Description: There are quite a few different strategies in historical martial arts, depending on the type of sword (or other weapon) used, the opponent's fighting style, and your own intention. This approach is what I personally consider to be the least risky (considering that armed dueling is obviously not exactly safe no matter what). You might find it interesting as inspiration / reference for animations or choreographies in video games or movies, or to describe some tricks that an experience swordsman could use in a fantasy novel, etc. We're demonstrating a few techniques with both single-handed (arming sword / messer) and two-handed (longsword) weapons. *** Music *** Intro song: "Illuminate" by Vindsvept vindsvept.bandcamp.com/track/illuminate Used with artist's permission Outtakes: "Little People At Work" by Horrorpen opengameart.org/content/little-people-at-work-loop Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license (CC BY 3.0) Outro: "Highland Storm" by The Slanted Room Records theslantedroom.github.io/steve.yee Used with artist's permission *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server patreon.com/skallagrim subscribestar.com/skallagrim youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Want to treat your face fluff?
