Lucerne hammer

[@dequitem]

This is a non-choreographed knight fight with full speed and full force behind every strike and thrust. The weapon from the video is a safe training tool from Dominus Gladius: dominusgladius.com/drevkova-zbroia/534/ Stay safe and dont kill your training partners.

Yes I wondered because I saw at least one blow clearly went under the rim of the helm on the guy wearing the coat of plates, and it looked hard enough to pierce chain mail.

Daggers. No matter what weapon you start out with, in the end every armored duel comes down to grappling and daggers.

[@dequitem]

Around 50 % end in close combat with daggers, but you are in most cases injured before and the grappling can be more difficult.

[@MrGabol100]

@@dequitem Some of those hits looked pretty hardcore, it might have been a different tune if the Hammer had a metal head.

@@MrGabol100 exactly its easy to tank a strike from a 1kg hard plastik weapon in armor but not that easy if its 2,5 kg spiky steel.

[@ramellamarco12]

This could easily be the ending sequence to a great film.. like a medieval version of Heat: two sworn enemies finally encounter and they fight to the death. No music, small figures, wide shots, bleak colors.. there is little glory to be seen, only brutal and merciless combat. Even decency comes short when they drop on the ground in a dagger fight, with armor plates falling off and littering the place. And as the winner stands up over his opponent, only silence and exhaustion greet him. Makes you wonder if any of this was really worth it in the end.

[@cheapshotfishing9239]

I thought the same exact thing. Whole fight carries a very primal feel, like watching two bugs fight

[@karelpgbr]

Reminds me of the end of “The Highwaymen” starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner. It’s bleak, for them, yeah they succeeded, but they had to kill to do it. Nothing romantic about it

[@NormanPrevident]

[@Quoxozist]

I didn't see what "killed" him until I ran it back - right at 1:14 is the dagger thrust to the neck that gets into the armor and right down into his chest, the knight in red wiggles it around in there for a second too, knowing it was solid hit - the other knight has a last burst of energy but he can't find an opening with his dagger, and then after he falls, the red knight finishes him through the armpit.

Pretty bad when some random KZbin videos have more medieval accurate armor/weaponry and fighting choreography than Game of Thrones. With that said, these have been astoundingly great 👍🏻

[@dequitem]

But we don't do choreographed stuff. This is real.

[@bigcrackrock]

Really going at it for the most part but I caught the editing that turns it into a different scene than the shorts version.

[@dequitem]

@@bigcrackrock indeed I often connect two duels to make longer fights for the long videos and sometimes shorter fights for the KZbin shorts. When I meet other fighters and we record some duels, it often happen that every duel don't last longer than 30 seconds. Good luck to make a video out of that. Or try to make a short out of fights that all last longer than 2 minutes.
