First off, I’m amazed at your skill. This clearly took a ton of effort and work to be able to do, and that effort shows in how fluid your movement are. Secondly, as we can see, shockingly, armor was made to be worn by humans. It thus is made to allow for human movement. Not sure why game/movie/book writers can’t seem to see that.

Most insane way to fight

Where do you get that greatsword from

Would you think having a training spear head ok the other end to allow for the full use of both ends would be beneficial? Or are those types of techniques not really that useful?

Could I ask you something? In moments like 5:01 we see the 2 combatants closing on each other and getting their halberds locked together. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to grab the halberd closer to the pointy end since it will give them more strength on the lock and more control over the tip of their weapons?

You know that's basically on par what I expected to happen.

That was stupidly funny!

Хрень полная, никто не будет ждать пока ты там с мечем крутишься, тебе сделают подсечку или ударят обратным концом. У меча нет шанса против копья.

The medieval combat equivalent of "smoke em if you got em"

Out numbered = Dead Forget the movies, forget the anime. A group of farmers could easily kill a knight with some daggers and pitch forks.

Do you think the lightness of the halberd heads (I'm assuming rubber is lighter than steel) effects the balance of cuts vs thrusts in your sparring? The last time I picked up a halberd at a reenactment I was a little taken aback by how heavy it was and I remember thinking that if I used it in a fight I'd probably want to do 80% thrusts and only use the edge in special circumstances. (This is in no way a criticism of what you're doing; it looks awesome and I know Meyer et al do include plenty of big sweeping cuts in their halberd sections.)

Not when they’re made of foam

А если мой противник будет сопротивляться?

Your attackers don't seem too aggressive 😑

Great example and explanation! If your opponent has both more reach and power you need to find other ways to reach him/her so for example the group needs to coordinate their attacks in order to surpass it's defences but that type of coordination is not easy to achieve and requires lots of training.

For me it was the Lucerene Polehammer.

Дефолтный крестьянин с копьем

Parry this you filthy casual

What if you attack near the handguard to parry it though, because momentum and leverage being reduced by doing so, you be wearing armour in RL so you could do that no?

Hi, nice video. What halberts exactly are you using? Could you recommend them?

Now Dragonslayer!

You should do breastplates and katzbalgers next! (Or a messer or something since I doubt everyone has a katzbalger trainer)

Remind me of Arya vs Briene sh*t 😂

dont get what the illustration is supposed to show

DIE TROMMELN, DIE TROMMELN LÄRMAN LÄRMAN LÄRMAN HEIRIDIRIDIRAN, RIDIRAN FRISCH VORAN LANDSKNECHT VORAN!

Ah yes the legendary frag claymore. It shatters into shrapnel at the moment of impact

Quite simply, if you’re outnumbered 5 to 1 and still talking about “conserving your energy”, what exactly are you saving your energy for?

This guy is objectively cool

Shield + pike like Spartan its better.

А вертеться обязательно или можно просто по бырому пырнуть?

where do you get your half plate?

People forget there's a thing called conditioning too, they assume because they're too fat and lazy to achieve something in their current condition, that you are just as bad lol

Hema and miniatures ,how geeky,I myself take part in manly things like MMA (very manly shaving your mate's bikini line )and watching football(watching young men in shorts run about )😊great vid ,more and more convinced that the sword is a poor weapon in mass combat😊

Imagine being in a pike block, walking into another pike block 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I'm curious about the sources and their context. Can we assume this is representative of military style techniques? How would they change or be affected by denser formations of fighters or multiple enemies/allies? Of course the scenario displayed is 1v1 but i'm curious about if there is anything in regards to the use of the weapon with more restricted range of motion due to space confinements of a battlefield or other obstructions such as walls or doorways

Herrlich.

Can you make videos talking more about the variation of halberd types in RUclips and Instagram plis ? It will help a lot of new historical fencing fighters to now more about the weapons who they will fight

The halberds are pretty good fight weapons

Very beautiful

Some of the cleanest hema fencing i've seen. Beautiful!

Hi Oskar, gear question. Do you find the Cobra mask to be a decent compromise when fencing in half armour? I have a sallet and bevor for my half armour set up and separately the Cobra mask for fencing. I am a bit hesitant of playing with the sallet as it still has its openings and I don't want to go full speed with it.

Average souls pvp tryhards be like:

I dont think that last one was a Greatsword? looked more like a Zweihander

So it’s a no

Some really nice actions from all players, although personally I would avoid getting the heads entangled. In those cases strenght tends to become the dominant factor, and there is always going to be somebody stronger.

On shortening the grip: I often do it in group fights, and I'm using a 1300 AD spear, I imagine it would be indispensable with halberds. If I'm dueling a spearman, then I can get away with having my full reach, but when I have to defend several spear pokes to the flanks of my meat shields (i.e. people in the shieldwall I hide behind)? Being quicker on the defense is more important because if the shieldwall falls, I'm next on the menu. The other spearman can also just be really fast, maybe because he has a smaller spearhead or maybe because he works out more, so you need to make not getting stabbed a priority until one of your mates can help you dogpile him.

Dude… helbard fighting AND historical Wargaming? You won the internet for today

Very insightful! Thank you very much!
