[@thibaud33ful]

Great fight between russia and usa, and great sportmanship !

[@logan2669]

+thibaud33ful I noticed that in this sport it is essential

[@scottsanderson8855]

Do you know how scoring works? Looks like USA had more head shots!

[@orangephoenixbrazier4978]

+Scott Sanderson It looked like USA had better strikes and lands in both rounds.

[@cadaverdoggy]

+thibaud33ful yeah i was surprised at the outcome i thought the usa guy had it for sure. Lots of nice clean strikes to head and neck. the russian blows looked glancing at best.

[@louisproulx4667]

Especially at the end of 2nd round, USA dominated, but it looks like the judges doesnt count points the way we do...

[@KEHKE_adept]

В первый раз вижу этот спорт, это просто фантастика какая-то. Просто благословение для моих глаз.

[@y_zombie8571]

Jeff of USA is a perfecto knight! he has a beautiful defence and a tecnical speed attacks ..! i loving his tecnical and defence! BRAVO FROM SPAIN FOR JEFF!!!!!!!!!!

[@Darthvirus1992]

Ohh well yes! His first round was so amazing! No movement to block a strike, just careful positioning. Minute movement and a confident stance. Beautiful to watch. Sad he lost. I think he looked better than the aggressiv style of the russian. But the Referees have their reasons :)

[@augustprice7550]

Both him and the first Russian guy had really solid footwork. That’s why they could bounce the other guy back to the gate. Honestly I’m only a dabbler with HEMA but I see way too much movement in most people when they fight with pole arms. If you do move, move with proper form.

[@nartt2684]

@@Darthvirus1992 The judges do not have “their own opinion” on this score, the results of the battle are based on facts, and the fact that an American in a real battle would have been killed with his “cautious positioning”, the Russian would simply crush him physically.

[@maxmuller8633]

The perfect knight was a French though.

[@ImTheMariner]

@@nartt2684 man, this does not portray real battle in the least. so i wouldn't be so hasty to say he would win a real fight to the death based on this.

[@Seaofblaze]

The American and the Russian dudes were on another level... Wish they put those 2 against each other first to see how the go with full energy

[@JlACb]

Очень здорово. Спасибо чешской стороне за проведенный турнир! По видео: у американца просто отличная техника, выше на голову своих соперников был. Когда Алексей с ним бился, я даже засомневался в его победе. Но видно большее количество соприкосновений с броней было. Представитель Израиля явно устал к финалу, да и поле после дождя стало настоящим "катком", им бы на этот случай иметь какой-то песок ну или хотя бы тент над полем навесить.

[@velikiradojica]

JlACb I agree with you, American fighter has excellent technique. I guess he did a lot of quarterstaff fighting.

[@Kingonads]

velikiradojica The American fighter has actually fought a great deal in the SCA in the USA, with polearms. He is a VERY good fighter with that form and a very patient man. It is like fighting a preying mantis.

[@IliaDragan]

JlACb Кроме техники - бойцу из США 48 лет (!!). Прекрасная форма для его возраста. American fighter is in the age of 48 (!!!!).

[@snotloutirontoe532]

USA did really good, such momentum, stability. stood his ground, TEN TOES DOWN

[@АлексейТенщиков-д5я]

Почему в который раз вижу, как Лёша пытается взломать систему? На этот раз великолепная идея с щитом на среднюю руку, благодаря которой вообще нет необходимости брать сложные защиты. Две верхние защиты четвёртого и третьего сектора без перемены положения рук. Как всегда гениально и просто. Работает, как швейцарские часы. Это видно в первом раунде с Джефом Галли, когда он пытается сделать финт, а Лёша на него реагирует и без труда переводит защиту из 4 сектора в 3.

[@АлексейИванов-о8н]

потому, щит и запретили потом)))

[@ИльяВолков-ш4ы]

Американец конечно молодец!

[@sticklyman196]

I really wanted Jeff to win, but Alexei put up a really good fight. I'm upset Jeff lost, but I'm glad he lost to a worthy opponent.

[@nelsoncenteno9003]

This is actually pretty interesting. Wasn't expecting to like it as much as i did.

[@YuckTradingCo]

[@dyavol100500]

[@Pot828]

хорошо ???

[@EwersTV]

Okay, I've watched fight Russia vs USA in 0.5 speed and count all hits. I think rules are simple: any hit counts except fingers. I'm pretty sure that hits in arms counts bcs of result of first fight and loud Russian yells to hit arm. 1st round Russian hit 3 times in right arm USA, and got hit 1 times in neck/shoulder area. So Russian 3 points and USA 1 point. 2nd round: Russia 1 neck 6(+1 in start? not sure) arm 3 head 2 torso(1 of them ended as thrusting). 1+6(7?)+3+2=12(13?) USA 2 head , 1 arm, 2 torso, 1 shoulder=6 So Russia ~12 points and USA 6 points. Even if you will minus some points for thrusting, winner will be the same. FUUH. so intense fight, hard to count even in slow motion.

[@blkspec9973]

Evers if it's like some of the hema fights I've seen, then you're a little bit off. Points are assessed by area of the body, meaning more points for a deadlier blow (ie: head gives 4, torso 3, arms 2 etc.) Plus a nonquality cut doesn't give points. Nonquality meaning if you land a hit with the flat of the blade, or the tip barely touches them. They would also count bad edge alignment as a nonquality cut(not sure about this one for polearms, as they are hard to orient due to their rounded handle which would cause a lot of bad edge alignment). Again, the rules here may be different, so I might be wrong. Just my 2 cents on the matter :)

[@CafeDude2097]

American had a solid defense. Well done!

[@providedyeti1518]

CafeDude2097 same with Russian

Israel and Moldova was easily one of the fiercest fights.

[@Wonderboi74]

Jeff Gallie should be called "The Surgeon" lol, awesome fight against the Polish!

[@andreyv1668]

у американца техника простая и эффективная, приведена до совершенства. Держи длинным хватом и бей косым ударом. В руку противника или в шею. Как говорится не тот Брюс Ли, кто универсал, а тот кто знает один удар, но совершенно.

[@ThemanOsteele]

18:36 - 18:46 was great strategy and reactions from Isreal! It was like he knew what was about to happen.

[@er1chkrause87]

[@ottodidakt3069]

only if the opponent has poor technical skills

[@Kraz1975]

[@jonathansanchez319]

[@giuanfumagalli7271]

israel vs moldova were the best fights, including fist fighting that was sick!

[@Secretcodrin]

this is awesome. though i don't know the rules and i don't understand many aspects.

[@puretestosterone9614]

The Americans speed was very impressive, I enjoyed watching him fight the most :) Very good competitors though :D

[@patrickemery5077]

I know it's against the rules to thrust in the ACL but thrusting was the main technique for spears and other polearms.

[@ericpizza7691]

[@Lambda420]

Crazy how the us has such a fighter despite having ZERO armor combat history. Great fight against Russia’s man love to see the respect and the love on the field.

[@MaryJane-wk1ni]

I have noticed the ones playing defensive tend to lose. Meaning Aggressive actions are key to this sport.

[@lozenge_]

+Mary Jane Since they have so much armour and their weapons aren't actually sharp I guess there isn't much room for accuracy and strategy and it's rather a matter of good reflexes, cardio, a bit of good technique and overall power/aggressiveness. Just my 2 cents.

[@niceguyeddie2022]

fights are usually ,, first clean blow landed wins the fight,, usually,, so yes,, going for that hit is usually benifitial,, unless,, ur opponant is great in defense,, ie BJJ in MMA,, took all the boxers and kickboxers by suprise, ,,

[@niceguyeddie2022]

take the game of thrones fight as an example,, the viper evaded and dodged and rolled and backflipped out of the mountains way,, and essentially won the fight,, against a massively superiorly sized opponant

[@lozenge_]

That's fiction. Plus, different weapons and equipment. Different style as well, the Viper using wushu in the tv series.

[@ryanong9817]

[@davidtogi5878]

I don't get it. How to determine which one is the winner? I see some head, hand, and body slash but those part is heavily protected with armor so there is no point, right? That israelian guy got 2 point. What did he do exactly to get that point?

[@jessecollins3652]

What’s the rope in the middle for?

[@asdfkhieee]

What is with the rope? Is it there to stop attacks to the legs, or just to keep them from going into grapple mode when they clash?
