Lika hämskt ändå

Sjuta någon blir blod men inte lika mycket

Inte konstit marken flöt av blod vid såna krig

Döda så för Massa blod Måste låsa in det annars finns de galningar som kan döda med detta Inte bra Du tränsr på samma stt med annat

Som H itler Nasister

Vitmaktare är inte heller bra

Modern historians: Giant axe's didn't exist because they are heavy and in practical

Is this right or left plow? Meyer keeps confusing me with his description since going after his text this would be right plow, but in Liechtenauer this would be left plow. Am I just too stupid for Meyers description or did he switch them?

I do use such weapon in similar manner, except for that powerful strike with both hands at the end. Found out IT works much better if you JUST leave your bottom hand after IT gets energy And hit one handed, then put that hand at the top position since the weapons swings towards IT.

The question: target range? And did you hit?

your hands are HUGE

Бердыш! Русским духом запахло... Нет... Это от меня)

You and I look similar enough you could be mistaken as my brother

5:00 sad European, doesnt have a real gun....

Excellent 👌 In the future I wanna get a carcass splitter and a bardiche

Made for absolute anti knight carnage

🗿👍

How do you equip those sophisticated pantaloons

how is the bardiche related to the Sovnya?

a trident of a similar size can also be used as a rifle rest which can double up as a melee weapon as well

Nice dagger

Wasnt the livestream out?

That is the most awesome flamberge i have ever set eyes on! 😊 cool man!

There is a minstrel dragon (yup, a dragon) within my series ("Diamond Dragons") named Bardiche. :) And yes, not only does he play music with his magical musical instrument, but it doubles as none other than a bardiche. He's not even one of the primary characters, but his lofty role is essential to the overarching plot of the entire series of six.

Do you think the pronounced hook on the bardiche's axe blade could have possibly been used to try catch and control shields or polearm shafts? Some of your movements made me think of how two-handed swords sometimes portrayed as weapons used to break pike formations. Great dive into the history and fantastic demonstration!

Battle axes are tools for killing people; not chopping into siege equipment, that's a felling axe. If you abuse a battle axe by chopping into wood with it all you will succeed in doing is breaking your axe.

Did I hear your kids in the background? ;) Wonderful!

Hmm... Those axes remind me more of the ones that I saw, when doing research about the Luristan bronze collection (horrible!). A Daneaxe (as you claim it originated from) still is typologically pretty far away from these, you present in the video. Still great exercise.

Your bardiche fit is crazy 🥶

Two bucklers, one Bardiche I'm invincible baby ⚔️

Глаза чуть не сломал, пока не понял что написано "Бердыш".

Perfect as always!

Huh, I always thought that Bardishe is more of a scythe than axe. I.e. large thin and light blade on a pole. At least that is how it is called in easter Europe - its called scythe axe or scythe halbert.

always fun to find a new channel that covers middle age weaponry on my recomended page

Mount&Blade has this weapon. every time I see this thing sticking out of the enemy's formation in a siege, it always scares me out. It can remove shields very effectively.

The berdysh is not an "Eastern European" battle axe. The berdysh is a weapon of the Russian infantry - the Streltsy. You Scandinavians stole it and added the ending "an" to its name: bardis, bardisan. There were no Vikings in the times of Ivan the Terrible - and the Streltsy appeared during these times.

Looking through Polish and Russian pages, it's called berdysz in both languages (berdish, no "a:" sound) Pol: berdysz, Rus: Бердыш (identical to Polish)

4:28 - In Russia of that time streltsy were armed with it not for ceremonial purposes, but because their original equipment was insufficient for proper melee combat, so this axe was added as "upgrade" to improve their capabilities. Not as ceremonial weapon. 5:00 - mostly myth.

One example of use from "The Tale" Avraamy Palitsyn, about the Siege of Troitsky monastery: -"One of them, a certain taxpayer from the village of Molokov, a peasant called Sueta, tall in stature and very strong, who was always laughed at because of his inability to fight, said: "Let me die today, but I will be glorified by everyone!" In his hands he held a weapon, a bardiche. And the God strengthened that Sueta, and gave him fearlessness and courage; and he urged the Orthodox Christians to stop fleeing, saying: "Let us not fear, brothers, the enemies of God, but let us stand firmly with arms against them!" And he struck down the enemies on both sides with his bardiche, holding back the regiment of Alexander Lisovsky; and no one could resist him. He moved quickly, like a lynx, and struck down many of those armed and armored at that time. Many strong warriors stood up against him to avenge the disgrace, and they attacked him cruelly. And Sueta struck down on both sides; Without giving him away, the foot soldiers, having stopped running, fortified themselves behind the obstacles."

Your presentations, going from research to practice, are always simple and FIRST class. I wasnt quite sure though: Was this another historical piece, or a replica? Also, how long does it take to get used to swinging weighty arms like that bardiche, this well? You are doing what might be fairly risky swings and cuts for others, but with complete control lol. I need to see the exercise program for this!

Your content is killer, man. So glad I stumbled upon you. Keep kicking ass.

Btw, usage of this weapon as a stand for early muskets is a myth. It was created later in 18th and 19th century romantic outlook in art that you used. The period documents and training does not support this idea in any way.

It is sad to see how much information you guys are missing out on due to language barrier. There are tomes of research on early and late medieval arms of Russia.

Is there such a thing as eastern europe tho?

Barde heißt das!

It would be possible to improve the spiked rear end on your example by adding a bent disk somewhat like at a ski pole. This would provide slipping protection for the main hand and aid in a more secure stance when using the weapon as a mono pod. Was something like this done?

Awesome getting to see all the moves. I never thought about that hand transfer for overhead swings.

I recently got curious about these axes, informative video and and great demosteations! Quick question, eould you say holding it near the head and thrusting with the back spike is the most "viable" way to use this one handed in a pinch? Thanks for the interesting video

Great vid! Thanks for info
