The sabre hits resulted in wounds to the extremities whilst the long sword would’ve inflicted fatal wounds

Great vid

swordfighting and archery , should be way more interesting in sports than it is. these are so basic and useful . . . a shame we came to be like this nowadays of pistols and rifles and scuds

On next episode 90s car antena vs Italian Rapier

Awesome! Thanks!

Curve sword makes happy. I dont care of drawbacks, unless ist a balta

and you call a uncovered hit of the sabre that is only valid because the longsword hit flat (this time you see it, lol) a save hit? This is ridiculous, really. A shame....

First hit of the Sabre is perfectly flat on the forearm.... really now? This is kinda underwhelming regarding the whole setup and buildup :( sad.

HUSSAR SABER IS USED ON HORSE AND LONG SWORD ON FEET. BAD FIGHT FROM START. SECOND: IF YOU HANDLE ONE HANDED SWORD ANYONE WILL USE A SHIELD TO NOT LEAVE A HAND DOING NOTHING OR A SECOND SWORD OR AXE, OR DAGGER OR MACE. HERE IS LIKE IF YOU CUTED A HAND TO ONE OPONENT BEFORE START.

HEMA is probably the most interesting martial art imo. Some random instructor, hundreds of years ago writes a manual, now it’s being studied today in the modern world.

I realize this is a year late, but the Rapierist failed to use the 'physics' of his blade in the first fight while embracing it in the second fight. The first hit he did not close his line fully allowing the double hit. As the Rapier is a far stiffer blade, it easily bullies the epee in a counter thrust. When the Rapierist fights this way he dominates the single time thrusting game and the epeeist would have needed to change to fighting like a small sword, favoring due-tempi actions. The final take away seems to agree...that's what I get for writing this before I finish the video...

Az a hosszúkard...miért is volt annyira elvékonyítva,mint egy párbajtőr?

Zastanawiam się, j akie byłyby wyniki, gdybyście zajmowali się tematem od dziecka (vide Zrodzeni do szabli). Rozumiem też, że rapier ma inną charakterystykę, ale brakowało tak bardzo pożądanej przez widza wymiany ciosów, jak w walce Wołodyjowskiego z Kmicicem 🙂

This is closer to traditional Japanese fighting arts than kendo for sure. Reminds me of moves from jo-jitsu.

OMG! Hussars had swords when they were fighting against Medieval knights from the West and North. They started using sabre when sword turned out as useless against light cavalry from the East and South-East opponents. What's next? Comparing hussar pike with longsword on a basketball court? Sword will shred it. Put hussar on a horse in the open field, and swordman has no chance, especially when hussar makes rounds with a new pike each time. The pikes were long, light and fragile - one hit or miss weapon.

Ребята вы такие крутые. У вас просто бомбическая дыхалка для такого боя. Видео покрывает мурашками ❤😊😊

I love these competitions!

This looks 100X more sophisticated and realistic than kendo!

heh i fight best with a curtain rod

I wish i had this where i live. would love to practice medival fencing

Szabla husarska służyła głównie do walki konno, a nie pieszo. Gdyby siedzieli na koniach, to ten z mieczem nie miałby szans. Pojedynek nie jest miarodajny.

I have to agree with some predecessors - the duel presented virtually no parrying. Not mentioning this particular sabre was invented to be used in the saddle, it was not held properly - the wrist should be bent outwards (not inwards or not at all) to prevent quick cuts aimed on it (based upon pulling a sabre back and cut with push of the wrist only, eg. Kreussler system of Kahn, 1761). Compare the stance with the movie "The Deluge," where Wolodyjowski duels Kmicic and how Wolodyjowski's wrist is bent outwards during initial stance, not mentioning the left arm positioned on the back to prevent self injury. That was historically accurate as the director wanted to present it. About the sword, it was held too flat, requiring swordsman to bring the end of the heavier weapon up constantly loosing precious time for parrying. Such mistakes highlight that the modern, light sabre sport technique was presented here, not how such a duel would look like back in the old days. Hence, the outcome might differ from the one stated.

Y'all have a book to purchase with all these awesome moves?

Gościu walczący szablą, praktycznie w ogóle nie używa cięć wstecznych zaraz po bloku. Albo drugiej strony szabli w celu ranienia przeciwnika. W dodatku po bloku, szablą b. łatwo jest odbić w drugą stronę, zmieniając nadgarstkiem jej kierunek. Tutaj widzimy tylko proste cięcia i atak na wprost. Co gdy przeciwnik ma dłuższą broń, może się źle skończyć.

11:13 - Amazing baiting!

this is so fking unrealistic hits XD u scratch him with ur saber, the moment he was doing a DEVASTATING attack from above.... that scratch would only work if someone is naked, without any armor

This video got me into HEMA. Thank you.

This is an example why i dont care about competitions and these kinds of exhibition fights. - only thrusts count... Rules to make it "fair" which in the end make the conclusion invalid imo.

So the woman has a shorter reach, and also a shorter weapon. This is apples and oranges.

2:28 Talhoffer?

Классные каналы, с годным контентом набирают минимум, а де рь мо с с сру щи ми фриками занимает топ просмотры! Куда катится этот мир(((. Парни у спехов вам! Привет из Беларуси!

Thank you for this video. I bought an Italian model 1855 saber and I am learning how to use it. I will work on my feints and dodges! Thanks again⚔️

I was a Hussar, my sword was straight, the same as the Household Cavalry. Curved swords were European, not British. As an Englishman, the long sword means 10 to 11th. century, and would never been crossed with a sabre.

Хорошие показательные сцены фектования на мечах,лучшее,что я видел.Скорее всего так и проходили дуэли,и мечами как дубинами никто не махал как показывают в фильмах.

I cannot describe the puddle of semen I have in my pants right now after watching this video

That second exchange between Antoni and Aleksander was insane.

geil

Gratulacje przepiękna forma .

Best in the class! I'm waiting for the (overrated) katana vs szabla. I hope you will have a good katana user, to match the szabla wielder in skill.

What unarmed combat system is this?

Fencing nowadays is like comparing real battle /warfare to asg / paintball. Do you really think that this trained girl would stand any chance against a trained man?!?!? Useless activities bring useless results.... No1 uses swords and sabres anymore.... Russian regime has proven that using Polonium 210 is more effective, efficient, silent and untraceable than shooting someone. Look at JFK - killed by an American and they still don't know who's done it. It's only useful for useless events - the olympic games - people doing useless things, being overpaid by the whole of the citizens, so they can prove they've defeated someone. Politicians, sports-people and politicians are the same. Useless.

Waooo! Amazing figths. Thanks from Spain

I never knew Shaggy was a duelist.

Fake, NO DODGE ROLLING. Not a single one. These techniques would get u chewed up in any competitive ladder

Szabla to broń przede wszystkim do walki w zwarciu. Do walk konnicy. Wojska Rzeczypospolitej kawaleria stały. Takich pojedynków jak ten w czasach wojen praktycznie nie było. W zwarciu konnicy rapier plus sztylet był mało użyteczny dlatego go nie stosowano. Szabla natomiast przeciwnie zadawała ciosy piórem jak i całym swym ostrzem. Przecinała kaftany, obcinała ręce i i czasami i głowy. Ciosy klute stosowane raczej w walce z piechotą. Ale do tego husaria miała inna broń niż szabla.

DUDE ITS SO GOOD

Omg. 7:30

gotta enjoy the sportsmanship on display

What would be the easiest weapon to master, what would be the easiest to use alongside a sidearm blackpowder pistol. thats all you need to ask. if we do not take into account firearms, and count blades only, the best blade is the one that you can equip and army with limited experience but provide the greatest benefit. this is the conundrum that we faced with firearms. archery took years to master, shooting a firearm took a few minutes to master. if you can arms all the peasants, nobody cares about a few skilled men.

Przecież ta konfrontacja jest bez sensu 1. Dwie bronie zawsze będą lepsze, bo jedną można zablokować i jednocześnie drugą wyprowadzić cios 2. Bez sensu jest pojedynek między kobietą i mężczyzną - jeśli oboje są sportowcami to facet będzie na 95% lepszy
