Most brutal Duel Death Scenes and the storys behind them

I was actually wondering how "real" the dagger stabs are. You describing the first one giving your friend a neck injury actually made me feel uneasy, looking at how raw you guys go at it sometimes, damn. Thank you for the incredible content and risking your NECKS out there for these. Definitely one of the best "historical combat" channels.

[@AJWhite-qi3jo]

The amount of bruises, cuts, and broken bones these people must have gotten over the years is kind of concerning. He took a (blunt) throwing spear straight to the inner thigh, that had to have left a nasty bruise. And those hits to the head with the pole hammer must've been nasty.

[@countervolition]

@AJWhite-qi3jo I feel like after a while you get used to it and start to enjoy the pain and adrenaline (except for obvious injuries), blood memory kicking in. One of the only times you get to experience that "blood rush" in the modern age.

@@dequitem Who pays for the health-insurance? And will they still pay for these injuries if they knew what you are doing? How did you sell this injury as a 'Unfall' or 'Sportverletzung'?

[@pinkdogroslyn8832]

It’s no drawn out cinematic “so be it” kind of end. It’s a savage, swift, and frightening crunch of a rondel into the neck or armpits. It’s disturbingly non-personal. No monologues, no emotions, no deliberation. I love honest, real combat, because real men have died this way. It’s not romanticized, it’s terrifying.

[@dequitem]

It's much more personal than you think, even when you can't see and hear him under the helmet, because you can feel the muscles work under the armor of your opponent and how he is struggling to block you.

[@kingstannisbaratheon7974]

Of all the films, re-enactments and TV shoes I have ever seen, these duels are by far the best. While I sincerely hope nothing serious ever happens to you or your opponents, I will say that I cannot understate how much I respect and appreciate the amount of effort and risk you put yourselves through to produce such authentic combat.

[@dequitem]

Thank you very much!

[@nickthegreat9434]

You dont upload particularly often as youtubers come but it still surprises you can even upload that often considering how many lasting injuries a lot of these duels seem to cause! Your perseverance is inspirational my friend!

[@dashrendar5320]

Very interesting to hear you say how changing to a knife changes, or is a progression of a story. Most of your videos despite having very little to no dialogue do feel like a story and great how you can convey that with just actions

[@yuribezmenovthegreat4705]

​@@jacobms911i think we are far from that point rn, but maybe in the future, the next half century

[@nealblumenkehl6828]

In real life, we will probably see that it looked like what it does now on the street via getting jumped or mugged with a knife or baseball bat or crowbar. Armor changes things, but by how much? If it was on the battlefield, or a personal duel, at least you knew it was coming. I wonder how often knights or trained rogues and soldiers in everyday society would simply jump one another with a bladed or blunt weapon, unarmored, most often. That would be brutal, perhaps quick or not, and not very romantic. No background sound track. Would look like a street gang fight unless arranged otherwise. Can't imagine the violent societies that the illiterate men at arms, peasants and even knights and lords were part of were all that different and intellectual. Probably just the opposite. Street knowledge.

[@Callsign_Prophet]

I hope a film production takes into consideration actual combat from the period and hires you as an advisor.

@@Hyper_Technic-xn6gj it's not impossible to make safe probs and fake the impact!

[@dfghj241]

@@dequitem frankly how do you really stay safe? i'm sure the maces and poleaxes are not actual metal, but some form of rubber? like i know the armor can take it, but in the situations you guys are fighting unarmored, it seems impossible to mantain the level of realism we are seeing while "pretend" hitting, specially considering edged weapons and faces. are these weapons really just dulled metal?

[@Sir_captain_idiot]

Those we're some amazing death scenes, the one where you used the Tanto especially. Maybe it's just me, but I love those types of death scenes where you need to get really close to the opponent to do the final blow just feel more personal than leaving some space between you and the opponent with a Sword. Really good! Also, Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Hope we get more amazing content!

[@dequitem]

Yes we will but in the new year!

[@wrcalan4603]

The video of the tenth death, in my impression, Nicholas gave me the feeling that he really wanted to kill you. In your first fight. He broke that flail. I never fogot that.

[@nikvett]

With all this unscripted, unchoreographed fight scenes, it's easier to imagine how it was back in the day, really good stuff. I wish you guys get hired to direct fight scenes in cinema.

1:22 "The real kill is to injure your opponent so that that it is much more easier to finish him with the dagger on the ground." This sounds like highly practical advice.

Yet again bravo sir bringing my favourite period to life I've been in modern combat but medieval brings a whole new level of savage face to face fighting

would be interested to see details of the titanium etc protection you mentioned a couple times that you wear under your armor! sounds like a lot of thought and work go into these and it's super cool to get this look into how you do it, would love to see more (especially the gear! i recognize some of the polearm heads but what considerations you take re:safety would be so interesting to hear)

[@dequitem]

I mentioned dominusgladius.com a couple of times in other videos, there you can buy safe training weapons, like polearms with hard rubber heads, but I still recommend safety equipment like hema gear or modified armor. I think I will make a video about my safety equipment soon.

[@mindbomb9341]

It is interesting to me how many of these "kills" end up with both fighters on the ground in a rolling brawl. I must imagine that in a large battle, this would be less likely, as it might not be so exciting to give up your standing position with enemies very near you -- to get down on top of your opponent to drive a dagger through him with your full weight. So, did that mean someone knocked down in a larger battle was less likely to be finished off with a "dagger kill shot"? Or finished off at all? Any thoughts on this?

[@dequitem]

Yes to your questions at the end!

[@amicableenmity9820]

There's reports of soldiers doing a once over of the battlefield after the battle to finish off those who weren't killed immediately.
