The sword fight between Basil Rathbone (a sword master as well as an actor, best known for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes) and Tyrone Power, from the 1940 film 'The Mark of Zorro', knocks the Princess Bride into a cocked hat. Sword fighting has been in films from the silent days, yet this guy just concentrates on relatively recent films, so it's hardly a good assessment of sword-fighting in films.

I remember in practice always hearing about a kill timer. Essentially when two fighters enter each other's weapon range, there is a kill timer. It's up to you as the fighter to dictate how long that timer is and whether or not you'd pull out of that range to reassess the situation.

There is a significance with the fencing scene in Princess Bride which very few people know: That scene is one of the main reasons why Anders Linnard, a very influential and early person in the HEMA community, started fencing many years ago. I claim that the HEMA community would have been what it is today without this scene.

@@armorfrogentertainment the difference isn't the force, it's the leverage. With a one-handed sword, you've only got one hand to control both the fulcrum and the tip of the blade. Even with a very well-balanced weapon, you are very limited in where you can move your blade and how quickly you can place it there. A two-handed blade literally adds another dimension of control, by giving you a forward hand to control the fulcrum or balance of the blade, and a back hand to control the tip. It completely opens up new possibilities for moving with the blade, new angles to attack from, etc. The trade-off is that two handed weapons have less effective range than a one-handed weapon of the same length, because you need to keep your body relatively square to keep both hands on the grip. A one-handed blade user can lunge and extend their entire arm with an attack, easily giving them two or three times as much range as someone keeping both hands on their sword. Hence why most one-handed blades are specialized for stabbing, to take advantage of their biggest strength.

The keyword: pirouette Sapkowski did a great job at explaining Geralt's advantage being how he moves, and how inhumanely quick he can be whilst doing it. He usually makes half spins that just suprises his opponents, gets through multiple enemies with his extreme agility, getting then in their backs or flanks

All the best fight scenes are about the story and the characters more than the fight itself. Anyone can ask an expert to choreograph a fancy 10 minute duel, but great filmmakers realise it's another opportunity to tell us about how a character thinks and what their relationship with the other characters is. Take Star Wars for example. The Anakin vs Obi-Wan fight is long and complex, and spectacular... but the most interesting parts are when they're sizing each other up at the start, and the end when Obi Wan is expressing his grief as Anakin burns. You could cut most of the middle part out and it would be the same scene. Compare that to Luke and Vader in RotJ, where every moment is dripping with character drama.

My regular fencing club neighboured the Longsword Academy, and one night I met him on the tube and could just tell this guy was from the academy, because of those red and black pants and his bag of swords. Such a nice guy. He saw I was super-interested and at our stop he opened his bag and showed me all the swords at the station.

Thank-you for the reviews.

I'm generally pretty forgiving with the Witcher specifically, because especially in the games, there was a real effort to make NPCs fight in a historically accurate manner. Geralt is a superhuman and his fighting style is designed to fight monsters. He outclasses any regular human by a massive metric. He can afford to use techniques that would get normal swordsmen killed. In the Blaviken fight in particular, I always saw it as Geralt having complete contempt for the men he's fighting. He's basically saying, "I'm so far beyond your level that I can beat you all easily while backhanding my sword."

The Princess Bride fight scene between Inigo and the Dread Pirate Roberts is just perfection, and for exactly the reason this guy said. It's furthering the narrative all while having a fantastic sword fight. Until the end, they're both taking the swordplay entirely seriously without really seeming to be put out by it. In Game of Thrones, my favorite part of the Hound's fights isn't how he uses the sword so much as how to he's always ready to deliver a gauntleted fist to the face when the distance closes. He's a huge strong warrior and he's going to use that strength to his advantage as much as possible, and that includes knocking someone's teeth in.
