think that they would use sharp sabers, thus there would be no "consumption of performers" at all.

What gave it away? The lack of protective equipment? Them actively aiming for the swords instead of the opponent? The absolute lack of sensible distance? It´s a flashy show fight. Don´t think it is supposed to be taken for more.

@@SangerZonvolt It's a bloody joke comment. Don't think it's supposed to be taken for more.

Yes, good good (read in evil villain voice)

@@icebear326 Jokes on you I read it in anime girl voice

For the sake of art, yes? But to make this scene possible is quite hard, i can say.

Curved saber - is a last point of evolution of cold weapon. after it came the era of firearms.

it's a coreography but yep, still impressive. I wished sword fights would look like this in movies :(

That's because it's totally choreographed, and out of range. They're just swiping at each others' swords, which is a shame, because these guys can actually fight, and presumably DO spar.

this is not a real fight, but it is an impromptu performance. We have been practicing sword wielding for many years, this art has been passed from father to son for many centuries.

@@COSSACKSUA Hey man, can you please tell me how long the blades in the video may be and if the kind of blade spin in the video can be done with other types of blades or just the type seen here? Thank you in advance!

HEMA? Pff. This is HEMA saberfight: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n5w2Mh6CyXo.html

@@SuperSlant Yeah I've seen several of these, they are great!! 😄👍

@@ZamWeazle Then where did you see the features of the HEMA in this clownery? This is clownery with separate clumsy elements of wushu taolu.

@@SuperSlant I should have been more specific. What I meant to say is it looks stylistically like several sword arts. I never suggested it was efficient as HEMA. Just there are stylistically elements of Chinese/Wushu and European sabre arts..combined!

​@@SuperSlant man, you've been hating this video for 4 months in a row and you keep coming back to leave critical comments about how bad this video is on and on. Man, are you ok? Have these guys insulted your mother or killed your beloved one? I mean, what else could cause this reaction from you? You either have nothing to do or you have some health problems like a high level of shit in your head.

funny but I hope you're aware that would need a lot of hours of training to be able to do a coreography like this.

@@Yarblocosifilitico Yes, that's correct. However, this was not actual fighting, though entertaining to watch. Before you say, of course they weren't really fighting, that means someone dies; no. HEMA clubs do it all the time, but they use blunts. (I don't debate the skill of these guys, I've seen them elsewhere and they can fight for real too. But this isn't real.)

@@keeganowens8949 yeah I did say "coreography", as in: not a real fight

@Qiufeng Lu Hmm, I’m unable to appreciate the beauty or the skill? I think it is you who have the problem in your mind. Reread my reply. Note that I said they were entertaining, and I in particular noted the fact that they were highly skilled. My reply was stating that I wished they had shown off more of the skill that I know they have.
