I dont know if its coz of the pants but their stance is elegant af😂😂

I wonder how they really fought in the dark ages. This is all just guesswork and conjecture based partially on Fechtbücher from a thousand years later.

hes very good at english but you can still hear that hes german

7:57 The way he manipulates the shield is awesome, that's how actual vikings did it, they create an opener in the shield then they attack with the tip or blade of the broadsword.

👏👏👏

I learn so much...thank you.

This isn’t how Vikings fought I’m sure, would love to know y’all’s opinions on that though.

it was to protect hand from damage

Show's been over for 3 years and asoiaf books aren't even close to entering into the endgame. Seems like we're only 60% done and I can't even imagine any of anyone's outcomes save for Jon snow.

Are they sure it is a world championship? At least one of them look like a complete novice not managing the distance and not using much footwork or pressure.

Så bra, tack!

Shield foot forward for me.

woah

This guy seriously reminds me of Jamie Lannister's actor. Thankfully without all the arrogance, and the murdering, and the...*other stuff.* Great work!

This got reccomended to me 11 years after...what? :DD I still love my broken The Sims 3 :DD ♥♥

What a physically and intellectually gifted man. An superb presenter.

Awww so cute

This is the type of thing you don't see in movies because the speed and complexity of it just doesn't translate in entertainment value.

Thanks to Colt.

the "Dueling shields" is what Zulu warriors used all the time, but a smaller version

18:25 i need to use this

Fencing suddenly became art, not clubbing.

right before we started talking stances and distance i was thinking a certain someone there could use some boxing fundamentals, foot work and balance..

This guy is an excellent teacher, regards from Chile

For a second I thought he was ended rightly

Western Martial Arts doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.

Great teaching.

extremely fun and intreresting thnx !!

Very informative!

Ok i know i am six years late, but Winds of Winter has yet not come out so: acc to what i understood, i could be wrong please feel free to discuss: I think *Mance Rayder* has been captured by Ramsay and Reek fled with Jeyne to Stannis and there they alert him of the Karstaks. Yes that is to say that Ramsay has not yet fought with Stannis and the letter to Jon is hoax to bring him there to kill him. Can this be correct? Also share your thoughts on other plots too

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.

Why not turn your wrist on a center grip to keep them from manipulating your shield?

SHIELD WALL!!!!

Love this insightful and intuitively switched on accn of Viking age sword and shield. The only missing ingredient is more principle geared POV including 'mindset' governing strategy which was an all important ingredient in the days of yore.

Trust me, they’d love this guy if it was 500 years ago. Learning how to handle a sword was no joke in the Medieval times

You strong man 👍👍🌹

I'm still watching this yearly, even in 2020. It's one of my most favorite videos regarding the correct usage of a round shield and sword. Brilliant lecture, Roland!

I apologise if this has already been said, and I feel cursed I haven’t watched this before. I don’t expect a reply but someone may read and digest this. If you were being fair you’d be pointing out that the majority of sword and shield combat focused on the point and turn. If I’ve turned the point of your sword or pole arm, then you have no Defense. On the inside (your vulnerable lateral axis- be it protected by shield or not) once the point is bypassed you have nothing. You avoid the point entirely. I understand your teaching a treatise, but please address the most potent aspect of sword or spearmanship, it’s tip. In a duel I may not be able to fence properly but I can assure you that people weren’t relying on pull and tear for damage, stabbing is much more efficient, energy and control wise. Much love.

So a left handed person will mess up your theories.

good work, i remember the time, wheen i show you the first basics. axel ucc hamburg

I came up with an idea 100s of years to late. If they would have a steel rod cross peace nearly the length of the shield. that extended about 2 inches in front of the shield ,it would catch a sword or spear ,all would is apply pressure and slide the shield up the shaft, try it great video

this has given me an appreciation for sword and shield techniques. i kinda thought the pair was mostly based in fiction. Im wondering though, why would a sword be wielded at all when there could be spear or blunt weapons? It seems like if both men know how to use a shield and they have plate armor or real good chainmail or compressed layered leather, the sword would not even be the least bit viable if someone had more range or more blunt force.

I AM ENTERTAINED! Like you and you comrades thought process.

Watching lessons like this make me despise movie sword fights.

Who said, real combat dosn't look like a "dance"? Great man, love this! (And helps me a lot) Thx for uploading!
