Learn the Art of Combat - All Halberd techniques

[@camerongunn7906]

I actually grimaced real hard when you did the overhand twohanded axe swing. Just imagine the amount of force that came with that. But as these forms show, never discount a good old fashioned jab to the face.

[@happy_camper]

Truly a formidable weapon! It's great to see all the plays together! Using the halberd has been one of my fitness motivators since recovering from muscle injury 💪. Thank you for all your content!

[@Actually_Sanguinius]

Halberds deserve more primary screentime.

[@PolnareffPendragon22]

Perfect💯👍👏

[@valandil7454]

Your demonstrations are perfect, you make every movement and their intention clear thank you 🙂

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

Can't wait for this awesome looking game to come out!

[@JonTheGoose7]

Yes, excellent. My training is nearly complete.

[@dankodanko1504]

Hey thank u so much for posting all these videos. I (sadly) can't afford going to a class for fencing or polearm fighting. So I can Learn by ur videos. :D it's a great help. Thinking of buying a transcription of Joachim Meyers treaties to even go deeper. Big thnx to you and your work from Bielefeld. Keep it up.

Have a look at "Navicartum"! Its our Meyer app if you wanna have the source :)

Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos.

[@dropkickcorpse]

Great concise summary, thanks for the slo-mo too.

[@tonapc2963]

Fantastic! - and Corelli is an excellent choice of music. Now I want a halberd.

[@johnssmith4005]

Very nice work

[@hugojoewilson]

Please. Make a video with Halbberd vs Zweihander !!!

[@taylorahern3755]

That is one deadly, effective & formidable weapon! And you dear Sir wield it like a seasoned pro, a real skilled expert & a powerfully motivated practitioner. Great Job💯👍

[@lukethechampion169]

[@Sp3rw3r]

Your channel does not have enough viewers. You deserve more. I mentioned you in the comment section of Shadiversity's video "A gift to GAME DEVS". I hope it helps

[@brandonfarfan1978]

Excellent vid.👏

[@AaronPaulIbarrola]

So like, I've been wondering, where do y'all get the pants?

[@dirckthedork-knight1201]

That spin was sick!

[@KentHartmann]

Wonderful presentation. Fantastic work as always.

[@platypusbuk]

Love it

[@tuankhaichu7350]

Love your video! Can you show us the halberd technique against other type of weapon like sword, mace, shield or pike?

[@TheApocalypticKnight]

Lovely video!

[@octo925]

It would be really interesting to see a comparison between these halberd techniques and say the techniques for a Naginta, which is a Japanese halberd and more often practiced by women.

"It's just a fancy axe on a stick, how complicated can it be?"

Its not :)

[@BirchTreeReborn]

Play number 6 has me a bit confused. It seems like it opens up your guard by a great deal and for a long time leaving you open for a quick thrust. Do you see play #6's flourish having any usage for attack? It seems like it's just meant for spacing unless that flourish is part of a feint.

Hey there :) Just have a look at my "Halberd techniques part one" vid for more details. If you have still questions, dont hesitate to ask :)

[@jesusclements5225]

Do you ever do any free-play sparring with the halberd and/or poleaxe or is the risk of concussions too high?

Sparring should be part of every training... with the halberd you should only be a little careful and choose your partners a little more carefully. With pole weapons you need more sense of responsibility than with the blade weapons. But to answer the question. Yes I do.

[@deividoliveirafaria6541]

Very nice! Do you have any one-handed battle axe skill to teach? Maybe also combined with shield. Thank you.

[@oneilomator]

Hi, this May Be the wrong Video but... I'm wondering, how practicable is it to have a Triangle shaped parry Bar? Like the sword would be an arrow. In my Imagination, the opponends sword is deflected and redirected away from "my" body and the opponend needs Power to stop his own sword or exposing himself if He swings through. Do you maybe have already a Video about parry Bars?

[@NitsuaNamsaa]

Its been killing me for awhile... What's the opening song in your videos? 😅

[@Die-Sophie]

Hi, wie lange ist deine Holzstange für die Hellebarde?

210cm plus Kopf...je nachdem wir groß Du bist reichen auch 200cm...würde immer so 115% Deiner Körperlänge nehmen und dann zusätzlich den Kopf aufsetzen :)

[@Die-Sophie]

@ Merci

[@picrust314]

What is the total length of the halbeard?

@@picrust314 It differs a lot but in my experience around 115% of your height is a good lenght :)

[@joeyvanhaperen7715]

Long story short bassicly everything boiles down to hook the enemy's shaft with the beard of your halberd and strike. Sow the best defence against someon trained in meyer would be bait them into trying to hook your halberd, move to the inside and trust. Also if you don't want to kill bait them into trying to hook your halberd, move to the inside, grab your halberd midshaft, push there shaft over your head, place the shaft of your weapon infront of there neck and your leg behind there's and pull back. I never actuely relised how well a poleaxe is designed to deal with longer polearms, but seeying this I started relising how usefull it's small size but heavy weight would be.

[@tomsweeny6837]

When pink ranger stops showing up in demonstration videos I'll know why.

[@bullyt2170]

Ich fänd toll einen Beitrag davon von Euch zu sehen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OwmHSOnth-e8U #medievalcombatreference

[@bliblivion]

Hello Mister Rüther i quite love your demonstrations and when i saw the project of an other youtuber #medievalcombatreference "Shadiversity" kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4OwmHSOnth-e8U which have for goal to compile Move sets as refference for the videogame industry i imediatly thought that you already have put a lot of combinaisons technique that could be reused as refference for video game developers and that maybe you would be interested in participating in this big project. i just wanted to draw you atention to it, thank you for your content.

[@Sp3rw3r]

Heh, I thought and wrote about the same. I should have read the other comments first

[@ThiLI0n]

Man, that looks unsafe on some plays. She had to move back alot for many of those thrusts not to hit her
