Nice little touch of symbolism I just noticed. At the beginning he's looking at three swords, two wooden, one steel. Then he fights three men, two cowards, one brave.

[@setiawansetiawan5103]

3:30 he can pretend to be honorable all he wants but we all know fighting against an expert spear wielder with a sword is a pain the ass

[@vesrei1311]

You see he refused the coin, implying he wanted to fight for the sake of it not for money. But fighting against certain death is not fun, that's why he refused to fight against a spear.

[@IIDASHII]

Yeah...I'd be like "That's Ok. I'll keep the spear."

[@GreatOldOne999]

Fighting against a spear with a sword is a death wish

[@notfeedynotlazy]

Fiore was an expert spear (and dagger, and unarmed...) fighter, but a master swordsman. _Of course_ he took the sword back.

[@radioactiveassassin5218]

even if it wasn't expert spearman, still...against spear? Only shield with sword and close distance

[@patliao556]

Hah! I like how the bad dude's acting all honorable by giving Fiore a longsword after his first breaks, but like, you know he just low-key doesn't want to fight a spear with a longsword.

[@TheSwordsPathChannel]

Ai vist lo lop nanana... well, I hope you like this one. :) It was a pleasure and an honour to work with Rafał- I mean, Fiore and his gang. Thanks for inviting me to the set, guys!

[@douglasmacfarlane2138]

I seem to remember a video of yours quite a long time ago talking about a Tinker brand sword breaking in such a way during one of your takes.

[@TheSwordsPathChannel]

Douglas MacFarlane it's the same exact take even

[@douglasmacfarlane2138]

I thought the scenery looked familiar! That was so long ago I figured this was something different.

[@igneous061]

Ai vist le lo lop ne na nar som...

[@pablotesticules]

Everything makes so much damn sense now!!!

[@spinakker14]

I still can't believe how perfect this - and all your other videos are! Everything is top-notch: the fight choreography, the camerawork, the acting, the story, the music, the cinematography, even the selected quotes. I know it's a fictionalised version of Fiore, but I really see him come to life here

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Thanks, it's really great to read comments like that, it truly shows that it's worth the work :)

[@GonzoTehGreat]

Why aren't you advising fight choreography on shows like Game of Thrones? xD Your sword duels are better than most of theirs! Please group these chapters into a single playlist for sharing so we can spread the word. Thanks

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Well, we'll make it with great pleasure, the only problem is lack of work offers from GoT crew..

[@GrueneVanilleWaffel]

please tell me who fiore is :)

[@andyknightwarden9746]

@@GrueneVanilleWaffel An Italian Swordmaster and Knight, born in the mid-14th century, in the province of Friuli. He wrote his knowledge down in eight sets of manuscripts in the early 15th century, by which time he had been on the Sword's Path for 50 years. Of the eight referenced, only four have been recovered.

[@pramiltonblarpus1873]

The characterization of the Sword's Path as a smug German mercenary is quite nice :P. Also This has been said before But Rafal looks so cool wearing the full fiore outfit. You guys have done an excellent job popularizing Fiore's Art as well as Hema in general, and though I'm sad that this seems to be your last video on Fiore, I'm quite excited to see what you'll do next.

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Thanks. Fiore was a great project, but we hope new ones will be no worse :)

[@SwordTune]

On that note, how does one cosplay as Fiore? Because I will, every day if I can. And when people ask me "What are you suppose to be?" I will show them this.

[@darthnihilusthebestsith]

He does look stunning ngl

[@MrVentzx]

A sword died for this video

[@propyro85]

But it didn't die in vain, its destruction made a pretty cool transition scene.

[@stefanleo8963]

[@MichaelMMiddleton098]

Rafael Guerra Shouldn’t have unscrewed that pommel..

[@purple9591]

The question is: How many?

[@Vorgonful]

@@MichaelMMiddleton098 real sword isn´t screwed up!

[@JunKishibe]

3:10 RIP Hanwei Tinker Pearce aka sorry excuse of a sword ( also pommel throwing soon after: ENDED RIGHTLY )

[@spinakker14]

Jun Kishibe that improvisation was so damn good that this meme only came to my mind on the second watching

[@rebjr5844]

It's really not a sorry excuse for a sword man. For the money it's hard to beat. Not all of us can afford an Albion....yet.

[@greywolf7206]

nah, not really. As allan points out in his channel, you can grab a Regenyei for like, 50 extra bucks or so, and they have far better quality than Hanwei's half assed chinese crap.

[@rebjr5844]

NightFury_BR I got a blunt and sharp Tinker in 2010 for around $200 American as a promotion. That was a good deal, but even now looking for a Regenyei, I see them at least $100 more than the Tinker. Maybe quality has dropped since 2010 on the Hanwei, but both of mine are good steel, light, quick, and responsive. The sharp cuts like a monster and the blunt has done everything I've asked of it in sparring. This is my experience, but perhaps others have not been so lucky.

[@JunKishibe]

That particular specimen was, in fact, not a very well-made sword intended for sparring. It had some serious construction issues due to craftmanship mistakes that made it particularly weak and prone to cracking. Every piece of metal has its breaking point, but if you accidentally overheat the hot spots for then quenching them you know it's going to be more fragile than usual. If none of that happened to your Hanwei TP, lucky you, just watch out for the moment when the breaking actually happens.

[@viktorkachovski5252]

A pommel throw, spears, grappling, a classic villain staring contest :D whats not to like here . Well done with implementing that broken sword scene.

[@WireMosasaur]

Man, I'm emotionally invested in green guy now. I hope he goes on to learn from his mistakes now that the master spared him twice, hahaha. This was such a cool series! I got so excited to see this in my inbox! :D (also, insert "end him rightly" joke here)

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

We're glad you like it :) We're thinking about making some other series, so who knows, maybe Kuba will have his revange. Well.. maybe not on Fiore, but we'll see...

[@SwordTune]

Green Revenge activate!

[@danielsmith5664]

@@akademiaszermierzy1105 Maybe have him go learn Lichtenauer or some other tradition and face off against fiore haha

[@propyro85]

@@danielsmith5664 That could work, they were both around in the mid 1300's.

[@MisdirectedSasha]

@@propyro85 If he went on to study under Liechtenauer then he could go on to be one of the students who wrote glosses of the Zettel. Maybe he could star in a video where he travels back to Italy later in life and saves an old man from bandits/hired assassins, only to find out it's Fiore.

[@SnapJelly]

hahahahaha you kept in the part where the hanwei tinker broke! Love it

[@Chaosism]

Oh, wow. I saw the clip of the sword breaking (in the past), but I didn't think it was actually going to be _used!_ Very cool! :)

[@spinakker14]

and it was used in an excellent way!

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

At first we also didn't think we're going to use it, but fortunately, we came up with this idea and it was worth it :) Thanks!

[@Komaru.89]

How did you do that, by the way? It LOOKS as though the blade actually broke. Or is that my imagination? Did you just remove the pommel and let the whole thing fly apart? It was really cool!

[@Chaosism]

KomaruKirinashi It _did_ break spontaneously during a take. _The Sword's Path_ released that clip to talk about the breakage of that sword some time ago. You can tell by the actors' reactions that it wasn't planned, but they fit the scene in quite well, anyhow. :)

[@jakubzalesinski667]

Why am i always playing faild assasin??

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Well... What can we say Kuba.. :)

[@TheStaniG]

Time for redemption story arc!

[@banita9448]

Jakie to przyjemne mieć świadomość, że prawdziwa sztuka walki jest o wiele piękniejsza niż te durne kręciołki mieczami w filmach i grach. Ach, gdyby tylko zaimplementowali taką sztukę w tych mediach... Obeszłoby się bez poczucia absurdu i że bronią może machać byle kto. Dzięki Wam za tę świadomość :)

[@Ryushaori]

You combined forces with Sword Path, nice, well done guys. Awesome as ever!

[@TheGodTell]

Love how you guys always went for quality instead of quantity, this truly is a work of art!! So very beautifully done

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Thanks!

[@umartdagnir]

By a strange coincidence, I've re-watched all three first parts this morning. And now there is a new one! Cool!

[@utenteutente9531]

as an Italian it's cool to see our older language in the original photos, and it's even cooler to see you guys in action: you're all great!

[@somedude731]

3:17 my man decided to end him rightly

[@lkvideos7181]

3:14 even his opponent was disgusted by the poor quality, and had pity.

[@damyanssj17]

Całkiem profesojnalnie zrobiony film, jestem pod wrażeniem. Sceny walki lepsze niż w niejdnej hollywoodzkiej produkcji. Aż mam ochotę zacząć uczyć się szermierki. :-) Macie nowego sybskrybenta.

[@DavidVolta976]

I was waiting for the fight between Rafal and Alan for a long time! Not disappointed at all!

[@johnnypopulus5521]

Again, well done! Truly a treat to watch.

[@greg_gamer]

These videos are ABSOLUTELY amazing, so immersive and involving; the narrative is so flowy. Well done! And thank you for making these; they are super helpful!

[@crille626]

Awesome to have a part 4 video! Thank you for making my day guys

Yes, I know. This thread is simply sad.

All of these videos are incredible!!! Thank you so much.

[@geeemm909]

This series of videos is outstanding and I keep watching them over and over. The swordsmanship is excellent.

Yes!! The story continues... thanks for the upload

[@HOREO45]

Now with the man, The Sword Path? Fucking awesome.

[@Robin0Blackett]

Only one question: what took you so long? :D That was awesome, and blooper being used in actual video made my day!

[@TheSwordsPathChannel]

спасибо Максим!) удачи на вашем пути

[@zameneznayut]

The Sword's Path незнаю владеете ли вы русским языком, или же просто написали через переводчик, но знайте мне очень приятно, что такой мастер как вы мне ответил, вы настолько меня вдохновили своим видео о фехтовании ведьмака, что я решился и делаю себе меч, что бы вместе с вами фехтовать, конешно я никогда в кузьне не был, но меч я делаю акуратно болгаркой из куска метала, выглядит классно, и это благодаря тебе, великий Мастер, я вас очень уважаю и прошу, делайте чаще видео про фехтование на своем канале, я по ним скучаю!

That's not what a real swordfight looks like. You should pretend that swords weight 10 kilos and make noises like if your diets were severely lacking in fiber. To make it more realistic.

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Oh, you're right, we forgot about that :) Also we should add some sparks, and for sure more slow-motion with flipping the sword.

[@paweandonisgawralidisdobrz2522]

Also there was it lacks the sound that spatula makes after sliding against a knife whe drawing from scabbard

[@radhummingbird97]

And you forgot to bind and then just push each other back and forth for dramatic effect

[@notfeedynotlazy]

You also forgot using a shield alongside the sword, and keeping it towards your back as a counterweight - while using exclusively the sword for defence. Plainly those shields were for protection against a ninja appearing suddendly behind you. They're quite dangerous, those ninjas. They kill a lot of people.

[@bgertw5]

You forgot to add the part where he throws his sword into the air and beats them both up by moving his shoulders before catching the sword
