Well, its something I plan to do but I have not much time left to do any research at the moment :/

Damn missed the memo and accidentally still made it work with two replicas.

@@alexandermartzok_vikingcombat I mean there are a lot of ahistorical replicas my dude

With job, family and girlfriend there is not much time for fencing and video editing so of course I chose fencing. :D Glad you like it!

They are Beinschutz BAUER Vapor X700, I bought them like 7 years ago. They are great if your chins are large enough to fill them out properly.

@@alexandermartzok_vikingcombat Thank you!

Thanks! 85 cm.

Thanks! Well that depends. Most reenactors are not used to the bind and flee as long as possible (going back like here) or just rush in hitting on the legs (mostly ending in double hits). With the first ones you have to lure them a bit and then counter which results mostly in only a final bind if at all. With the latter ones, binding and keeping distance can actually help but you have to have really good footwork. Constant shield binding only happens with people who also fence in a binding-heavy system. There are fewer double hits in my experience but you need a lot of shoulder and arm strength/endurance.

You can see the other extreme in my video with Roland, however I am way more active with the shield now then I was when the recording happend.

Thanks, I actually learned a lot by really going in deep :D

Sorry, I have absolutely no experience with dane axe. Especially with historically accurate dane axes it is a very unique fighting style which few know. For now I stick to shield and spear.

Bin leider nur am Sonntag zum Fechten da, aber wird gut!

Nice to see you are back! Trying some Roland stuff there?

@@Tsurukiri I always fence with Roland's system if the other person has a fencing mask or I feel comfortable enough with my sparrings partner.

@@alexandermartzok_vikingcombat Thought so! By the way, I liked your rising cut(s) from the lower left. Those are rarely seen.

Every skilled martial artist knows that every guard has its advantage and disadvantages. I even state that the guard is vulnerable to stabs in the following videos. I often use it too lure opponents into stabbing and use the counter to gain an advantage, like here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqabgpKabtxorKs or here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqabgpKabtxorKs. But I admit, you need skill and a good reaction time so its better that you stick to your style :)

You are welcome, hope it helps!

Thanks for the awesome feedback, I hope it helps! :) Let me know if you encounter any problems or think something does not work for you!

@@alexandermartzok_vikingcombat Thanks. We've made our own shields, and my first attempt was 5.5kg - too heavy to wield easily. Second one is 3kg and is 87cm diameter - I'm 1.85 Metres tall. 😊
