I just love the sounds of the swords connecting in midair.

@D.Ronoa69 6 лет назад

The clashing of blades! Love it!

@hitmanwolf 6 лет назад

it is such a sharp sound that pleases my ear holes...

@DarkGaming251 6 лет назад

It does sound rather nice lol

@shawnwolf5961 6 лет назад

I definitely agree. Now imagine the sound of two pommels colliding in midair!

@DannyMakesVideosIGuess 6 лет назад

The Earth would implode

@sirhcmoonwing 6 лет назад

Damn the way they change stances and adjust to the opponent's movement is incredible. I probably missed 90% of those strikes without the slowmo.

@HebaruSan 6 лет назад

Such good sports, constantly calling hits on themselves and voiding their own hits!

@LargeBanana 6 лет назад

imagine if 2 million dollars is on the line. trust me, the honor would be but a whisper of the past.

Hello from argentina

@Nerobyrne 6 лет назад

makes me think it would be better to judge a video tape after the match, it's really hard to see live.

@quentinpillet2341 5 лет назад

Yep that's why I dislike Mainstream sports, most of the time it's more about winning than anything else.

@naminogiri 5 лет назад

It depends on the scoring system, is judged only the hit, not all the dinamic, in kendo the refrees are the only who ghive or not points, what fighters (or "seconds") have to say are irrelevant, that's because the scoring system are much more complex so just feeling of hit or not are not enough Over that are a demonstration of good spirit, instead of the poor show we see in olympic fencing

@TGoO14 6 лет назад

The women of HEMA are quite ferocious aren't they, great video.

@MrJust2times 6 лет назад

They mostly have lighter words. Even that they are weaker than man i think that really fast movement and accurate movement comes from that. maaaaybe. Random shittalker signs out. ^^

@simonrooijakkers850 6 лет назад

Are you British? Genuine question

@auroraourania7161 6 лет назад

Phylotoffer maybe slightly lighter, but still within what you'd see historically. Weight isn't really a huge constraint for a longsword since you have so much leverage. It would be a bigger issue for broadsword or especially rapier, where weight can really start to cause issues due to being one handed. A lot of tournaments don't even segregate men and women. The women are at a bit of a disadvantage, due to being weaker, but strength rarely is the most important factor in a swordfight, so some women often get fairly far.

@erikbailey2525 6 лет назад

Same swords as everyone else uses.

@Skallagrim 6 лет назад

"They mostly have lighter words." Nope, male and female fighters use the same kind of swords.

@Zach-ci4sz 6 лет назад

The Amount of speed Lee moves at is incredible. During the broadsword segment I was blown away with his agility. Bravo!

@reanamet1901 6 лет назад

Yeah, I was particularily impressed at that perfect duck-and-counter to the leg at 7:07. Lightning fucking reflexes, or maybe he just read the move well.

@giggityguy 6 лет назад

It's interesting how distinctive Shawn's longsword style was compared to what I've seen from the other fighters in the tournament

@MrMakinCupcakes 6 лет назад

@fattiger6957 6 лет назад

Skallagrim got annoyed by them and did a driveby pommel throwing from the back of his destrier.

@ninjahombrepalito1721 6 лет назад

You edit all these scenes together minus the strikes that counted points, and you get a pretty good movie fight action scene: 1:02, 1:09, 1:30, 1:50, 2:25, 4:18, 4:37, 5:09, 5:56, 10:36, 11:02, 11:16, 11:30, 11:45, 12:12, 13:29.

@rantnhnaketon 5 лет назад

I'm about to try this

@Alpha.Phenix 6 лет назад

7:07 Legendary deflect!

@adancein 6 лет назад

I went "wow" loudly - really awesome move!

@gt4lex 6 лет назад

Yeah, that move was brilliant in addition to being pretty spectacular looking. Hollywood should use moves like that instead of random spinning coregraphies.

@blackdeath4eternity 6 лет назад

@GT-Alex ageed.

@No-df5vh 6 лет назад

What legendary is there to this. The guy didn't actually block the attack and followed up with a hittrade (head for thighs). The block itself wasn't proper and it's easier to do than you think. Look, HEMA guys are certainly amazing but giving them credit where it's not due isn't too good

@Alpha.Phenix 6 лет назад

Our understanding of what thighs are, must be diffrent then. And he didn't get hit, the blade just bounced of his head *with the flat* , meaning the ''block'' was proper enough.

@shadowpenguin-skyrimbuilds8663 6 лет назад

That was a great match, and a little more aggressive than the long sword sparring videos that's for sure!

Never in my life I've seen such disrespect to women, they're fighting in final, showing good sportsmanship... AND NO BAGPIPES FOR THEM!!!!!!!

@gohan9080 6 лет назад

I am ever grateful they are gone, to be honest. They only belong in Scotland. Please keep them there, scotts! They're okay in moderation, though...

@mikhailvasiliev6275 6 лет назад

If anything, that's respectful >_>

@mumtazahmed8138 5 лет назад

if i were there i would have done something about it.

@Kn.77 3 года назад

Personally it helps me focus one what's actually happening a lot more. I prefer it without the bagpipes lol

@usbgamers123 6 лет назад

Wow that Lee Smith guy really does counter-attacks so smoothly. My appreciations!

@schonnj 6 лет назад

Congrats on making finals in longsword and getting the bronze in broadsword to Erik. How many judges do they have to spot hits? Most of the time Skal's slow-mo replay is required for me to see what the hit was. So a big hand to them for doing their job.

@erikbailey2525 6 лет назад

Usually at least two. There are 3 judges plus a director watching, and they're all highly skilled fighters, which makes it a lot easier for them to see what's going on.

@Beremor 6 лет назад

Don't forget that the judges are actually there, witnessing the fluid motion of real life. They aren't restrained by RU-vid's 30/60 fps and camera angle, which does make a little bit of a difference.

@Olordrin 6 лет назад

The level of sportsmanship in this gives me the warm fuzzies.

@sparrow_solas 2 года назад

I believe they are only good sports because there are no real stakes on the line, had this been for millions of dollars they'd probably take whatever points they could get

@Qsaws_ 6 лет назад

Damn those exchanges are so fast

@ABCKorpi 6 лет назад

Wow what amazing fairplay! I congratulate all of them for that. This very much strengthened my decision to get into HEMA as soon as possible.

@dckid238 6 лет назад

Amazing skill shown by everyone! One of the most exciting videos I've watched in a long time!

@Rocknoob49 6 лет назад

I tried sabre for the first time this week which is technically very similar to what they were doing with the broadswords. Its no joke, my arm felt like it was falling off within two minutes. Incredible display of strength and skill all over these videos, thanks Skall!

@imBelegaeraHithaeglir 6 лет назад

Why do I keep seeing people spelling women as "wahman"? I don't get the joke and whatever it is, I don't find it funny.

Is it me or women's exchanges were more spectacular (compared to previous videos)? I've no idea if it was better from the technique standpoint, but it looked awesome.

@scritch 6 лет назад

The women's gold match was, to be honest, my favourite one out of the entire tournament when I was there. Lianna and Jane absolutely killed it, and the energy was amazing.

@KalaamNozalys 6 лет назад

With that level of rules and organisation it should be at the olympics.

@Tarooo89 6 лет назад

Unfortunately the scoring is too subjective to make it as an Olympic sport (for now). Strict, objective scoring (likely electronic) would be required... gather top practitioners around the world with fame, money, and their country's pride on the line and I doubt you'd see such honorable actions.

@gt4lex 6 лет назад

Artistic skating ? Think that's way more subjective, yet it is still in olympics.

@Darkrender 6 лет назад

We have only to look at modern Olympic fencing to see how the sport would invariably turn out if it were added to the olympics unfortunately. With such high stakes on the line, no one would ever call out hits against themselves, or their own bad hits, in the name of honor when a lot of money, and as Shiroto said, their nations pride is on the line. No matter how you look at it, the sport would just devolve into current olympic fencing, and then what would the purpose be of it even being in the olympics? its technically already there

@Tarooo89 6 лет назад

Darkrender Actually thanks to electronic scoring, Olympic fencing is a highly accurate game of tag, down to the millisecond ;-)

@Darkrender 6 лет назад

Im not saying its not highly accurate, im saying HEMA would just devolve into exactly what modern olympic fencing is if it were added to the olympics. And then you'd just have two of the exact same sport.
