hello there I see you have started buhurt I think within the last few years?? has your opinions on giant sword combat and fighting utility changed at all scince you've started? has buhurt changed any of the opinions you've held when you first started training with the giant sword?

Lighter than the true

I think your strenght and punching argument is very solid one, and one they missed completely. If you are confident enough on using giant swords, you are almost certainly stronger than the opponent. Also how much armor may significantly change the viability. What I disagree however is that how easy it would be to hit anything other than stationary object with giant sword strikes and especially recover after that. Thats why they are trying to keep the momentum, to not bet everything on one strike. I would be interested to see you hit something moving, opponent is going to try dodge after all. Well eventually anyway, I want nothing but for you to improve with your own pace how you see the best.

Shad used to be fun. I was a subscriber for years. A couple years ago his content went downhill and his attitude more so in my opinion. He acts like he knows everything and everyone who doesn't know or he doesn't like are morons. Very very patronizing. Also everytime his channel dips for any reason, it is youtube and the algorithm and people hating on him instead of his content being shit. Always someone else's fault HIS channel doesn't do well.

KZbin isn't killing Shad and Metatron's content. Less and less people are watching Shad and Metatron because they inject their politics into everything and alienate themselves from a wider audience and decry they are being 'shadow banned' because of the new lack of engagement. I recently found blumineck and robinswords, and Dash Rendar. Sword-Tubers. They make great content without injecting their politics into everything. And.. They're all doing great. I think the point from Shad and Meta is moot.

You should also check out @tommyashman, he has been making some nice progress training with 20lb/10kg giant sword.

It’s impractical because good luck swinging that thing for hours on end in a battle.

If you can get people to spar, I think it would really help showcase the utility and versatility of giant swords. My main concern is that sparring safely at the level of commitment needed to prove key points might be risky, but splitting it into complementary demos could work really well: Foam sword sparring: Capture fluid, real-time sparring using a foam sword that mimics the speed, swing, and impact of the giant sword. The sparring should focus on showing if or how easily opponents can maneuver, engage, and counter based on speed differences without suffering for doing so. Ensure that any movement accurately references how the giant sword would be handled, so the foam spar reflects realistic conditions. Steel sword speed and impact verification: After running through a few foam sparring rounds, review the footage to replicate swing and recovery and identify key contact points. Then, in a controlled setting with intentional distance, use the giant steel sword to act out those contact points, carefully mimicking the speed, swing, and impact demonstrated in the foam spar. This will help verify how much force transfers, what reactions are realistic, and how effective techniques translate. By showing both demos side by side-one for mostly unedited fluid sparring and the other spliced together for speed and impact verification-you could highlight both the tactical aspects and the raw power of giant swords while keeping things safe, accurate, and as objective as possible!

Nah, Shadiversity is killing sword content

that sharp both side edge on the bottom sword looks dangerous, it could cut you

Hey Dave, I saw your short film yesterday. I thought it was pretty well done!

I need to see Olivier Richters wield this sword in a movie

BERSERKER

OK, now do a horizontal slash.

This is interesting man and I really like your giant sword training videos. I believe you’ve gotten strong enough to handle a sword the same weight as your sword but smaller. Is that possible? The length is a problem for handling it with the ease that you could with your current strength.

Keep it up, mate! You got this! 🗡 And also, I would like to thank you for being one of my inspirations in building my own giant sword (out of wood for now. Hehe) and training with it, too. More power to you, Sir! 🫡✨️

dude don't worry all that you have to do is pull another eclipse

Where do i buy one

I need it

Candy

Thanks for the support! We both know how difficult KZbin is rightnow!

seeing your views i think so

Looks like a strap, thankfully a super easy fix

Pfft that turn around and 2 whacks

MY FACE IS MY SHIELD

I built one out of cardboard and guessed it was about 20 lbs after getting winded from swinging it around for a bit. Mf was 6 lbs!

All I can really say about this is in defense of one of my favorite characters is that if you think that's impractical then hit the gym seriously it doesn't work for me because I'm weak at least I'm strong enough to admit that secondly once you have enough strength to lift and control that thing with ease like gravity do the talking how else do you think the wind Scar wars it's not some demon magic it's literally just Inuyasha just screaming unga bunga and slamming a sword on the ground😂 like come on guys it's really not that hard when you think about it for more than 2 seconds it's difficult to do physically but the physics and the knowledge is all there 😂

Mi espada pesa 10 kilos más en total 30

Nice exercise! Good luck with your forms! Might be beyond you atm, since youre using a massive hunk of iron, but remember to bring your point down first. Hella like the controlled reps! If you're not threatening your opponent, they won't respond defensively. It increases the odds that they'll respond offensively, its something most novices do instinctually. Making sure the strong of your sword is covering the same side you are cutting should help keep you safe. Hella rate the passion and commitment! If you want to make your forms more effective for combat, I'd recommend learning some german and italian longsword, it'll give you the basics on what to look for while greatsword sources should help on further developing techniques.

Just take a look at Serpico vs Gutz

When you get up to one and a half times the strength requirement you’ll be able to one hand that thing

Have you seen haletheblacksmith? He does stuff like this too. He’s pretty cool!!

Sheesh, that can’t be easy with the armor on

Dude this is awesome!! Bro you should colab with "HALE The Blacksmith"

Your opponents look TIRED. I guess regularly practicing with the Dragonslayer has increased your endurance, i.e., how long you can move in a personal oven (body armor).

freaking cool

I mean for regular human its a hit or miss If you hit sheer force of dragon slayer decimate you if miss sorry my friend but unarmed dude can now tackle you But if surrounded by other people you would be a glass cannon making your unit a fear even if you never swung it people would really not wanna come near You kinda fend a spear or sword and BOOM weight of a horse chops into your feet through the head 😂 I mean its fearsome but as long as you can pull it back reliably it's kinda not fitting for combat

I’m not saying that that’s not impressive, 48 pounds is crazy, and you definitely aren’t ever going to fight anyone with that, but there were like 50 times that you’d be dead in seconds in that combo

This is certainly a hobby for a woman like me...😍😃😊❤

Daym griff took casca 2 years ago, time flys

In my opinion the chapters started going downhill after 364

That endurance and control that you just keep building is awesome! Every motion has such great rooting and you look like even a bulldozer couldn't break your poise!

Sick, bröther

This kinda training takes Guts
