Nas armaduras tem muitas brechas e areas menos resistentes que podem ser pontos fracos principalmente a do samurai que é mais leve mas protege menos o guerreiro, ou seja, quem baixar a guarda primeiro perde.
There are plenty of ways to fight against an opponent in plate armor with a sword. It was specifically studied by those who would need the knowledge, such as knights, and was called Harnishfechten in German. The most well-known method is also one of the worse ones, called a murder blow, or Mordschlag (alternatively spelled Mordhau or Mortschlag). It involves gripping the blade in both hands and striking with the pommel or crossguard. This isn't what swords are intended to do as weapons, though. The best way is to use the off-hand to grab the blade, turning the sword into a spear of sorts and targeting the armpits, groin, helmet visor, backs of the gauntlets, and any place only protected by padding and mail. There are ways to do it. It's challenging, but it's far from impossible.
@@ThornForTheWynn Yeah, yeah, i know about halfswording, it was a joke, nobody needs your nerdy explanations. Realistically it would look more like an MMA fight because both sides are skilled at various types of grappling so they would end up fisting each other on the floor. For the sake of the joke let's say that they're both so skilled that such techniques won't work on them.
That joke doesn't work for this situation. That's a competition or training session which your SO would probably know about, not a random hangout with friends
exactly the reason swords were like secondary weapons, this is a "glock vs SIg226 compareson" and your answer is like "I feel like 5.56 would do a better job" (not hating, just pointing some modern paralelism)
Lol, you're right. The reason swords became so popular in pop-culture is because they were status symbols. In truth, both warriors would've used spears or maces, or even knives when they're up close. The sword is really more of a sidearm.
I mean the plan for both of these was being in a cavalry role. They were heavily armed to protect themselves against spears, so they could clash through the lower class soldiers with their lance, sword, mace, spear, axe, club,... or in case of Samurai also ride across the lines with a bow. A fight on foot in that armour was neither planned nor a good thing to happen
actually🤓 Warhammers went viral in the 15th century, before a dagger was more often used. Knight fights often more resembled mma fights with each opponent trying to inflict blunt trauma or to stab ur opponents with a dagger in the less protected areas or under the helmet
They ain't traveled, they suddenly teleported because the sudden terraforming of earth, and not just the samurai and the knight, even vikings and some chinese martial artist got randomly teleported and I heard there is also some free wayfarer warrior from egypt and middle east and some pirates among them
@@siddharthsinha6338 As much as I could find I have to differ with your comment. Medieval knights were much more common than samurai, according to all the information I checked regarding different important conflicts of the medieval era and during what will be the time when the most samurai were seen (sengoku jidai). I found a greater number of knights than samurai The knights easily reached the thousands of similarly armed soldiers. while the samurai apparently numbered in the hundreds if they reached the thousands but I haven't seen much about that More than anything, the armies of both worlds were made up of practically the same thing. militia although the western militia was better equipped
@@ismaelgalindo How about knights per capita? Or rather, the composition of armies by armouring, well documented battles. I believe gambeson under chain mail was the most common form of armour for the infantry.
It makes me wonder how long fights between fully armored knights would generally take because almost any time that you can actually hit your opponnent with your sword, you end up just hitting their armor. It seems likely that most fights would end up as wrestling matches with daggers trying to gouge eachother's eyes out through the visors.
The Childhood argument to do list: :Pirate vs Ninja :Samurai vs Knight✔️ :French Soldier vs Spanish Colonial Soldier :Nordic Highlander vs Roman Crusader :Egyptian Warrior vs African Tribal Warrior :Turkish Soldier vs Ancient Chinese Footsoldier
Well the samurai actually didn't fight like a samurai, as in not using the kenjutsu stance and guard. The dude was using Katana like it was a longsword, both of them are just the same character with different skin.
@@321CatDaddy always have been. They are small plates stacked with each other don't look shiny because they are painted with laquer to keep them from degrading. Bare metals rust easier.
@@marcastals7886 that "gaijin" armor you meant is portuguese styled single plated cuirass. The design you see in the video is much earlier, used since 10th century
I like how the samurai needs to dress in full plate-mail to go toe to toe with the long sword. Sorry guys, these are two very different fighting styles, with two very different weapons- from two different periods. It’s not comparable.
It's all just speculation anyway. There aren't enough sources about their build, their training, their fighting style and technique. I mean, knights were way smaller back then. I'm not really sure they were bigger than Samurai. But they had to be very buff to walk around in heavy armor and swinging around broadswords. Who knows how that kind of fight would have ended between actually well trained and battle hardened fighters of those eras.
There's plenty of manoeuvres and plays to be used within European sword art that don't involve stabs. Its also not that easy to stab a weak point plus you have the extra added danger of the blade getting wedged within the metal. This guys problem is that he's going for the head with the same high guarded attack leaving his lower body completely open which is why the samurai only has to deflect then attack the leg and body. Its simply the difference between skill levels
@@sieve5I will never understand how a gun owners get the feeling that I get from swinging a sword and using it by just sitting around, holding the gun. And I have to actually use my thing if I want it to make me feel powerful. You just hold gun and you're the happiest monkey in the tree
Yeah samurai repro armor is probably not a great thing to have for practice fight. Too many openings and soft spots. The same way the knight guy is not wearing chain. Plate is just much more protective against blunt force.
@@STEFRICH60500PNo, he's saying the Samurai is wearing armor. He is saying that the Samurai's gear is just knight's gear that they shaped to look like Samurai gear so the swords didn't hurt.
@@averageeughenjoyer6429 ??? Because Samuray, and no one for that matter, never achieved that level of armor. Plate Armor of that intricacy is European only ! Japan imported limited, and parts of, plate armor from Portuguese, up and until 1639,

Are you stupid? This is archival footage from original medieval videographers. They just kept it on an SSD so it wasn't corrupted too bad. You can still see some artifacting, though...
It’s crazy to think that we’ve actually never seen any footage of a real sword fight. Like an actual real sword fight between two people really trying to kill each other
I work with a sledgehammer on rocks. Outside it's fine. But inside, i would be deaf if i didnt wear ear protection. Especially an empty room like this.
@mortimersmithsr2522 Yeah, I can only imagine. In fact, I even dislike hammering a few normal nails without some kind of protection (also outside). Tinnitus doesn't help, to put it like that :p
feel like the knight should have taken advantage of the superior length of the longsword and used more thrusting attacks but yes those parries from the samurai where clean af
@@jaredflynn3750 I don't think thrusting attacks are allowed as they could legititmately cause injury, which is why the samurai has a big advantage here
longsworder's main issue is he stayed high and didn't shift his guard. You see in the beginning exchange he is perfectly able to perform the same moves the samurai does, but after that first exchange he stayed in high guard/strike and didn't go up and down while the samurai did.
@@shrigmafit2730 longsword can do everything a katana/no dachi can and you see that in the first exchange. The whole "the katana is better at slashing" has been repeatedly debunked as the curve of the blade does almost nothing in that regard a normal longsword doesn't. Thrusts aren't used because a thrust is a longrange attack while closing/retreating. These 2 stayed close where it's all about the slash which is fast and mobile.
@hang_kentang6709 comparing knights armor to what the Samurai wore is like comparing a 22. to a 50 cal. For the most part Japanese was mostly made of lacquered wood and leather.
@hang_kentang6709 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-396rERpXHCU.htmlsi=umlh2tob9kv3SCQA I don't feel like doing a bunch of research for you. Lots of info out their. My point which I made rather hyperbolic. Is Japanese armor was much weaker than the steel armor used in the England. Japanese armor though was way more light and flexible.
@@JustSumGuy I wasn't asking you to do research for me, im asking you to defend your statement with a source. It seems your source correlates to mine which means samurais do make use of iron and raw hide armour, instead of lacquered wood like you stated.
From what I can see that's fairly accurate, it just doesn't look like it because the samurai armor you see in museums and movies is covered in colorful cloth.
I think it would largely depend on the era. Most samurai armor was made from a variety of materials, with some steel plate as well. So, yeah, plate armor existed - including steel plate - but it’s not the same as European plate. The fighting styles were different, so trying to compare the two is largely pointless.
@@walangchayelingden8606classic samurai armor is typically made of a weave of some kind using wood EDIT: OH MY FUCKING GOD I GET IT GUYS. I WAS MISINFORMED. JUST STFU AND STOP REPLYING TO ME, ANYTHING YOU SAY SOMEBODY HAS ALREADY SAID
@walangchayelingden8606 bro... just go farther back in time. Yeah in the later periods it was metal, but it was wood, leather, and cloth in the early stages
@@tmr10059 What is neglected to be told here is that machine guns in that era (and now) have interchangeable barrels because they get hot quickly. In the heat of suppressive fire, crews wouldn't change barrels (cuz you know). The barrels get red-hot. The sword hits the barrel and easily bends the barrel and chops a nice dent into it, rendering it useless. You could replicate the damage they did with just about any metal tool, or even a big stick. It doesn't take much force to move hot steel and render a tight-tolerance mechanism inoperable.
@Dan Gander uhhh, did you not see the counter strikes dumb ass ? He got hit 3 times and the other dude got hit more than 3 times, the Samurai guy literally would win this fight by all the injuries he will cause the other dude
I literally just bought ghost of Tsushima last night last night!!!! is the fourth samurai short I’ve seen I can confidently say with all my heart. I haven’t gotten this many samurai shorts before damn Internet you are very scary.
...nakuto mo watashi wa buriki no batetsu niha...emasen! I can read half of it but I have no Idea what I just sayed. Can someone cultured enlighten me?
A fully armored knight must have been almost unkillable in the old days. Honestly, my strategy when fighting one would be just to knock him down somehow.
True. Grappling, pommel/shield bashing and clubbing until you can manage to wedge your blade into a joint or opening in the armor. All this to say MACE #1 MEDIEVAL WEAPON YEAHHHHH
Crazy how that after many centuries most of us use still fans truly a great inventions that shows how its inventor was a genuis that was displaced in time.
Its dimensions can vary depending on factors such as the period in which it was made, the specific school of swordsmithing, and the intended user. However, a typical katana blade measures around 60 to 80 centimeters (24 to 32 inches) in length, with the handle adding another 25 to 30 centimeters (10 to 12 inches
I love how the knight is defensive while the samurai is offensive. The samurai is all about attacking while the knight is all about defending. The katana may be the sharpest sword in the world, but it sure as hell can't break plate armor, no matter how many times you hit it at full force. The samurai can keep hitting the knight as much as he wants, and the knight's plate armor won't break.
@@alexdasusboi2025 depends on what time periond but yes. Guns were popular for them. The samurai were the first people with the true american spirit. Aka if it cant be reasoned with GUNS will solve it!

Yes, but the common bullet for a 9mm is usually a hollow point that would shatter against armor and be much less effective than a standard bullet. 🤔 any armor is better then no armor.
@Fightsword Radio bruh the knight got monstered so many times in 10 seconds I had to quit. We can pretend he won after having both legs removed, one arm cut open, and being disemboweled, but yea.. that dude died 5 times in under half a min
hey, the Samurai might be able to cut buildings in half with his katana, and the Knight might be able to stop bullets with his armor... but none dare contest the mighty stick. The oldest and greatest of powers.
