GREATSWORD BATTLE  

She's probably pretty cool in reality but damn that's some NPC dialogue right there lol

​@@flashdimensonshe's just acting in character!😂

😂😂😂

💀

Moi c est le petit qui cri avec la voix de rumbo qui m à fait peur😅😅😅

Depends on the helmet. Sometimes you have great visibility.

​@@GrantTheKnightoh

😂😂😂😂

​@@GrantTheKnightFacts I can see just as well with most helmets. Its just hard to see whats directly beneath you from my experience. I could see well but I was prone to tripping over tree roots at first because I couldn't see my feet.

Keep swinging buddy.

Im just imagining Armored Randy Orton slamming the GOT Iron throne on them, breaking the throne into the individual swords its made of making a bigger mess on the ground than the entirety of the show's final season.

Outta NOWHERE!!

MAH GAWD! MAH GAWD!

SIR BUBBA, GET THE TABLES

KERPOW OH HE TOOK ONE TO THE FACE

yes

‘‘Twas beautiful lol

'Twas indeed sir! Man it's gotta be so hard fighting in all that! I'm a Viking/Saxon reenactor and just wearing a padded jack and mail is enough for me haha! Good fight 💪

The guy in Black = The Hound The guy in Pink = The Mountain

The leverage he had was beautiful

Not to mention Red's teep at the beginning 😼

Born in the wrong time period

That’s accurate. I hate to say it’s just more of a tag for a generalization of what people think to why I did it. These are somewhere in between, both nearly 5ft if I recall correctly.

If you look even closer you can see one is a messer while the other is an executioners sword

@@taildecker9364 ah yes that is true. Left is Messer and right with the rounded tip is the executioner's.

It’s technically a Russian style grand falchion, very close to a messer

No, no it isn’t, look at any historical source, those are far too chunky, far too heavy, far too long. They aren’t even in the spadone range, they are greatswords. The problem is that bohurt doesn’t care, it’s unhistorical, neither of these swords would ever see combat, especially for anything armored

two very different hobbies my guy, both silly and fun so chill

​@@yellow242bro got offended. I played airsoft and this looks like a lot more fun. Airsoft was fun don't get me wrong but I'd love to have a classic swordfight.

​@@lazy_panda_plays9970 ima tend to disagree, but that could entirely be just because im somewhat defent at airsoft and suck at this lmao. Airsoft better imo but hes right its two different hobbies. Both are really fun

@@bendythedancingdemon3544 I completely agree with you, both are super fun (though I've never done sword fighting), I did love the ghillie sniping in airsoft the most because it would scare the shit out of people lmao

@@lazy_panda_plays9970 swordfighting is as good as advertised, but airsofting with your buddies is something else. Like roleplaying airsoft is so fun dude.

"Thanks! Sorry! Thanks!"

Underrated @@hyphangaming

@@ChristianTurnerLifts For Honor players when they see another For Honor player in the wild

@@hyphangaming Good Fight!

Gotta give credit to the one in red for attempting a shoulder bash 😂 I even liked his centurian kick in the beginning

😂😂😂

It's called a "keeper."

@@nicholasbyram296 That women had viking blood

Thanks and hey I’ve got him a couple times lol

@@GrantTheKnighthaha you did well. Keep up the posting !

Well, you've got moments like 0:40 where red hit black in the head. In the movies that would be a kill shot. But in this case it didn't even slow black down. So, is it because these weapons are dull? Or did medieval knights just not bother bashing each other in armor (since it seems to be nearly irrelevant compared to the wrestling)?

​@@cra2cra226plate armour, combined with a large amount of padding, is enough to make most weapons really ineffective. You generally wouldn't even want to kill a knight, since capturing one alive could give you a LOT of ransom money, but if you had to, you'd do so by wrestling him to the ground and stabbing the gaps with a dagger. Full plate was prohibitively expensive for everyone but the very richest though, so encounters like these would be uncommon

​@@cra2cra226the blades are extremely dull and this is 2023 so yeah.

Who made that falchion? I want one.

Eh kriegmesser is a bit different

​@@Daniel_RoachIf it has a knife handle, it's a kriegsmesser, otherwise it's a falchion. I couldn't make it out on my phone.

@danielmittsjr.8963 dude, no.

⚔️⚔️⚔️

It is!

hell yeah! i want to try it, but it seems to have such a high cost to entry and there aren’t many hobbyists near Dallas (my local area) that I could find online… It’ll have to wait till 2025 or so when I have money to spend on it, sadly 😢

@@decal4707 how much is it

@@hackman3You'd be spending as much as a PC setup on some quality armor. From what I read, similar to airsoft, you definitely don't wanna cheap out on equipment because quality matters.

It's all fun and games till you get punched in the face with a gauntlet lol.

Definitely does sometimes.

Well thanks! We were doing this match as if in the world competition that was coming up we were going to attend so a little more thought into the movement.

It’s a sad day when our weapons break 😞

I hope that wasn’t his own sword

@@GrantTheKnight are you able to hit with the palm of the sword? never seen anyone actually do it and it could catch someone offguard

​@burlyraccoon5029 do you mean the pommel?

@@dylannecros3636 yes

Somewhere in North America?

​@@ianmacfarlane1241Ireland or Scotland most likely. But the guy could just be from there, no telling where this was taken place.

It felt wild 😂

I can’t wait to do this in some castle, ruins or not.

Right ! Right!!!! 😂😂😂

I saw it too

Same energy as "grab his dik and twist it!"

I think he said kick him in the face.......a round house hahahaha. Get that guy another beer

i was searching for this comment...I almost gave up😅😂😂 that pirate voice makes it so much better🤣🤣

athletes.. lol

this is close to a tournament fight than a battle field, cuz no knight would kill another knight with a sword in the battlefield

Oh I understand, knights typically wouldn't try to kill one another, but capture them and be held for ransom. But when they did, and they did kill each other, it consistently stabbings to the face and wounds that evaded the armor.

Thanks man and glad you like it!

It’s a risk but they have to move, breath, and see and they’re out there the entire time. Those helmets get exhausting quick.

@@GrantTheKnight i heard they can weigh as much as 18 pounds is that true?

@@Sir_Hammockyup. My helmet is like 16

Not all that hard actually. Honestly wish we still fought like this. Anyone can push a button to drop a bomb, it takes nerves of steel to stab someone in the chest through plated armour

@@joeymadara7266 This sounds incredibly disrespectful to soldiers that still go through hell despite others "pushing a button"

@@smolpp585 Yeah it's incredibly naive way to look at it lol.

​@@smolpp585His mind is gonna be blown when he realizes the bows won the wars and samurai had guns. History is wild.

​@@joeymadara7266 Knights wouldn't be doing that mate, not often, they'd be riding down peasants or other lightly/unarmored enemy infantry or archers whilst their own archers did the bulk of the work. Platemail basically made you a tank, and it was very difficult to deal with for any enemy who was not able to afford the correct weaponry or sufficient armor. Honestly, you could be completely mediocre but in plate and fight the best swordsman in the world who had no armor, and you'd probably win. Why? Because it's really fucking hard for them to actually hurt you seriously meaning, but it will only take a single decent strike to put them down, you can just intentionally bait hits and respond among other tactics. We automated warfare, as we did with everything, but actual live combat isn't something to idolize mate, it's a disgusting practice that only causes suffering to everyone involved. The enemy dies or is crippled and your own soldiers are permanently scarred. Why would you ever want to fight up close when you can minimize risk anyway? That's literally the same methodology behind plate, keeping the user as safe as possible and minimizing risks.

Check my how to get started video!

​@@GrantTheKnightaight bet

Same here

Thanks! Good to meet ya and welcome!

He is fr

@@GrantTheKnight vivat la france!

I am fairly sure that's a two handed falchion; but it's difficult to tell because often the only real difference between the two is the handle. This one seems to have a round leather grip with an actual pommel, a proper sword's handle; whereas a messer would have a wooden knife-like handle with a simple metal cap as a pommel. As for the blade, there is a considerable overlap between falchion blades and messer blades, so it's not so easy to tell the difference at first glance.

Yeah most swords you wouldn’t feel but these do well for blunt force. Mine hits harder than my axe does and I’ve made plenty of dents on others - same for him I have dents on my armor to prove it. When it hits, it hurts, and when it gets in between the armor, it hurts like hell.

the real pain is in the ears when your bucket get thwacked

No joke, when it hits right it’s like a gong or a bell 😂

I understand all that gear is cumbersome, but I didn't see any swings hard enough to do any significant damage. (Especially from the bigger guy) Even if thwacked right in the head, I don't think those swords have enough weight to cause concussive damage. Maybe disorient someone, but not knock them out.

​@@GrantTheKnightDo yall have mace fights? That would be the one to knock someone out.

You obviously don't know the definition of chivalry. It urks me when people try to use vocabulary to sound smart, but use it completely wrong. Just say what you mean, don't go outside your 6th grade reading level to _try_ to impress people on the internet. It's second hand embarrassing.

humans are animals, congratulations.

What country?

Both bulkier and safety. Major rule is to be safe!

Our stuffs a little bulkier than some museum pieces and close to others. Often it’s 10-2.0 lbs heavier but we want to go home since the weapons are solid steel too (and that’s what differentiates us from others like HEMA is ours are solid thick steel).

also they trained since the age of 7
