GREATSWORD BATTLE
Ойын-сауық
A greatsword melee duel between Arlon (black) with his grand falchion and me (red) with my executioner sword. I think I was done before this one started, but that's no credit leaving him - he usually beat me almost every single time.
The sport is called buhurt, or armored combat, where we fight as knights did during medieval tournaments in armor. This is different from HEMA and fencing, there's a different art to it. Not the same as a battle like, lets say England vs France in the medieval times, but like a tournament held instead in medieval times where people still wanted to go home afterwards.

Well, you've got moments like 0:40 where red hit black in the head. In the movies that would be a kill shot. But in this case it didn't even slow black down. So, is it because these weapons are dull? Or did medieval knights just not bother bashing each other in armor (since it seems to be nearly irrelevant compared to the wrestling)?

@@cra2cra226plate armour, combined with a large amount of padding, is enough to make most weapons really ineffective. You generally wouldn't even want to kill a knight, since capturing one alive could give you a LOT of ransom money, but if you had to, you'd do so by wrestling him to the ground and stabbing the gaps with a dagger. Full plate was prohibitively expensive for everyone but the very richest though, so encounters like these would be uncommon

@@joeymadara7266 Knights wouldn't be doing that mate, not often, they'd be riding down peasants or other lightly/unarmored enemy infantry or archers whilst their own archers did the bulk of the work. Platemail basically made you a tank, and it was very difficult to deal with for any enemy who was not able to afford the correct weaponry or sufficient armor. Honestly, you could be completely mediocre but in plate and fight the best swordsman in the world who had no armor, and you'd probably win. Why? Because it's really fucking hard for them to actually hurt you seriously meaning, but it will only take a single decent strike to put them down, you can just intentionally bait hits and respond among other tactics. We automated warfare, as we did with everything, but actual live combat isn't something to idolize mate, it's a disgusting practice that only causes suffering to everyone involved. The enemy dies or is crippled and your own soldiers are permanently scarred. Why would you ever want to fight up close when you can minimize risk anyway? That's literally the same methodology behind plate, keeping the user as safe as possible and minimizing risks.
Great battle! New fan here!

I am fairly sure that's a two handed falchion; but it's difficult to tell because often the only real difference between the two is the handle. This one seems to have a round leather grip with an actual pommel, a proper sword's handle; whereas a messer would have a wooden knife-like handle with a simple metal cap as a pommel. As for the blade, there is a considerable overlap between falchion blades and messer blades, so it's not so easy to tell the difference at first glance.

So Im fully aware that using swords is mostly for the sport and dont do much against the plate, but Im wondering, with swords this size or even bigger, how much blunt force do you feel when getting hit over the head and do you think you could get knocked out if unlucky enough? Awesome swords btw, both the executioner style pointless chopper, as well as the mean looking super-gross messer.

Something I’ve been curious about is the armour you wear. It looks so much bulkier than the museum pieces I’ve seen and the recreations some other armoured fencers wear. Is that just because you guys are bulkier than them or is the aim here less to create exactly historically accurate recreations and more to ensure the wearer’s safety at all costs?

I’ve noticed watching a lot of your videos that you tend to guard a little high. It works out for you most of the time bc you are noticeably physically stronger a lot of other guys and you can overhead through their guard and take a commanding control of the fight. But guys like this one who are a little closer to your strength but are really good at parrying will be able to get in really close on you a lot and destabilize your swing/sword and do some damage while you recover your position. Good show man!
