Polearms generally have an advantage over swords especially in open spaces like the area these two are fighting in. Half-swording basically turns polearm vs sword to polearm vs shorter polearm, giving the sword user a better chance than if he didn't half-sword. Kind of.
I do appreciate that the longsword user switched to half-swording to get inside the halberd's guard. A smart change in tactics that appeared to be effective.
The halberdier can backward or change the hands on the staff to change the guard range. Also half-swording mean you reduce the weapon's teach, more difficult to hit the halberdier and easier to be hit before you can get inside his guard range. But in this case, the halberdier not fast enough to adopt the situation.

That's why using a halberd, different from movies and kid's tales, was the most used weapon in the Battlefront along with axes... Long swords used to be backup weapons.
Halbards were cheap to produce and essentially more versatile variants of the spear, designed to be used in large formations. A more apropiate weapon for armored vs armored 1 on 1 fight would be either the poleaxe or its close relative bec du corbin (2hd warhammer).
And that is with a poorly designed halberd. Imagine how lopsided it would have been if he had a properly shaped halberd and he could trap his opponents weapon consistently.
Even with foam weapons and body armor, you can see how afraid they are to get hit. I can only imagine how terrifying it would be on a real battlefield.
They are not afraid of foam hitting them, they are being cautious because they don't want to lose the sparring match since being touched by the weapon counts as a hit.
it's not quite exactly the same as they know they can't get killed in this situation, but in real fight with knights in a battlefield they would probably pump so much adrenaline that they wouldn't even feel open wounds
Why the half swording works: Against the halberd, the reach disadvantage is so severe, that even an extra foot or two makes little difference. However, gripping at the half sword means that he equalizes another great disadvantage which is leverage. Polearms have fantastic leverage advantage, and this helped him to get in close enough to attack.
yep it was simple and effective and didnt recquire much stamina to just poke but dif between spears and swords is a sword verymuch can blunt a spear head if used properly
YO! I got this in my reccomended, and was like, hey that room looks familiar, and then I realized it was en garde fencing in Santa Rosa! That's where I first learned fencing in high school :) CZcams algorithm has brought me home!

Usually halberds have charge attack as a skill, and Gundyr's one is devastating against sword boys with the champion's charge skill, it launches them in the air like paper sheets
That hook in that halberd can be strong against other pole type weapons but it's a weakness against short range weapons. Spears and halberds can usualy be retracted when the opponent tries to get too close but that hook makes it harder to do so. Spears are definitely better than Halberds when it comes to fighting short range weapons. Not that the long sword is a short range weapon lol For real tho. That sword user definitely knew that trapping the halberd with he hook was a good strategy, he kept using it throughout the whole fight.
@@neyhuansikoko1608 Well usually it's a viable strattegy with Halberd, making it deadly when thursted and retracted bbut this hook doesn't look like it would be very effective at that...
@@Tsukinotaku Long sword may not be "short range weapon", but definitely can be used in one hand, so the "swordman" could grab the halberd and easily close in with a blow.
@@Tsukinotaku They would benefit also from the fact that they were very passive when they did have that range. They let the sword user close the distance numerous times instead of pushing the range while they had it.
This is why the Spaniards used bucklers and swords against the Swiss pikemen in the Renaissance! You need something to get rid of that halberd and then use your sword up close
Halberd user should have mixed in more swings. He was becoming predictable with the thrusts. Also pulling the halberd back a bit before thrusting can make an opponent walk into the kill zone. If you just hold it out in front of you and dont change the position or feint, the opponent may get a good read on the range of the weapon. Food for thought
its got its purpose, on a battlefield id prefer its reach and versatility to a sword, but im sure someone better trained than i in sword could show me circumstances it has an advantage. some times i use a screwdriver and others a hammer. you should be familiar with many tools and their uses.
grupa 211 from my understanding (take this with a pinch of salt as I’m hardly a historian) during the 100 years war, the English longbow men actually did use halberds as their secondary weapon.
Even here, in a duel (not the halberds normal environment) you can see demonstrated how it's primarily a thrusting weapon used much like a spear, just with some added cutting and hooking capability.
u can use it has a spear against swords so would be the Halberd. Against Axes the Albert could just act like another long axe to avoid the disadvantage
@@SJMORG naw still axe the staff makes it a disadvantage the whole point of the triangle is axe > spear cause it is short and allows for leverage akin to the guy using halfswording and getting in to finally hit the halberd user halfsword + axe + short swords would apply to this
Nice to see someone doing a mixed weapons spar with two people at relatively the same skill level with the weapons used. Most " x weapon vs y weapon" videos on CZcams show people with very mismatched experience in one or both styles and it gives a bad impression of how weapons really match up. This is realistic I think, longsword should win most of the time.
@@madhatten00 I counted 5 Points to 2 in longswords favor. They're obviously not counting but you see them pause and acknowledge a blow when it's good, those incidental points of contact wouldn't do any damage so I think that's where you're getting confused. Yes, halberds we're very popular on the battlefield but the longsword is a better matchup 1 on 1 for the exact reason you see here... The range advantage is negated after the first engagement. This is what happened exactly. The halberdier won the first with a quick thrust at range while the majority were won off of a bind at close range.
@Antóin Ó Muircheartaigh You... You are aware that they're all polearms right? A poleaxe is as much as a polearm as a peasant's flail, polearms don't make the distinction of what's on the head, only the body of the item.
Do ya figure halfswording might've been a better option for the longswordsman, in order to have better control over the head pf the halberd? From the video, it is pretty clear that the tip heavy halberd keeps pushing the sword out of the way easily as it is being held. From a perspective on torque, wouldn't it make sense to use a halfsword in order to control the head of the halberd then close distance? I really have no idea or experience in this stuff but I welcome thoughts. Just watched the rest of the video, and yeah, he ends up doing way better halfswording lmao
I bet that's what Landsknechts and knights did at the beginning of pike square warfare being the meta, until zweihanders and flamberges were more widely adopted.
If you add in a shield it'd be no contest. Though longswords aren't designed for sword and shield, they're meant for two-handing. He'd have to switch to a bastard sword or arming sword.
See. The halberd has a few tricks for that. Namely, using the counterweight. That’s usually studded or spiked so that if someone tries something ballsy like that, you use your leverage to get them to smack themselves in the helmet.
@@thesquishedelf1301 You are completely right. I can only hope he is not experienced enough to stand his ground and act straight after a shock-tactic like that, otherwise RIP me 😛😂. Polearm Vs Sword is already such a disadvantaged encounter honestly.
In addition to being greatly superior weapons in general while fighting, the halberd is also waaaay easier to use than the longsword. That means you get tripped up more at lower skill levels like this.
One of the big things though was the Halberd user also kept running into that half sword strike. Better to back off and poke passively at the range they just gave you.
The best Thing you could do in Case of the swordsman is to wait for a gap in the defense of the halbadier and Rush in as fast as you could to Close down distance.
Longstaff vs Shortstaff. Honestly the weight and wield of the actual weapons dictated its entire application. It can be foam sure, but weight must be added (3.5 KG halberd head/1.5KG Longsword) to the historically relevant areas for play weapons to actually be called one thing or another.
We do combat with a heavy rubber tipped polearm and a steel poleaxe aswell as with a swiss halberd.Its real fun.You only need to drop the heavy weapon without much force and it delivers a concussive blow.We used armour of course.With standard hema gear it would have caused quite the headache.
This just goes to show even if the longsword user is more skilled the halbred is easier to use because of the range simple use for new people, but in the end the better weapon wins
@@bilinmeyen3391 Oh 100%. It has alot more reach and everything about it is better than a sword, but you missed my point. What im saying is if you gave a skilled swordsmen a sword and a peasant / non trained person a halberd, most likely the halberd will still win and the swordsmen is going to have to work alot harder to defeat the halberd user because of the superior weapon design. Theres a reason these weapons dominated history

They seem to be subconsciously following the rules of the lines on the floor, which exacerbates the disadvantage for the sword.
but are they weighted properly?

What im saying is if you gave a skilled swordsmen a sword and a peasant / non trained person a halberd, most likely the halberd will still win and the swordsmen is going to have to work alot harder to defeat the halberd user because of the superior weapon design. Theres a reason these weapons dominated history
