Description: The Medieval world was a time of experimentation and discovery and of course warfare. This lead to some unusual weapons being used and surely one of the most fearful was the spiked flail. Matt Easton is a massively accomplished European Martial Arts practitioner and instructor and I make Medieval weapons and I really want to learn about flails so I treated Matt to an unexpected unboxing video of a flail. Matt made a great video called Top 10 Weird Medieval Weapons youtu.be/ZSSN6k-KhJk so I ambushed him with the flail and proposed we make more of these - he said yes!!! So let us know what you would like to see made by me and tested by Matt. This was filmed at Matt and Lucys event 'Fight Camp 2021". fightcampevents.com/schola-gladiatoria By complete luck a chap called Tom Sylvester had two practice flails so we asked him and some friends to spar so we could watch and it turned out to be very interesting even though they had not used them before.
