Martial Artists REACT to The Best CQC in Video Games | Experts React

On this episode of Martial Artists React, Noah and Gemma are taking a look at a bunch of different games, and more specifically their close-quarters combat animations. From the swordplay of the Assassin's Creed franchise to the military takedowns of Ghost Recon, those martial artists will analyze the forms, motion capture, and realism of those CQC fight scenes while sharing a few of their own martial art stories.
Which game has the most realistic takedowns? What was the martial art that they took inspiration from? And more importantly, according to Noah, what is the definition of sex-appeal? Time to find out!
The following gameplay is a compilation of clips from six video games, such as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Watch Dogs: Legion, The Last of Us part 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and Uncharted 4: A Thieve's End.

[@matthewbergdorf4108]

For any “choking enthusiasts” in the comments, here’s the deal: The trick to unconsciousness is the brain, and choking does this by depriving oxygen. In a regular choke attacking the windpipe, it could take up to two minutes before they drop. Oxygen is already in the bloodstream, and the body will shut down extremities (like the hands and legs) to keep the brain oxygenated. The real shit is the blood choke, which closes the artery in the neck feeding blood to the brain. If that artery is closed, it doesn’t matter how much oxygen is in your blood; there’s no way to replace what the brain spends. The brain will deoxygenate and knock the person out in 3-5 seconds.

[@mcdonutboy9817]

Thats some good info I hope I won't ever have to use

[@Zirodays]

I Was just thinking about that too. Like how in Ghost recon breakpoint the character was cutting both arterys in the persons throat. I think slicing someones throat would kill them in 3-5 sec whilst choking would take 7-10 seconds like Noah said in the video

[@reimov]

Wouldn't that cause permanent brain damage though?

[@1609user]

@@reimov Depends on how long you choke

[@Dieci-9]

@@reimov not necessarily. It depends on how long you deprive brain of its oxygen. - Less than 10 seconds it's pretty safe. You just fall unconscious. - Above 14 seconds the brain starts suffering damage that may or may not be permanent. -Above 25 seconds it's usually enough to kill a person.

[@dieOsamas]

Loved the reaction! As someone who trains regularly with real steel swords, it would be hard; depending on what kind of sword you were using. Despite what people think, a well-crafted steel sword can actually be wielded fairly efficiently one-handed, but it gets tiring pretty fast if you're not in peak condition. That said, if you know enough not to cut yourself, this kind of fighting can be incredibly deadly, as it allows you to both attack and defend with both hands, enabling you to menace your opponents from multiple directions.

[@Michael-bn1oi]

That's interesting that he mentioned using a light like that. The only game I've seen that functional in is of course MGSV. It's just the slightest stagger, but it can save you from a detection when you need to rush someone down. That game is unrivaled in kill and takedown creativity to this day

[@dphalanx7465]

Interesting your talk about double swords. The Florentines taught a double rapier style that I saw demoed once--it was a whirling propeller disc of blades, but you needed good, flexible wrists and coordination to pull it off. I would think Chinese MA must have some sort of double-sword technique--the blades are slim and light enough to be of use.

[@sillidill5227]

[@manwoman1680]

To answer Noah's question about dual wielding swords: In my experience, most wooden/solid polymer training swords are actually heavier than the real, sharp steel. Granted, a pound lighter at most but the weight is not what you worry about. Unless you're dual wielding longswords or greatswords in which case, what is wrong with you? Dual wielding sabers as shown in Black Flag is difficult mostly because of weight distribution but also the length of these blades. In most European swords, the weight and balance is directed towards your middle and ring fingers. With sabers though, it is directed to your wrists. This isn't objectively bad, it has its own advantages like being able to direct it about differently and set up better feigns. The only problem is that it quickly becomes tiring, compared to regular longswords and the like. The biggest problem comes in a variable issue. Holding two blades of the same size means they're much harder to maneuver around. Granted, if you have two kitchen knives you can probably get away with it but when it comes to sabers with blades two or three feet long? You'll quickly notice a problem. It's not impossible, but it limits your actions and the space available to do those actions. You swing left, but if you swing down with the next, there's a good chance you'll block yourself. If you parry with the right, you remove a good sized angle you're able to use for swinging. Hope this helps. :D

[@windhelmguard5295]

@@the_corvid97 they could fight for way longer than that, in fact roman legionaries wore their armour all day, only taking it off for maintenance, while bathing or to sleep and they trained with weapons and shields that were twice the weight of what they'd carry into battle, they also built roads, bridges and fortifications while in armour, they were conditioned for stamina. the reason why legionaries were able to rest mid battle was because their formations consisted of three shorter rows, as opposed to one long one, which allowed for the last row to rest, while the front row fought and the second row shielded them from above, the rows would cycle through on command simply because the second row couldn't hold their shields up forever. a knight would be a completely different story. knights and men at arms rode into battle on horseback and usually used lances or war hammers, swords were mainly used as a backup weapon, self defence tools while on the road, or in duels. also historical swords were much lighter than most people think and properly balanced, a good reproductions barely tires you out more than a fist fight.
