This duel was basically Knight vs. Samurai, and the Knight won decisively.

[@StorminNormanTheMormon]

Great to have you back, you introduced me to the historical scene back in the day.

[@KnightSquire]

If you like this format and have any ideas for fights to review, let me know.

[@KKRCeb]

the training fight at the beginning of Kingdom of Heaven, pls.

[@TITANia69420]

Here's a very niche one: Sir Francis Haddock vs Red Rackham in Adventures of Tintin. It may be a Saber/Cutlass fight but still

[@KellyJellyCake]

Please review that time you opened up my boyfriends hand, he's available for interviews ❤

[@AndrogynousRatCatcher]

[@bantartican4926]

I love this format psyically showing what’s happening most fight scene autopsy are just sitting in a chair ranting or demonstration solo but having a second there is really useful I love it keep it up

[@mayena]

Jedi lightsaber fights is beyond practicality with their full use of telekinesis.

[@crusaderknight007]

I am indeed. Hoping to comeback to the sweet embrace of KZbin a lot more regularly now the little one is a bit bigger.

[@houayangthe3rd]

@@KnightSquire glad you're back

[@madbrosheo1514]

It’s so nice to see decent lightsaber fights again in Ahsoka. It’s still not on the level of the prequels in terms of speed and flashiness, but it’s a massive improvement from Disney’s other attempts.

[@Chaosism]

Nice to see a video uploaded!!

[@KnightSquire]

Thanks mate, been working on a big one for a while, hopefully be finished soon. :D

[@Chaosism]

@@KnightSquire Can't wait!! Still need a cutting video! :P

[@eth3244]

Are you planning on attending any tournaments soon? It'd be great to see you at one of the Wessex League arms!

[@glowstickofdestiny1290]

WOO KNIGHTSQUIRE UPLOAD -defend-

[@thecosmiccall3802]

I am curious if you guys have looked into, studied or practice established Lightsaber forms. Not a criticism at all! I am just curious if you've taken the time to see how those forms apply to practical or historical sword fighting.

[@KnightSquire]

Yes, and I've known a few superb longsword practitioners go along to popular light saber groups. It's interesting, but obviously a very very different practice. A human moving a sword shaped weapon is obviously limited in scope to the degree where there is of course some cross over. But in my experience they don't have the know how, physical skill or experience to fence with most intermediate longsword fencers in full sparring conditions. Their lack of hand protection alone leads to a variety of rules or behaviours that do not apply. It's a cool, fun, very visual thing to practice... but if someone wanted to fence well (as in as we believe swordman would have conducted themselves with these weapons when they were used), practice Historical fencing. To be clear, I'm not condemning them, lots of things can have some parallels to historical swordsmanship, like LARPing probably does. But even if a lightsabers club curriculum borrows more from historical sources than the films, or lightsabers forms... The weapon is different, the conditions are different, and the protection is different.

[@machrider3223]

Omg he still posts DAMM

[@BekoPharm]

Oh… a new video by @KnightSquire - been a while. The day is getting better and better 🤓
