Learn hot to go up against an opponent using Short Sword and Strap Shield. By Baron Lord Dassureth Redfury Music From CZcams Audio Library Parasail by Silent Partner
it's funny, because that was an Axe attacks techniques, not a Sword, historically sword fights were using stabbing attacks from above opponents shield to their head or neck.
Hey guys love the video it helps a lot I've had to pick a lot of brains for technical advice as a fighter so any information is helpful even just watching you guys go at it is great BTW anyone in Jacksonville FL I'm part of a new group that's trying to grow so if your interested reply and let's get in contact happy to fight with you
as a staff fighter, this is a life saver. I would allways try to go for the leg shot by pointing the tip towrds them and swinging the backeng around to catch there ankles, but once they were down, they just sit there and hide all shots from me. should I try and push them while they are down or wait for them take an attack or what. Someone please help me!!!!. This is the one class of fighters I dont know how to fight
Dual wielding is useless if you don't attack from different angles at the same time, use them with different timing or wait to parry and strike simultaneously
In real life, go for the legs. Or do a repeated powerful back kick, just overpower a shield fighter. Not that difficult. Go and grab his shield out of his hand lol. Not difficult.
he took a leg shot in amtgard your hit in the leg you lose the use of it . by dropping to your knees your hit leg to the front is not allowable target, by stay up or posting as it called both your legs are allowable to be hit the loss of 2 limbs counts as a kill. dropping is very smart as a fighter to protect your legs that left and to present a smaller target kasrats
Taking a knee on a hard surface can be absolute murder on the knees. Also bare in mind crotch shots are legal in Amtgard, so a cup isn't a bad idea either.
When the leg is hit, the player is required to take a knee to simulate the effects of a wounded leg. Taking a knee on hard surfaces can damage cartilage, so it is advisable to wear knee pads.
Are you asking the size being used or adding that it's another thing you should look at? I agree it's useful to make the observation when analyzing them.
@@Dogman90980 cant you just start by kneeling on the ground then if its so good (Im not an SCA fighter btw, if you cant tell by the comment already haha)
+Rosco Jenkins I wear sunglasses when i fight too. it hides your tales. when people fight they tend to subconsciously look at the location they plan to strike at.
not sure what makes you think that. I believe he's 50-55 years old and has a blackbelt in a couple different martial arts and has trained in martial arts for a long time. He's fairly new to Amtgard though.
I feel i should clarify, I was trying to be a funny, he kept interrupting the instructor by always doing something, instead of just waiting and being an example. (if the instructor said swing low then he could swing low) he just seemed jittery and all over the place
yeah this is how people fought lol. all you had to do is pat your opponent on the shoulder with the tip of your sword and BAAM! masive trauma hemoraging and limb loss. that why they are swinging so fast? like they are playing nintendo wi. even if he didnt wear any kind of armor you would still need to build some force into the swing, and im talking about swinging your sword not quickly tap the tip against the enemy as fast as you can.
Actually in longsword fighting you can pivot both hands(one near the cross guard and the other near the pommel) to make quick snaps which are just as lethal, and no build up swing is required

Utter Bullshit.

You can hear my camera clicking haha.
Why does he keep going to his knees, surely thats just giving away a mobility advantage?

that's an awful lot of protection you're wearing for padded weapons. 😁

What is the sword length and sheild size?

"I don't condone leg shots" this is why you will never be very good.
If you leg shot someone with a shield there going to turtle hard my man this is coming from a sword and board user

Where is this group based?
we are based in Edmonton AB
You don't condone leg shots?? Hey man all is fair in love & war...
Why's that dude wearing sun glasses in a gym?
+Rosco Jenkins I wear sunglasses when i fight too. it hides your tales. when people fight they tend to subconsciously look at the location they plan to strike at.
Maybe he's blind
Lots of reasons- Matt makes a good point- but it could just be camera-shy.
Cause he’s awesome!
is the dude with the pole got a severe case of ADHD or what?
not sure what makes you think that. I believe he's 50-55 years old and has a blackbelt in a couple different martial arts and has trained in martial arts for a long time. He's fairly new to Amtgard though.
It's called skirmishing. Harass the enemy into making risky moves while testing defenses and making openings
i will say the fighting styl for amtgard is soooo different then real steal
Indeed! Foam fighting is it's own form of fighting much closer to stick fighting than live steel.

What is the point of this post?

Well it never claimed to be simulating reality.
However it you took a graze in the old times you might as well be dead anyway
girl is sluffing
That's not very likely.
