Okay so we were a bit hard on brits as americans for the "lol no guns" thing but they have just now provided us with the first ACTUAL sword fight caught on camera that isnt choreographed or part of some LARP sport.
like people want to say this isnt significant. This is like , from an anthropologist and historical angle , the coolest fucking video ever.

This is literally how people dealt with shit for the past 10,000 years
more importantly we never really had this on camera. This is a historical video. It gives you insight on how people would fight with swords when you remove dumb shit like martial arts and choreography that poisoned the concept of pre gunpowder warfare. This is what it looked like
almost every sword fight you have seen in TV , videogames , and movies is completely wrong and stupid.

this is what how somebody from a Medieval levy would fight after they were dragged off their farm for the war they were called into
They would have had no training beyond "this end goes into enemy". All fighting would be instinctual like we see in this video.

really really fascinating
And yes there is a difference between trained armies and "levy's" which was basically medieval draft for all men (peasants living on the lords land).
its similar to how you see movie fistfights vs actual fistfights. Also martial arts demonstrations are the same

choreographed vs your brain acting in milliseconds
People bringing up that levy's were issued spears this is correct. My mistake.
After watching the video a few thousand times some observations
1. The "zombie blade" is a kopis style sword from a "zombie" brand. Likely cost less that 100 bucks and is dogshit and banned in UK. May or may not be properly sharp. Will still hurt you badly.
2. The man holding the green zombie sword is either drunk (high probability its the UK) or physically or neurologically damaged based on his gait and way he walks and runs.
The machete (also banned) are by design not too sharp off the shelf. They are for chopping not cutting. So when at 45-46 second into the video , the man without the shirt strikes at the other guys stomach 2x , the clothes he was wearing protected him from being VERY badly hurt

As you can see the wounds are deep. However a properly sharpened sword with weight behind it is going to do ALOT more damage than this , almost always to the bone. He got away very lucky and will have seriously badass scars for life.
A’v cum b’out any money

STAND AND DELIVER , CUNT

this really blew up.

Justy want to say im really proud of all the dudes who said this video was awesome (thousands) and im disappointed in the few that said it was bad ( a few dozen)

nature is healing
science experiment

Women who watched the video. Did the guy without the shirt who won the fight make you want him to provide you with children on a biological level ? You agreeing with it is not relevant only the feeling.
50% of women are lying wow amazin

still amazed at the honesty of the 50% of women who want grug to rescue them from the enemy tribe
Wow this thread is still going. If you like swords at (relatively) affordable prices check out @Coldsteelknives They make badass real functional swords with correct steel chemistry and even test them.
Just remember though. Swords can cut you fucking wide open.
okay one last thing my friend made a sweet AMV and you should watch it and comment and share https://twitter.com/SexistVirgin/status/1391463497163235336
