Double Longsword vs Pole-arm (Ben Aycrigg + Adam Lytle)

[@terrorcop101]

I like how at one point he put his swords together to basically make a polearm.

[@danyaelpecson557]

That was back to back half-swording right there

[@MachineMan-mj4gj]

Is this a "realistic" fight? Probably not. Is it well choreographed, shows that both participants have mastery over their weapons and convinces the audience that they're trying to hit each other? Absolutely and I love it.

[@createria2]

yeah you're right, even if something like this gets to happen both broke each others guards multiple times, which could've simple ended with a stab or fence

I mean, it's not. It's a choreographed fight. Look up HEMAA. That's about how it would be. Unscripted chaos. There's no clashing swords and parrying like in this video. This is just showmanship. Cool nonetheless though

[@Stargazzer811]

@@lordfarquad7750 Showmanship though it may be, it does prove its feasible. Meaning that with practice and proper application, it could be used outside of a situation like this. It would be situationally dependent of course and probably not nearly as effective, but feasible nonetheless.

I find your lack of reach disturbing. The choreo is dope, but the whole damn point of a spear is to use the long stick part to keep the pointy end (and therefore the other guy) away from you.

Best comment so far

[@kennedy072]

I Like it a proper spear technique that doesn't use some flashy move too much, i might like Chinese Spear fighting but most of it are for theatrical purpose which is still entertaining. At the end of the day it still comes down to thrusting and swinging a simple yet elegant weapon.

[@mattisbette3932]

While I like this choreography a lot. It isn't really proper spear fighting. The spear is more used like a quarter staff with the many strikes a spins it makes. Using it like a spear would mean gripping it further back and using the thrust and spears reach to keep the opponent out of reach. But that wouldn't make for such a dynamic fight scene.

[@robertoj.9509]

@@mattisbette3932 Whenever I read: "Oh, in real fights, the proper use of the spear was... " I highly doubt people in battle had the brains to focus in proper use of anything, guys would be biting, yelling, cursing, throwing rocks and hoping for the best outcome while using the sword like a fan.

[@mattisbette3932]

@@robertoj.9509 It probably dependent on the fighters skills. A fight is a stressful situation so realizing what your opponent is doing and how you where taught to respond is really difficult. Good fighters however would definitely do this much better. However the spear is a rather interesting weapon to use. Tell someone that never fought to always keep the tip pointed at the opponent and they probably do quite well if the opponent has less reach. So for someone to wield a spear and stop with the simple plan of pointing the tip at them and start using it like a quarter staff because they panicked seems unlikely. Also there is a difference between a duel and a battle. What we see here is a duel. In battle armies fought each other and they employed some sort of formation. In movies we see armies running into each other and the frontline turning into complete mayhem. That sort of thing was very uncommon in history. People fought in formations to avoid mayhem. If the formation was broken people usually started to flee. So in case of a battle it seems even more unlikely to start to flail around with your weapon because the opponent is in one direction. So you slash and stab only that way otherwise you will endanger your fellow soldiers.

[@ghostderazgriz]

A bit flashy, but quite a few iconic moves. Really fun sequence. Tighten up the movements and increase the intensity and you got yourself a winner. Imo I'd throw out the pole grabbing at the end though. Just looks silly while the sword just spins in place doing nothing while it waits for the opponent to rearm.

Exactly how lord of the rings and other high fantasy characters would fight! For high fantasy, rule of cool with a dash of realism and believability like this would be nice, rather than pure monochromatic realism and grittiness. I like the idea of using the two swords like a polehammer with a butt spike. I bet bastard swords would be even more wieldly and better for dual wielding, as they are a good 'middle ground' between longsword and smaller swords. The flourish at the end is also very nice and represents the realistic way of using a longsword in a more fantasical sense.

This is a clear act of spear neglect and abuse, if you want use a quarterstaff / Bo staff go for it, but you are holding a spear use your foot work, spacing, parry & riposte. If I put rapier in your hand you instantly know how to use. Grab a spear and all the sudden we’re swinging it around like a human being has never used a a stick with a pointy end to survive in the wild or in a duel or in a war. The spear deserves better! Cool Choreography!

I don't know, I just can't get into the "cool" mood when one fighter spends the majority of his time pointing the single dangerous part of his weapon AWAY from the opponent. They clearly can choreograph but if you want to choreograph a weapon fight, you need to stick at least to the most fundamental rules of using weapons.

[@ItsMe-uq6el]

Great choreography, but man, I thought at least one of you were to become 1 eye short

double polearm when?

[@someguy4405]

Just noticed this but at about 0:06 he just passes up an opportunity to stab him with the left-hand sword even though he's wide-open on that side and goes for his spear instead. Little things like that throughout. Looks very cool but not the most realistic.

[@Maodifi]

@SellSwordArts should see this

[@djx7134]

Brilliant. Always wondered why choreography doesn't take more from historical practice. No need to go 100% authentic, but half the time the actors are swinging swords around like baseball bats. If you're going to fight like a brute anyway, just get yourself a club.
