Daneaxe hunt

Daneaxe hunt
This is a training video made by viking fight group Ulfhednir, based in Copenhagen Denmark.
Intro music: "Alright" - Zen In Noise

Ulfhednir is a viking reenactment group with a main focus on fighting with replicas of viking weapons.
We attend both private and public events throughout the year in Denmark and abroad. Our way of fighting is, apart from the historical perspective, a sport for which we train weekly. There are many different rules of fighting within the viking community, and our way corresponds mostly to what is used in Europe and Scandinavia.
The videos we post here are targeted the fighters who attend our weekly trainings, and should be considered as a reminder of the techniques we teach. Thus the detail level of these techniques will be much greater in our training hall than on this channel.

How tall should a Dane axe be?

[@martinuslaevus4935]

Probably maximum length is from ground to the chest. If you have some time, look at Bayeux tapestry (full on wikipedia).

[@fyrivikingcombat]

For Western style, most of them vary from 170cm to 190cm, it will depende on the fighter's hight. Our Daneaxe man is 180cm tall and his Daneaxe is 170.

@@fyrivikingcombat Have you found historical evidence for that length?

[@fyrivikingcombat]

@@martinuslaevus4935 the evidence, as mentioned , are the tapestries that show they would be shoulder/chest length. As Viking Combat western style is a sport practice, there are some aspects that we need to adapt in order to make it competitive :)

Bayeux tapestry will show chest-high axes, but you can also find smaller ones, around waist-high
