"Do those pommels unscrew?" Thats right, we heard you Skall.

@archiejmmiles6895 6 лет назад

Hamish Woodland there must always be a way to end them rightly!

@americathebeautiful3577 6 лет назад

I like how Skall didn't even acknowlage this comment.

@sebby324 Год назад

Fun fact in an old manuscript it says that unscrewing the pommels and throwing the blade at the opponent to kill them is called to finish him rightly

@TravelingTyrant 8 лет назад

Hello Skallagrim fans! I'm one of the guys in the video and wanted to thank you all for being such dedicated viewers for Skallagrim. I've seen quite a few you-tube communities and you're by far the best. Keep interested, keep watching and share with your friends!

@Skallagrim 8 лет назад

Thanks again for giving the saber seminar and letting me record your sparring, Richard.

@darkxextier 8 лет назад

I'm guessing this is one of the rare people you don't end rightly? Also, good thing they where wearing masks, or they may flag this video.

@PoweRaGER 8 лет назад

Well this profile picture makes you even more likable.

@derekkrumwiede6037 8 лет назад

Richard, you are a HEMA instructor, correct? I am looking to get into sparring with sabers. Do you have any pointers you can give to me here?

@TravelingTyrant 8 лет назад

Sure! Go to HEMA Alliance website and find local club. We have a mapfinder for North America and Europe. Contact the nearest club and see what they have for you. Or, buy my Polish Saber book. Easy to find on Amazon.com and can get you started on that system.

@jerec1267 8 лет назад

wait a minute, you cant just hold your arm out and poke forward 50 times? dark souls 3 PVP has lied to me

@FattsClapMan 8 лет назад

It stops the joke from being clever or funny when you ruin it with a "if you don't get it then X"

@jerec1267 8 лет назад

Fatclap Mans right ill remove it

@Mohrrix 8 лет назад

This is fucking gold hahahahahaha :D

@8523wsxc 8 лет назад

Great video. Unfortunately at the beginning when the screen was dark I saw my reflection on the desktop so I will have to flag the video. Still thanks for the upload.

@Mikeydmc1 8 лет назад

I'm sorry you had to witness that horror I was fortunately not in full screen so I did not have to see my own reflection.

@VaSoapman 8 лет назад

Just throw a pommel at your screen. That'll solve your reflection issues.

@tungstenkraken2929 8 лет назад

I think that's probably the greatest comment. Ever.

@guilhermefrainer2865 8 лет назад

what are you referencing?

@shogunero3.6 6 лет назад

Guilherme Frainer I would like to know too

@skoIt 8 лет назад

I had a teacher who was a historical fencer, he used a style passed through generations in his family; he was a direct descendant of don Juan Quijada de Reayo, one of the most prominent fencers in the old Spanish fencing style. Sadly he died without passing the style because nobody was willing to be his student :/

@goongalass930 Год назад

saddening

@alban402 8 лет назад

Watch out skal, the swords in the back might not want to be in the video luls

@sleep3417 8 лет назад

its a public place they consented to being there, but in youtube land they can issue a takedown

@mariotroll2278 8 лет назад

thanks!

@wazzap500 8 лет назад

ye watch out! They might be throwing their Pommels ;)

@p_serdiuk 8 лет назад

Awful lot of waiting between bursts of activity. Enough to unscrew a pommel, even.

@p_serdiuk 8 лет назад

Aaand here comes Skal's pommel joke. Darn.

@kablouserful 8 лет назад

i think its super hot on that day and you see their sweat at the end, so they are probably more tired than usual

@ravbright 8 лет назад

In a bout such as this the point is "not" to get hit so a lot of caution is taken to be deliberate with ones tactics and deliveries. Its not as exciting as the movies but real life seldom is.

@fakealias1990 7 лет назад

Probably a mix of tired and waiting for the moment to strike when the opponent isn't fully expecting it

@Bassist-Beneath 8 лет назад

What I find so fascinating about these guys is that just about every time they spar there is never a clear winner...they are both on such a high skill level it almost always comes down to luck or a careless mistake, but neither gets careless very much.

@writtenworlds 8 лет назад

See, if you had Ricard's Rapier, you could have used that awesome power attack. You know, the one that takes 6 years to project, then gets instantly parried and kills you? Best attack ever.

@sleep3417 8 лет назад

he fed it to frampt

@slayer7038 8 лет назад

+Burnt Taco my Dark Souls experience "dude theres this cool weapon" "I fed it to Frampt lolol"

@jasv49 8 лет назад

I remember first trying it out and thinking "man, this has to be the best weapon ever, right?" Wrong.

@writtenworlds 8 лет назад

JazzMan Right? A few weapons are like that. "Holy crap this looks awesome! Too bad it's actually garbage." lol.

@yungmalaria 6 лет назад

It seemed to improve in DS2 and 3

@opfor5593 8 лет назад

There was a mod made for Skyrim recently that features many of Skall's weapons, called "Skallagrim's Armory"" on the Skyrim Nexus.

@SolarSAG 8 лет назад

Looks like I'll have to start playing Skyrim... AGAIN.

@ragman150 8 лет назад

Does it feature pommels? Just kidding. The game would be so unbalanced, you could kill a dragon with one shot.

$@thefracturedbutwhole5475$

@thefracturedbutwhole5475 8 лет назад

you can do that anyway it wouldn't unbalance it at all . . . it would be the accurate representation of the power of pommels

@opfor5593 8 лет назад

Frank Wier No, sadly. The author has said that it is the most requested feature and they are working on somthing though.

@samwilliams6820 8 лет назад

I'd like to think there was a pianist with a grand piano just out of camerashot playing that song.

It's fine so long as he doesn't tell anyone he levelled that up

@sarojolibois6088 8 лет назад

@bingersblends7800 8 лет назад

@LemonadeMouthSomebod 8 лет назад

@austing5951 8 лет назад

Skal actually said "do the pommels unscrew?"

@sirmuz 8 лет назад

This is just friendly sparring, we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt

@rebirth2526 8 лет назад

2:41 I hope they did unscrewing but no....

@kellymccabe9154 8 лет назад

Having now taken an intro class at B&I, and seen Lee spar in person, it really hits home how damn good Mr. Marsden is. Cool stuff.

@mythomania_band 3 года назад

a fkn 6 year old kid with 1 year Olympia fencing training would easily beat 90% of the Hema community....go larping, its way more fun...you are just neckbeards playing knights...no martial arts involved

@DavidKyokushin 8 лет назад

"Light contact" ... but it's in the eye. Any contact would hurt like a bitch

@kablouserful 8 лет назад

in real battle? you shouldnt be bothered with some contact with your eye, you shouldnt waste your time thinkin youre about to lose one eye when youre about to lose your life.

@Dr4gonDestroyer 8 лет назад

that doesn't stop pain from occurring

@nejnejgren2315 8 лет назад

the adrenalin of figthing for your life does :P

@redthorpe 8 лет назад

If you get stabbed in the eye, even lightly, you've already lost your sight - at the very least, you'd blink and be open to attack if you weren't blinded by either the blade piercing the eyeball or blood flowing into the eye from the cut

@mindbreak666 8 лет назад

+Dr4gonDestroyer That's when a good 'ole "Nighmarish training from hell" comes in handy...

@TheDanzomanzo 8 лет назад

'Do those pommels unscrew?' Skall is a keen student indeed! Always looking for the advantage!

@NocteLamina 8 лет назад

Thanks for the upload Skal! I love seeing Lee and Richard spar, it's always interesting.

@Duke_of_Lorraine 8 лет назад

Why aren't they playing tag with their rapiers ? They fight like if that kind of weapon could hurt someone !

@Hobobatman1000 8 лет назад

I was hoping that Richard was going to throw his pommel a Lee at the 2:40 point. In all seriousness though, what was he fiddling with his weapon for?

@RinKokonoe 8 лет назад

Switching to the other hand

@10urion 8 лет назад

They switched hands at that point

@TravelingTyrant 8 лет назад

I was getting tired. This was at the end of the day after classes and other sparring. But, glad it came out well.

@somethingsaucy1776 5 лет назад

Sparring is just so fun and it’s cool to watch

@tengkuizdihar 8 лет назад

They are equally good. Damn. I need to learn more of this stuff really. At first it seems that they are going in a slow pace, but irl, im sure there's a lot of adrenaline going on in the process. Nice.

@astaphe9186 3 года назад

I'm impressed by how much control of their point they retain, even in the most ''violent'' of binds.

@RiddleAnim 8 лет назад

@ 0:35 "Well! What is it!" I think he plays Dark Souls. That was almost one-to-one the gesture.

@extrasmack 8 лет назад

Great video Skall! Lee and Richard are a delight to behold. Nice music to set it to as well. It brought to mind Conner MacLeod getting repeatedly run through while drunk. lol

@horrorhouse16 8 лет назад

awesome video!

@bemljj 8 лет назад

this is amazing! especially like how still they appear until one of them see's an opening, also liked how pronounced Richard is with his weight on the back foot, his stance is very relaxed almost ragdoll like but than he pounced like a cat! Lee seemed to have most of his weight on the leading leg... is this correct? thanks for the vid Skall :)

@SireTomWalker 8 лет назад

Thanks for these videos Skal! Really interesting stuff, even for a non-practitioner like me! :P

@Matej_Sojka 3 года назад

I like how it is slow and controlled, technique not flash. There is speed, but only when needed. I wish movies did this, the tension builds up.

@Narlithstern 8 лет назад

@TheActionBastard 3 года назад

I watched the match shift when the hand switch happened and instantly thought of The Princess Bride where the protagonist indicates he is not using his dominant hand and they switch... too funny.

@grashol15 8 лет назад

most of the fights realy are decided with one good hit.

@mythousandfaces 8 лет назад

Seeing these, you realize that rapier and other unarmored sword combat would result in really horrific injuries, holy shit.

@hallowedfool 8 лет назад

Gee, swords could cause harm. Who knew? ;)

@mythousandfaces 8 лет назад

Well, you assume they would but you're less aware of how likely an eyeball or mouth stab is going to be.

@darkxextier 8 лет назад

A large sword would lop off a limb or just kill you fast... while thin swords made for puncturing... They will enter and just destroy all your organs, and all you can do is sit there and bleed out slowly. it's not fast like losing an arm or a head, it's very, very, very slow and i could imagine very painful.

In real combat you're not using your hand to grab the rapier eithet so you might as well allow light contacts in my opinion. It would allow more fluent movement.

I noticed that red socks was quite impatient for the field and was almost always the one making the attack, and usually getting hit as a result. combined with white shin guards generally not pressing the attack and just moving backwards for an opening to strike. Would be curious to see how white initiates an attack, if ever. in any case, fun duel guys!
