Is there a good place to buy these kinds of swords?

Still my go to guide for disarm! Very clear instructions and beautifully executed.

The definition of a good fencer!👍

That sword is so massive, it looks like it’s from a final fantasy game lol

Verdammt du wärst ein richtig guter Krieger gewesen. Gegen dich hätte man ungerne gekämpft.

Никакого практического значения этот кусок железа не имел. Все равно что забивать гвозди кувалдой.

can a side by side blunderbuss/flail combo be used as a grappling hook gun?

Can a flail weapon be underslunged attachment of a sxs flintlock blunderbuss ust like doom slayer's super shotgun meathook to be conjunction with a round shield back in medieval times such as dark ages?

The bigger it is the harder it fals

so many openings for a dagger ... keep low and fluid, remember the major arteries...

I need a Zweihänder in my life right now.

I still regularly come back to, reference & share these videos with my friends and partners. Whether we are trying to find organic & authentic ways of written character portrayal, posing & stance references for animation & artwork, or just looking to watch someone sweat, these Learn the Art of Combat videos of yours have become nearly indispensable for me. Thanks Björn!

Man what is that song? It's almost like an inflames went back in time to learn the melody 😂

Damn your hedges look fantastic even in winter 😁

Nice pike bro 😎🤣

Very well designed looking falchion I wonder if that style of feathering (if it is called that) has any specific differences. Looking at the geometry of the blade, it seems to be a better way of making them as you can have the nipped part be more extreme, leading to a better point for stab/pierce. What a quality sword, too bad I am but a potato farming pesant 🥹

W for Munchen!

Hello, I think it is a very good intrapolation. I have an a very similar sword comissioned (from SKokloster schloss in sweden) The blade is not quite the same. It has 100 cm lenght is as wide as type XVc (55 cm and 5mm thick it get thick to be 6.5 at 77 cm the tip is 4.5mm) and tapers to a re-inforced point but until it become diamond section (well ultra flatten diamond section, as is the rest of the cuting plan) it is closer to a type XVII. the hilt is 39 cm and a pommel 5.5. I handled the original, it is only 1850 kg and it is incredibly stiff and nimble.

Schön die Grundlagen gefilmt und untermalt.

agreed! cool zweihander

I really enjoyed reading the explanations and facts instead of listening.

I like how you put those fancy upholstery nails on your flail ;D

Very cool sword. Very cool. Thank you very much for sharing that beauty. Cheers!

I can imagine this with lightsabrers

Bottom hand (left hand) used for swinging mobility.

Pretty basic stuff. This lacks for example, the 360 degrees swipe movement near ground to make all the enemies near you fall down.

Dude... Thats not a poleaxe 😅

Yo bjorn i just got my first sword guess what video i'm watching. <3 always appreciate your lessons!

Whats manesse?

hi, i have some questions about this cut isn’t it dangerous to let opponent’s blade placed underneath your blade while he is trying to cut you from above? i think it might accelerate opponent’s strike or cannot properly defend yourself.. anyway, thank you for wonderful demonstration, it was so helpfull!

Bro moves like water, this is smooth

Landsknecht with the fresh new shoes

A video on halberd fighting would be cool. If you could do a 5v5 with spears/pikes/halberds vs swords would be very cool.

The thing about a wall of pikes is that there's a wall of them.

I wish there were a game about a traveling Landsknecht in between the wars or even during the war. Their historical would provide a really fun and reach lore.

Im living 3rd world country (Please forgive my bad English) which allows to carry none sharp long sword. it is very difficult to get one of those practice sword. But only Replicas. There is Japanese Kendo but I wanna learn Long sword but no school for long sword. I decided not to feel embarrassed practicing alone at park. Because I think even though I don't have teacher, still better than doing nothing. Anyway I let gravity control my long sword. Blade and handle is 135cm over 2kg its not heavy for me but when I attach sword on my belt, I'm 175cm tall, but it scratch my sheath of my sword by ground. I don't know how to wear the sword properly. In my State law, if wearing ancient martial art uniform Im allowed to open carry sword. Recently I got license for katana so Im also allowed to carry sharp long sword as well. But I carry un-edge sword for safety. To summarise my inquiries , I wanna know how to wear it on my belt properly, and is it good idea not to stop while swinging and combo move to strike attack move after swing round circle to provide confusion to enemy? Japanese sword is light to compared with long sword so they stop while swing but long sword using same method stopping swings by gravity might cause wrist injuries like, tunnel syndrome ? So I let gravity to control my sword and not stopping it while on air and I use combo move after circle strike I immediately do stab move with changing my arms and legs after I let gravity swings my sword. Jeez I can't write in English it's very difficult to describe what I wanna say. I hope someone understand this. Thank you in advance.

Russians with Halberd - Halberd for crushing, not fencing

A woman longsword guard? I doubt that very seriously.

Theory: the flamberge blade not only increases cutting surface but allows better control of a pike/spear shaft.

I feel like the hammer end would be used more often than the beak.

1v1 pike fight isnt always the best. But remember in those times they had rows of pike soilders even ones behind the 1st row.

Great videos. I recently started learning about longsword wielding, after starting my weapon journey with Pekiti Tirsia Kali. I bought books written based on Italian fencing techniques, but I recognize some of the guards in your video. In any case, I appreciate the narration and fluid images the video offers. I am subscribing to your channel.

Hey, I have a question. Can you disarm sb with bare hands by grabbing the sword or will you be seriously hurt while you try? In the Scene I have in mind someone threatens somebody, so he holds his blade still. The person threatened is supposed to grab the blade near the hilt when the other does not expect it, twist it around while thrusting it forward, so that his opponent loses balance and his grip on the hilt. The question is - is it possible without any gloves or armour on? It's important for the book I'm writing on.

I have a defy for you. Fighting with a weapon that is a billhook on below.then the long handle till chest or shoulder, followed by a wusu lance red hairs. After that, comes an axe head, part axe at front, part hammer behind(with spikes and a central big warhammer/crowbleak spike, surrounded by lesser spikes. At top of the haft, cones a lance head. Edge has 3parts first as flamberge, secibd at saw,third as normal. Flat walls of axe and hammer part are full of sone long spikes ,and edges in "sharkback"stile. And cilinder that joins axe and hammer is full of a libe of some long spikes (for tearing horses as they cross by your side) Borders/corners of hammer part has horizontal flat saw going out from it . Abd in spaces between edges on last part of walls of hammer ,goes a L shaped 2or3 spikes pointing large to out of the hammer hitting side Spear/lance top haft head is 4sides crossed. has edge in saw shape at first, in flamberge shape at second, in sharck back like at third, and normal at fourth. Curves up and down of the axe part has diameter of a wide nack, (for trapping people and moving it, or broke his neck),but full of spikes (conic or flat triangled). The axe-hammer head, where joins to haft and below wusu lance red hairs, goes twisted (or by "click" mechanism,)into a gap on haft,enough deep for the twisting marksAND space extra for hiding a some long chain. When you free the chain, the weapon turns into a two handed flail, the axe-hammer spiked, being the head. In adittion, the billhook has a kind of crossguard in SAI shape (like oriental weapon) useful for disarmings and spiking has too a click mechanism too into the haft. By complete one twist, At freeing it, reveals it is the real pommel of a dagger hided into. If you twist the pommel only half twist, a resort mechanism do jump edges (triangled or like shark backs) along the handle (3lines along or 4). This acts a security system in case someone in battle achieve hold your weapon haft hurting his hand.(or even the weapon is taken without letting. Little holes in flat sides of axe and hammer holds flammable oil. And even you can connect an internal wire from haft to metal head for electrifying it, doing fire and electric damage at time. And several very little rounded empties in 4 sides of spear head , holds a venom paste, poisoning the spearhead. Too the spearhead can be twisted out abd frees a very thin chain hiden on cilinder between axehead and hammer, and you have a "chain and spear" shaolin weapon

Nice sword and nice moves ! how much !?

Very well edited video 👌

well done, only flaw: explanation is fading very fast, if not for pressing pause all the time, i wouldnt get the information in time

Very cool.

These techniques may work against a single pike. But as far as i understood, pikes more often come in dozens. Shoulder on sholder and in several rows. So if you evade the pike of the mam in the first line, you are in reach of the man in the second line.
