Re: Wrestling in Armor - A vid for you low-tech guys
I didn't get any of the tippy tag vibe from those kohutovic vids at all. In fact, it felt TOO well versed if anything, with a bit much over-intent.
And having worked with feather swords, I can tell you light bruising is NOT the only thing we worry about. Sprains and broken fingers are very common. I was struck on the head (wearing a mask even) at just under the speed they were practicing at and saw stars. Edges can get nicks during play and act as saws. The threshold between a bruise on the side of my knee and me being unable to fence for some time is quite small. M. |

Probably a case of YMMV. Using those after a padded hockey stick style padded waster, those are nowhere near as damaging, in my experience.

Good mixed vid, though those guys suffer the same footwork problem I do :D

And to add to the pile here's an interesting talk about fighting from horseback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baC6iWFxDwY
And here's a somewhat comical demonstration of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLiVI3U65HY

Night of the living thread
Also here's a bout between a rapier and longsword http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r7VWIQCHvM
I though it worth including since there's been a few debates about the topic around the forums and I figured it might, possibly, maybe, help, a little.
