@@Mysterious.Entity Well they could if they were actually trying to kill one another. Polearms were used specifically because even the greatest helmet and armor isn't going to completely stop the concussive blows from heavier weapons. You hit someone in the head enough times, even with a helmet on it's going to have unpleasant results for the victim. Hell you manage to get a good strike at the clavicle (that juncture between the neck and shoulder that's typically protected by mail rather than plate so as to allow for flexibility) and you could break it - broken clavicle means they drop their weapon and the fight's over.

I love how primal these look. When they get stuck together, they look like mule deer locking antlers pushing and flexing. The kicks and punchs haveing not been born from any form or technique, more so thrown to see what they will do. Once they fall to the ground and he drops his glove to reach for his dagger, it reminds me of hockey how the players drop gloves to bare knuckle box out pure emotion. These fights feel real and charged with emtion, like two rivals clashing opposed to athletes competing.

@@GunShocka I still disagree. During the throw, his left arm is left behind, which makes his leverage much weaker independently on whether he is pushing his opponent's chest, neck, arm or polearm. His left arm should be aligned with his shoulder and torso, regardless of where the leverage point is. This is a common mistake by people who are not experienced in throws. He's also making a left-handed throw. Maybe he is experienced but right-handed. Even experienced right-handed people struggle with left-handed throws sometimes.

@GunShocka

@@cfban I think you missed the part that they have their weapons locked. His left arm stayed in the lock to guarentee that his opponent cannot free his weapon. Also this throw is perfect for HEMA cause you are thinking of a throw from the perspective of fighting as using a throw as a main form of comabat. Most HEMA throws are done in a way that look incomplete since they are worried about a weapon. He ensured the weapon stayed locked until he got him to the ground where it would be virtually rendered useless. I am familiar with throws but i also am familiar with using leverage of a staff to throw people and if you are trying to prevent the use of one you have to modify it a bit. Throw in hot and weighty armor and you arent gonna be doing throws textbook. Hence, why i say his throw was perfect for this exact circumstance

You and the men you fight really are SO far ahead in actual technical skill than anyone else ive seen in armored combat.

Hollywood has given us such a warped perspective of battle. It was much slower in real life. No masses just crashing into each other, they fought in tight formations holding a steady line.

Thanks for demonstrating how actual combat with medieval arms and armoury played out. I think there isn't enough demonstration for such things in the modern media, to see how most fights are resolved with wrestling and brawling till one side gets subdued and gets stabbed in the gaps within their armor.

Especially in life or death situations. Humans are naturally grapplers, our hands and muscles are designed to help us hold stuff for long periods of time very tightly. Sure we can get good at throwing punches and kicks but our biology really shines when it comes to grappling. Something even untrained people do instinctively in fights is to try and restrain the opponent by grabbing their arms or legs while trying to push them over, its instinctual and highly effective against people who might not know how to slip or reverse.

Grippers ​@@titanmasterxd6329

Through videogames and movies, which are stylized, we forget that back then every single fight was life or death. You got a thousand 1v1 fights happening where it is almost guaranteed that half of those will lose their lives that day. There is no "ah I lost this one, so I'll come back since I know how to beat him now" - it was just one chance, every time. It's almost surreal to imagine

You have the best HEMA channel out there. You are waking people up to reality.

Polearm is technically the most versatile medieval weapon since it deals slashing, piercing and bludgeoning damage

Your leg take down was awesome and that other knight was very smart in protecting from the full mount by pinning your leg and then using the dagger to turn the tables. You are both clearly very skilled

The editing cut from the first fight to the second is magnificent. The man wearing the sallet thrust and you can see the other person going for an active parry with the back end of the poleaxe.
