I'm a 29 years old HEMA instructor and sword performer from Poland. I've been fencing since I was 12, evolving through sport fencing, polish saber, kenjutsu, to finally settle on renaissance german longsword (go Team Meyer!).
I do blacksmithing for a living. Feel free to check out my crafts at:

Now go throw some cuts!
#reaction #got #gameofthrones
I can't get over how depressed you look every time they start swinging, oof.
Just the whispered "oh my fucking god" hits the nail right on the head doesn't it.
@@Zappygunshot bro was so depressed he stopped youtube all together after this💀
"Properly brutal" is my new favorite term.
Can you try make your own cleganebowl? I mean maybe you can find some massive bodybuilder and show how it could me done. It would be wery interesting to see a properly choreographed version!
I've been looking for a massive guy like that since last week, but Hafthor is really huge and it might be hard to find someone of his size.
Maybe you can make fight between the biggest and the smallest you find and play on the size difference? Then you will probably need to make an illusion of size for the big guy, like you could give him a regular sized sword in shape of zweihander etc.
@@TheSwordsPathChannel Actually with an opportunity given I would also like to say that your content is one of the best on the theme I could find on CZcams and I watch your videos with great pleasure and interest. Really well done and thank you for the content!
So how big is a fullthor?
@@TheSwordsPathChannel yeah show us!
Geralt does not approve of the fight Clegane brothers!
What the fuck is Kligan
@@Dionyboz sorry, Clegane brothers.
Honestly, I feel that your explanation of the terrible initial choreography further gives evidence to the notion that they just really wanted this series to be done and quickly. Detail on the main subject is fine but these guys used to be known for quality on secondary tasks as well and its sad.
Fighting was never good in game of thrones.
I get what you mean but fight scenes were always silly in got
To be fair to the Hound, every other time he slashed at someone's armor they just died anyway so he could probably be forgiven for chopping at the Mountain's plate armor.
Armour is a lie, unless it's plot armour ;)
He is not fighting any random knight! He is fighting the mountain! The most terrifying warrior and gigantic person there is, and that is his older brother in which he knows what the mountain is fully capable of and has fought him before in season 1 episode 3 or 4
I hate how people in heavy armor always die in 1 blow in this series and frankly every other tv series - they show blades cutting into plate armor like it was made of paper when in reality 99% of the time the blade would deflect off harmlessly on plate armor. They need to show the blade finding a weak joint, but they always just make it cut into the goddamn chest plate.. drives me nuts, its basically close to impossible. Or, give your characters maces / hammers because those would still kill a man in plate armor.
Couldn't agree more
@@Hathur RIP Jorah Mormont, died from rusty spoon thru the plate armor. The really sad thing is in earlier in GOT Jorah demonstrates the effectiveness of his armor against the dothraki...
Jacky Chan is on record explaining he does usually not cut into the fights. He just puts the camera there, wide-angle, and then he and his pals show their skills. The only case where he cuts is to emphasise hits: wide angle, the hit lands; cut, close angle; the hit land again (very short series of frame); back to wide angle again.
I just watched John Wick 3 yesterday, maybe that's why GoT seemed so incredibly bad.
@@TheSwordsPathChannel Ah, I was wondering when you mentioned John Wick ;-)
@@TheSwordsPathChannel Say what you want about Keanu but he is pretty damn good at action and Gun-Fu scenes.
The mountain had the high ground, he should have won that instantly!
You underestimate the hound's power! XD
Wolf . . . He was able to see through the lies of the Lannister’s xd
What even is armor?
i love CZcams.. i forget about this channel for maybe 18 months or so and then here i am again rewatching some of your videos.. always and still is entertaining content
Kinda random.
But you should do a witcher 3 let's play. Dont have to post often but I'd enjoy watching you play though it.
The only W3 playthrough i'd watch!
dude, it would be sick if you would do some more sword kata/form videos. swords make cardio fun........
That introduction made me jealous as fuck! That's so cool! Welcome back Allan. We missed u
Maybe the Jamie vs Eurob slapfest
That was the shittiest fucking fight
How to do a sword fight, Game of Thrones style:
1. Zoom in extremely close on the characters so you can't actually see what they are doing.
2. Have them swing the sword around a bit.
3. Put other characters between the camera and the actor so you can't see what he's doing.
4. Jump cuts. Lots and lots of jump cuts.
5. Add metal clanging sounds
6. Get a wide shot to show dead bodies surrounding character.
You should do more martial arts longsword tutorials! It's my main weapon to fight and would love to know more.
Ok, you are the first to actually acknowledge the good and the bad during a fight scene, and actually praise it, while pointing out what's wrong or what didn't work. Also, i'm only 5:34 minutes in, but the reason they [the kingsguard] didn't hold up against the Hound is because of something some character who's name I don't remember said a while back. Talking about how the Hound could cut through 5 kingsguard like carving a cake. but great video! huge fan of Sword's Path! Any chance you could do something about Miyamoto Musashi's sword techniques later?
The weird thing is that in the first season we actually see plate armour work - especially in the fight between Jorah and the Dothraki guy. Edit: Would be cool if you could could review that fight :D
you should analyze the hound vs beric, as a comparison
I love your work!! Great skills, cool analysis of movie fights, just all around on point.
Love your accent too.
Euron vs Yara and the Sand Snakes next? it's unusual to have a fight scene with different weapons, with battle axe vs bastard sword, spear and whip and dagger
Yeah... I agree with Alan. Staircase? Rly? How was that suppose to work? Hound vs Brienne of Tarth was much, much better. Overall in 8 seasons and 9 years of running we did not get a lot of good swordplay.
The staircase could have been a very interesting area for a fight if the choreography was better. If Andorea had did this, it would have been good.
The "tor di spada lo sovrano" move is also (poorly) depicted in "the revenge of the sith". Anakin uses it to cut Dooku's hands in the introductory battle. Maybe that's where the choreographers took the inspiration...
Well, Alan, you've done a react video.
You've finally hit 'fuck it'.
It would have been fine if they had actually showed the cuts hitting vital areas in the gaps between the armor. But they didnt and instead it looks nonsensical. They could have even had the same fight with the same choreografy if only the hound had used a valyrian steel sword.
The amount of cuts ruined the fight for me.
I dreamed of it, you did it. This is a good weekend!
Fffffffffuck yes! I was hoping you'll do this!
Oh yeah damn so hype, hyyyyyypppeee train here i go , so cool , hell yeah , fuck yeah fffffuuuuuck, so badass and brutal . Thats what i like.
No sarcasm
I dont understand why Hollywood doesnt hire you as an instructor
From what I was able to tell, the Kingsguard/Queensguard mobs were dispatched with slashes to the neck/throat... so is the 2nd or 3rd blow towards the Mountain, before he flew his helmet off.
Hits to the neck, under the helmet, seem somewhat plausible to me.
I rather enjoy the last cut Sandor throws at the last kingsguard though. He just bashes the sword and manages to hit him anyway.
About Rory save your comments, he is a splendid and wonderful actor and he has proven it in so many fantastic scenes with swords, axes, or only with his strength. I agree with your comments about bad choreography and editing. But Rory did an splendid job here he was fantastic and epic as Sandor Clegane, the best! So... respect Rory, or I'll kill you with a chicken bone
Remember the fight between them from the first season? Remember the fight about some chickens? I doubt Rory McCann does not know how to fight...
More like that the stunt coordinator did not tell him what he was meant to do, disarming the moutain and that apart from that he is likely not used to fight in situations like this (uphill on a stair I can imagine would be much more difficult, even with enough space to swing a sword).
So, the Hound can put a sword through plate armor when stressed enough. It happened in his duel with Berric Dondarrion who was swinging a flaming sword around, causing The Hound to panic swing so hard he cut through Berric's sword and Berric's plate, but was exhausted afterwards. The same thing happens here. The Hound shoves his sword through The Mountain's nearly impossible plate armor and is exhausted afterwards.
WiserOdin 032402 Berric isn’t wearing plate tho
3:40 yeah, my biggest issue with this fight is that they clearly didnt have enough time to choreograph this fight but that isnt strictly a big problem if they just held some of the better shots longer to let the impact hit...but no, they tried to edit the hell out of it and use every single shot annoyingly
That murderstroke to the balls though in the choreograph segment owo
Good videos. I hope you get offers from big movie producers
Action was never the strong point of GOT. That goes both for individual fights and large scale battles.
No excuse ass is ass. You right most shit is ass in game of dissapointment save for a few
While I agree with you, we both know that the strongest points of GoT are nowhere to be seen in later seasons, so one would think they have *something* to compensate for it. Like action scenes, which they bragged about in every interview. Right?!
alanch90 look at the Hound vs Brienne - that’s an amazing fight
Hahaha, uwielbiam Twoje przerażenie i grymas poczucia żałośnie kiedy to oglądałeś xD
Correction: It wasn't the point of his arc to get revenge. Actually it was the opposite. Letting go. One more reason why the last episodes brutally raped every character.
Do the fight scene with General Kael and Madmardigan!!!
I mean the Kingsguard that Cersei has left at this point are probably really not that great. We don‘t learn a lot about them in the series, but in the book it‘s very clear that most of the decent guys the Lannisters inherited from Robert are pretty much gone.
And it should be noted that Barristan Selmy thought even they were shit, presumably with the exception of Jaime who wasn‘t present when he remarked he could „cut through them like cake“, even though he was already an old man and far from his prime.
But most of those Kingsguards die in the course of the series:
Barristan and Jaime are out
Mandon Moore, whom Jaime considered to be the most dangerous of the Bunch is killed at the Blackwater
Trant is dead in the series
Preston Greenfield is killed by a mob
Arys Oakheart is sent to Dorne and subsequently dies
Boros Blount is possibly alive but probably ill
A lot of the replacements brought in are less than stellar, while Sandor obviously bails.
So by the end of the series, Cersei would be left with people like the Kettleblacks, who are probably shit. She only promoted them for loyalty although they are probably spies for Baelish. So yeah.
The available cadre are clearly not great and it would make sense that Cersei is left with bad fighters in the end, especially given that whom she can even trust is definitely an issue for her.
So yeah, it makes sense that it‘s gonna be Gregor and a bunch of useless statists who Sandor dispatches immediately before taking on his brother.
always enjoyed your video. keep up the good work. btw pls make more longsword tutorial...
we have the same headphones
Since they cut every scene 5 times i think it means the actor isnt capable of learning how to swing a fucking sword properly. Or didnt have time to properly train for this choreography. But to be honest, after 9 years of filming this show, all actors should have been experts by now. This outcome is embarassing.
Perhaps they had a more complicated choreography in mind but those actors couldnt do shit, so they made it way more simple and plain stupid.
The Hound slashing plate armor like tin, they are trying to show you how strong he is. Both Gregor and Sandor Clegain are not only one of the best fighters in Westeros, but also one of the strongest.
Hey, SP. Outside of swordsmanship, do you think you'd like to cover medieval/witcher practices such as meditation?
13:21
Не в силах выдержать несовершенство мира закрыл я очи
I think they have a problem with editing. Not only during the fight scenes, but dammit, the fall through this wall in the end has 6 cuts.
Yeah he didn't do the disarming like they did in your examples. But i would like to see the people in your examples try to disarm a 7 foot 300 pound giant
I would love to see you react to the final sword fight in episode 1 of the witcher netflix series, i thought that was amazingly well choregraphed and would love to hear your thoughts.
tbh if there still is one good thing in got, it is the soundtrack
Where did you go?
The audio volume between the clip and your talking is kinda annoying, maybe up the clips volume a tiny bit next time? Rest is great :)
Great content! Would be really nice to hear your input on other Game of Thrones fights - such as the Arthur Dayne vs Ned Stark and company.
Beter not to touch that fight
Nimrod Korda Snapjelly,another CZcamsr and choreographer actually did a review of that fight
can you make a review of the armors and weapons of the show
Maybe i'm being dumb but how could the hound use the Mordhau murder-stroke or half-sword when hes not wearing any kind of hand protection (gloves, gauntlets ect,) ?
It's all in the grip my friend, a blade can only cut you if it moves along the skin, when gripped correctly the blade will not move.
czcams.com/video/vwuQPfvSSlo/video.html
What wonders me the most is- did Hound get e=his eyes smashed or not? I believe I still saw his eyes in correct place and he wouldn't push him so accurately while blind. On the other hand, he had thumbs in eye sockets
I think they were still mostly functional because we saw him looking directly at the mountain
Żadnym ekspertem nie jestem ale jeśli chodzi o samą technikę to ciekawsza i lepsza była moim zdaniem walka w karczmie w Sezonie 4 gdzie Ogar z Aryą zabijają Pollivera i kilku innych żołnierzy Lannisterów. Brutalny styl taki jakiego Ci tutaj brakowało, dużo kopniaków, uderzeń, popchnięć. Jeśli chodzi o walkę tutaj to też dziwiłem się dlaczego Ogar tak wymachuje tym mieczem jak szalony. Ale przynajmniej końcówka super. Pozdrawiam
He's the only one who can defeat Thanos 2 times in 1 minute
>odpal video
>usłysz coś po polsku
>wait a minute
Eh, you know, D&D wanted to move on to other projects and you can tell. 🤷♀️
Next famous video. Thank you for this. Ask ,from what country are you?
He's from Poland
I don't get why they don't just hire a Hema instructor? Seriously, they would save so much time, and therefore money, that way. Most of all, they would dramatically improve the scenes. Does the director feel to selfish and arrogant and want to take all the credit for everything for himself or what? It's not hard to find a Hema instructor in California.
He pushes Gregor into fire after he takes Sandors toy.
You should react to Spartacus vs Gannicus!
Great videos! If you do a video of prince oberyn fighting style, I love you :)))
Maybe a take on Mordhau(the game I mean)
I have developed an interest in HEMA and, I was looking for some reading recommendations for beginners?
Wiktenauer has a lot of good stuff.
I am not an expert... but I have studied a little about swordmanship... And not at the depth of @The Sord's Path I did not like the swordfight for unrealistic.
Thanks for explaining all the why's.
Great Video
13:50
My only question is - why ram him when you can kick him?
Wqtch the fight between Jaime and Euron
Wołodyjowski and Kmicic, in 'Potop'?
I have seen Russian channel with the same name (only in russian) and they are using content from your channel so I was wondering
if it is with your permission? Do search for "путь меча"
Mate are you not the one who claims to make swords and then never makes them when people give you a down payment? See a lot about you on the Hema fb pages
I've had some huge delay due to hospitalization and trouble at the heat-treating company (one of my batches got botched, couldn't get them to redo it), but I keep making swords as fast as I can - without sacrificing quality. I will deliver. To each and every one customer.
The reason for down payment is, I simply had people pay 1/3rd or half, get the sword then vanish. :(
Maybe film abaut Jaime vs Euron?
Are you Polish?
(Andrzej wchodzisz)
Thanks for spending ur valuable time on this trash season and lame swordfight.
Well, urother videos are more important for us. I enjoy ur channel. Respect from USA
from a cinematography standpoint it was great, some amazing visual story telling this season but people just pick it apart because the script has clearly been a little over condensed and they didnt have time to choreograph smaller scale conflicts
All these damn edits and cuts is annoying and hard to figure out exactly what they are doin. Smh
Cory hasn't had issues with fighting moves before just saying
I would assume they had a lack of time to learn and film the scene
Didn't like the fight when I watched it the first time, nor the second time. Finally found your clip, a propper therapy clip.
There was nothing interesting in the fight. It was just the most common blockbuster fight tropes stitched together.
prawda jest taka że odcinki w tym sezonie były pisane na kolanie i wyszła sraka opakowana w srebro. zajebali grę o tron, tak jak zjebano dextera pod koniec
Ахахаахха..правда была такая, что ктото там в том сезоне писали на колене , почти расшифровал
Siema siema :)
you are changing accents every minute its so confusing
english is not his native language so changing accent happens
i honestly thought it was a goth girl when i saw the video
#SwordspathReacts
Wasn't that great but it was the only scene that was decent out of that shitshow. Got Season 1-7> Season 8
I can’t understand, where you are from? U have Russian акцент
He's from Poland
it isn't russian akcent
Ok, probably, you’re right, ty
So many "experts"...so many opinions...
Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.
Lamest Cleganebowl.
