- This SCA tournament combat is from the Meridies Fall 2015 Crown Tourney finals between Count Adhemar de Rouen and Sir Barthelemy of Illyria.
The winner of this best three-of-five bout will earn the right to become the next sovereign with their consort.
This is a detailed video analysis of competitive medieval recreation combat without choreography. This uses the mobile app "Coach's Eye" to break down shot mechanics, movement, balance, power generation, etc. and provide commentary.
Combat is full-speed, full power with rattan (wooden) weapons. Hands, wrists and legs from the knee-down are not valid targets, and grappling is limited. For more details on combat rules see www.sca.org
Thanks very much to the creator of the review video, originally available here: • Ansteorra Crown 1993 F...
Just for clarification, that was the king at the time, me, who told Sir Barthelemy not to take the shot. From my vantage point I saw the shot strike as the flat of the blade. Barthelemy is an extremely honorable fighter, and not seeing the shot, called it good based upon it striking.
As a highly competitive unbelted fighter, I can tell you that these videos are extremely useful and greatly appreciated.
Hey, very kind of you. Thanks!
Please please please keep doing these. I love your breakdowns. I wish the two of were sitting around watching these over a pint.
I’m so happy to see one of these again! I find it amazingly valuable to see fights of this caliber broken down and slowed down! I often pick up many small things on top of what you go through!
Thank-you!
These videos are great, they are really educational. Please keep them coming.
I really enjoy these. As someone who’s loved this sport for 30ish years, it’s nice to see some technical breakdown. Please keep it up.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I'm so glad you came back with your valuable analysis, Avery Alix. Your videos like this are very inspiring and useful overall. Welcome back!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
@@AveryCloseCall They came from the heart. Hope you stick with us for more teaching ^_^
It's great to see these again! As a Merdian, I can confirm that we do use very light sticks.
shut up nerd
Rude
@@kinglyer5640 love you brother ❤❤❤
@@joshclark3945 of course man!!
Nice break downs.... keep them coming
These are awesome, nothing out there is even close, keep doing them ya fancy ponce!
More videos please!
I'd love to see more videos man
Nicely done. As you can keep the videos going please.
I've seen pretty much every video related to searches for sca heavy combat, and this is the first I'm seeing this fight. And, if memory serves, that goes for a couple other ones you've done. I find these videos invaluable, as my current life situation doesn't really offer me the time to get out to practices, and these make my pell training soooooo much more effective.
Very fun breakdown, thanks!
I have to say your Reviews of the fights are well done and anyone who first witnesses SCA combat should see these fights with the commentary to really understand what is going on.
Thank you very much for the kind encouragement! Do you think these appropriate for a newcomer? I try to keep away from being obtuse or using too specialised language.
@@AveryCloseCall I think they are perfect for a new fighter because your back downs are not too technical to understand.
Bloody marvellous! Thanks for an excellent blow-by-blow analysis!
Glad you make these, takes time to do this and it is appreciated.
Great breakdown, and yes Adhemar used an extremely light shaved rattan sword. He makes up for some hitting force loss with good rotational technique to generate force, allowing his resulting speed to be a killer.
Please keep making videos!
Good stuff!
This was a whole new level of looking at a fight, like beginning to see how much I don't know. Thank you, I really enjoyed this.
Please keep them coming. I appreciate the hours it takes you to edit these. They are a very useful training tool.
Keep making these please.
Thanks for the encouragement, I'll make two more or these videos focused on layering up basics - and if they keep getting good feedback then I'll keep it up!
This was a good fight. Thank you for the analysis.
I love both of these guys! Excellent analysis, I really enjoy your combat reviews.
Great stuff! I'm using this to show non-SCA pals that we do have technique, not just flailing. ;)
Really enjoyed your analysis! Especially regarding their movement, it is so easy to get caught up watching the sword movements that one misses the impressive footwork behind it.
CZcams ads? I do NOT MONETIZE SCA videos. If you're seeing ads thanks to Google's new policy, I apologize. I do not make a penny from these; that's not what they're for.
I love your fight break downs! Please don't stop! These are incredibly informative and they help me with my training!
Adhemar's stance is what is commonly referred to as "The Hanging Guard" for future reference. Great breakdown.
And yea, these are shaved rattan swords.
I wasn't aware of these fight analysis videos! I'm sharing with my local guys. This is awesome!
yup this i think was your best break down . but nicely done
I don't think his sword was broken I think it's just whippy.
Great vids. Keep it up. I know these fighters and I'd say they are fighting with shaved rattan.
A lot of us in Meridies use the lightest sticks we can in tournaments.
We call that guard the iron chicken.
Hey Avery, I love your videos, so it's a "please keep making them!" vote from me :)
It's a combination of a lovely speaking voice, a good technical breakdown, and just the right level of presenting plausible explanations for stuff that looks a bit iffy on film.
The leg shot from Adhemar looks like a straight shot (that turned into a bit of a slap with the flat - I know the same thing happens to me) to me, not a wrap - certainly that is how it settles, knuckles in rather than knuckles out.
Please keep doing these. These videos are incredibly helpful

Your Videos have made me wanna go out and fight again,i was blind and now my eyes are fixed so time to swing some lumber. though i have no gear so time to start over.
Great Analysis! I enjoy these.
Makes me wish I had some good video. I can't break it down this good. I love the impartiality as well.
I love these videos I learn a lot form all of them
Yes, please keep them up Sir!
I love these videos!
WE WANT MORE! Lol
- Are you going to evaluate just top tier fighters, do you think you might analyze fighters who have room for improvement? I'd love to hear what you think of my fighting.
So long as the video is good for analysis, the fights are clean, and it'd be interesting for other fighters besides the ones analysed, I'll look at anyone. I've got some analyses of newer fighters up. However, I don't tend to do personal analyses if it won't be of interest to a wider group as well.
- Calontir's 2019 Crown Tourneys are on CZcams, and the guy who uploaded them I'm sure would be happy to send you the footage. I'll tell you I'm there in the mix, so if you care to watch and you see something worth going over, Calontir would love to see it.
Yes ... Keep doing these :)
