Watching these videos really makes it abundantly clear thatbreal sword fights didn't last very long.

[@j.d.4697]

That and often neither survived.

[@spanishinquisition7623]

I have a feeling that many people fought more cautiously knowing there life was on the line, at least in some instances. We also know of instances where adrenaline was high or people would fight incredibly aggressively.

[@ChaolaoFueChi]

​@Spanish Inquisition Maybe of small skirmishes, being ambushed or on a duel. Though, if it was a war zone situation, than that's a different story altogether.

[@theseukonnen1200]

I enjoy every Weaponism episode, but this may have been one of your best I've ever seen. These exchanges were absolutely phenomenal to watch, it's so great to see two competent users of two different but practical swordfighting styles actually managing lengthy, multi-blow exchanges before a hit is struck.

[@spartandevineagles]

The distance that he's come with his niten technique is inspiring. I remember when he was getting tired from holding the sword up for so long, now he's just lethal.

[@Ianmar1]

Niten means two heavens from taoist metaphysics which Musashi draws many allusions to, the kenshi here is using nito (ni=two, tō=sword) techniques.

[@jesuizanmich]

​@@Ianmar1 how do you recognise nito from niten? as far as I can tell, 二天一 and 二刀一 are synonyms for the two-sword techniques in Musashi's school.

[@j.d.4697]

Awesome duels, I love how everyone was learning and figuring things out the more this went on.

[@quintessenceSL]

Ya, will be re-watching this a few times to grasp the subtlety of what's going on.

[@spanishinquisition7623]

A very competent and fast buckler fighter. I can't say I have seen his half sword grip before, but it seems to work well for him when closing in most instances. Very impressive.

[@wiezumteufel9024]

You can see that both fighters are highly skilled!👏🏻

[@shinomori69]

The exchange at 2:15 would have made any action movie proud. Great video!

[@j.d.4697]

My new favorite channel for interdisciplinary combat experimentation and learning.

[@jonathanbartlett1098]

I enjoyed this quite a bit and it is great to see people pushing their skills like this. Messer and Buckler tends to stay in long point a lot, though, which makes his opening attacks more predictable than they need to be. If Katana and Wakizashi were to work on defending against thrusts, this match would be very different next time. Both tend to go only for the deep targets, though, leaving themselves vulnerable to hand strikes which would be disabling in a swordfight. Maybe it was because you guys did not have heavy hand protection and actively avoided hand targets? It's hard to tell. Overall, both of you are very proficient fighters and I would love to have a bout with both of you. This was delightful to watch

[@Hamond1989]

Excellent display of skills of both fighters! I especially liked the display of buckler half-swording that's gotta be some of the cleanest executions of those I've seen so far

[@belorianuskane1952]

I really like that you keep going after landing a hit. It demonstrates the real risk of receiving a counter blow pretty well, even if you manage to connect first with a proper attack. And in combat with adrenalin pumping that's very likely to happen I can guess

[@HipposHateWater]

Same. Tournaments controversies aside, I fully believe the worst should always be accounted for in practice so that the one landing the decisive hit will always be in the habit of accounting for any incedental dying blows from the one they just mortally wounded.

[@jax7715]

Yo I thoroughly enjoyed watching this crazy combo Battle soooo much, esp at 02:05-02:15!!! But for the whole time watching full video I held my breath! Not kidding! These guys are very strong and have great stamina. Thank you for this!!!! ❤️❤️😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CalebS1330]

This is the best match up we've seen to date on this channel, very well done.

1:47 is amazing, he looks like he is relaxing and suddenly your throat is cut, such speed and technique, damn

[@KamiSeiTo]

Awesome, thank you! I just wished we could have the fighters thoughts after the match, at the end.

[@HanzAdrianNervez]

Love the idea!!

[@AbdullahA-wo6be]

Wow! Some of the best sword exchanges I've ever seen, this channel never fails to amaze me!

[@AEsir_Goji]

Now this,... THIS is a matchup I've been long curious about!

[@dylanodoherty9702]

Competitive sparring with differently matched weapons should be more of a mainstream thing imo :/ Awesome video! 💪😊

[@nguyenmarvic1035]

I love martial art exchanges. It's always more excited to watch 2 ppl with 2 different fighting styles fight each other.

[@llllKyonllll]

This was absolutely amazing! Probably my favorite spar on the channel. Such interesting technique and the fight is so close.

[@keithb4077]

That was absurdly entertaining and incredibly impressive. Such great exchanges and techniques from both sides.

[@IzanaG1z]

2 mundos totalmente distintos se enfrentan en el dojo coreano hoy

[@edi9892]

It's a great combination. BTW: it is also quite effective at close range and somewhat effective against armour. You can punch and hammerfist with both weapons. Plus, you can use the blade as a lever in grapling.

[@blake.1312]

That was such an awesome fight!

[@kanubeenderman]

excellent skills on both sides, very interesting technique with the buckler, but I suppose it makes sense to support the smaller shield from below.

[@alessandronavone6731]

Yep, it's the standard technique, and it's not just to support the shield: you intercept the enemy attack with both sword and shield, then use the shield to guide off line and control the enemy sword while simultaneously counterattacking with your sword.

[@rehwr]

It's also to protect your sword hand from attacks so you can threaten them with the point.

[@alexanderkummer4714]

I really enjoy all of your Videos! Please keep up the great Work!🙏🏽 Thank you very much and kind regards from Germany 🤗

[@muyodosel1658]

This is some of the rare video that shows shields actually gets used in a way that makes sense

[@lefleurondargent]

That's impressive, both are on the same level of mastering their weapons and the result is great.

[@dramalexi]

This is one of the best fights I've seen so far on this channel. Great job!

[@Archangel-pd1rn]

Awesome! Finally someone who can use a shield! Very cool duel, nice show of swordsmanship!

[@ianjohnson8419]

I.33 has always been one of my favorite manuals. It was awesome to see someone who has internalized the techniques enough to be able to keep their sparring true to the style.

This is one of the best videos, such a great matchup!

[@thicclegendfeep4050]

Hollywood thinks a swordfight can't look cool and follow practical fighting logic, and stuff like this proves them wrong.

[@goldlionmax]

Great fight! The buckler user got from sassy to strategy ❤😂

[@loganwolfram4216]

I love the energy of sparring on this channel

[@alfonsovallejo2665]

I see that the ito ryu guy struggled at the beggining to figure out how to counter the buckler, but when it got used to it, it showed.

[@azuredragon9928]

Hopefully weaponism make a another sparring video with a rapier and dagger combo against a katana and wakizashi combo, the sword style/swordplay both swords looks kinda similar

[@VTPSTTU]

This was fun to watch. Thanks for posting.

[@gabrielmeth4844]

This is something to see! 🎉🎉🎉

[@redbunnytail9528]

Definitely a cool thing to watch. Course. Can you adequately test 'power?' I remember reading about Tesshu and he was 6'+ and he was aggressive and strong. Most martial arts and weapons forms cannot adequately rate against someone with tremendous strength/power. I remember going to a few Cheng Hsin classes in Berkeley, and the teacher would always say, test power on heavy bag. I can tell you from experience, first time I ever sparred, I one shotted a kung fu champion from China, who was in the movie 'Shaolin Temple.' If you know anything about those movie guys, from China. They won't have any of that stuff, IF they can help it. Power is more than an equalizer, but very hard to fit into a martial arts school/system. Teachers maintain trust and devotion from their students, because every student must be lower than them.

Tower shields are the only ones used in modern terms riot sqauds or raid gear and is a example of ancient weapon used today . Bucklers ofer little protect and smashing people with towers shield pairs as a effective duel shield and weapon .

[@cumulus4119]

Just, what can I say, very nice Video! Love your content! Keep it up!

[@lumri2002]

Truly small shields were used by some great warriors such as Circassians and Sikhs.

[@vovolk1]

Красиво! Хочется больше видео с работой баклером.

[@ElDrHouse2010]

Because speed is key in 1 vs 1 duels. Try using an small shield on an army formation, its not going to work. Large shields are better for war with other soldiers next to you with large sheilds, small shields are better for the duel.

Awesome

[@toxicblackwidow9841]

Touching is not killing, not even wounding, assuming that you are wearing some protections. Must be good fun, but no incapacitating blows. Good skills, nice to watch but by no mean a true reflexion of what real swords and shields fights once were.

[@andybarth5928]

wow this was a good fight - I see why I have a likeness for the Buckler...

[@daryl4751]

The man with the buckler looks like he doesn't care if he dies.

[@IzItWorthIt311]

damn That sword and bucker thou!!!!

[@dolsopolar]

didn't even show big shield vs small shield. great video but the clickbait is disappointing.

[@Vimokshadaka]

I guess the buckler is best employed with straight arm extended and fully front facing, with a weapon used for piercing in the other hand?

[@Ianmar1]

Great match up!

[@sachaesskeli5622]

That was great 👍

[@WinnipegKnightlyArts]

This is a great bout. Though I would like to see Messer by itself. When using it with a buckler, most of the techniques become sword and buckler techniques, so you don't really see much of the technique special to Langesmesser.

[@cz6774]

A lot of double-hit's. Foot work is really the key to everything... Once you've got legs or arms crossed who-ever has a free weapon can hit while the opponents weapons are trapped. Obviously a bladed buckler would make a huge difference.

[@KlausBeckEwerhardy]

Just great.

[@joco762]

[@WILDMUSTANGX]

More powerful than what? Larger shields? Well, they do allow for more maneuverability and visibility, but they offer virtually the same protection as a second sword, which I would personally prefer.
