Finally a weapon that makes more sense against armor. I’ve only seen sword fights that just turn into shield bashes which makes more sense than the sword.
Generally, the knights will have daggers. The sword fight always devolve into a wrestling match. In which case, a dagger is your best friend. It’ll poke through the small openings in the plates.
I agree, the long pollard style fights are always the most entertaining. Yeah it's interesting seeing the different offhand shields people use but not as effective with armor bashing. Would love to see more flails/morning star heavy hitters.
I think it should be like Thai kickboxing where they score takedowns/knockdowns but stand them back up. Wrestling/bjj in armor is just…clunky. 1st round was so awesome. Warriors.
I disagree. The wrestling is the most important part of these fights. Back in the day, these things would always devolve into a wrestling match. What we need is time and money for the talent pool to get better. Then you’ll see some decent scrambles
Car jujitsu aka “when you go in for that kiss as you’re dropping her off after the date and she isn’t interested.” “SEATBELT CHOKE! Ya love to see it Bob!”
It’s going to be really cool seeing how fighters adapt what they’ve seen in video games & movies into the sport. Dude entered the ring and does a Dark Souls move on the first attack I mean, it doesn’t get cooler than that. Well done!
Problem with Armored combat is the stamina. Armors heavy as all hell so those smooth moves be it from games or even actual hema manuals takes a lot of stamina to pull off. So if anything I’m looking forward to when they truly figure out how to train for stamina. Figure that out and we will get more and more of those moves as now they dont have to risk gassing or helmet clogging for a higher level faint, dodge, or attack
Hate to be that guy but I am a huge Meshuggah fan (read: nerd) and that is not a song by them, unfortunately. Tomas, their drummer, has never used a ride cymbal bell like heard at 1:35 in any song. I can see why you thought it was though.
Reality check for you, it wouldn't have been anything like this as the 2 fighters would have been trying to kill each other, with heavier axe heads on shorter handles, swinging straight at the neck or to cut off their 'sword arm'. The armour wouldn't stop a war axe for long & the knights didn't have the time or the energy to play fight like these guys did.
@@kameronhandy1717 Did you read your OWN COMMENT. lmao You actually said "This is kinda cool because it shows how people fought back then." Denial much?
@@TheTubejunky yes, im aware of my comment. I also understand that there is alot more gore. But clearly you didnt understand what i said in my reply. I dont want to see people get maimed. You guys may be into that sort of thing. But i am not.... just because people arent bleeding dying or missing limbs... doesnt mean that these people are not swinging axes and swords at each other with armor on...
If he gets an AXE under the arm-pit ,what happens then ? Subbed-up and now im hooked, WTFreaks !!! 1000's of years of historical battles flashed through my mind...
Getting an axe to the armpit (or any other part of your body that isn't protected by armor) SUUUCKS. I've taken a few hard shots to my armor gaps before and lemme tell ya, it makes me question my life decisions every time 🤣
As book writer of fantasy and medival novels i love that kind of content. Its a good thing to see how fast a human fighter is exhausted or what kind of opening they choose or what kind of counterattack. I think without armor, the first hitter maybe always loses because many counter are direct hits.
Good fight. Stegmeier seemed to have better skills with the weapon, while McCable was better able to wrestle and fight hand to hand. I feel like people often underestimate the importance of grappling in combat like this.
Amazing cinematography and audio only issue is with a bit of the mixing you can't hear the commentators very well over the music at the start.(I don't wanna be rude) Anyhow this is still my new favourite sport
Yes, you are wearing padded cloths under 30-80lbs of armor. The heat a lone is awful. Its not fighting in shorts... the heat will sometimes get you before muscle fatigue. Especially at this pace
