The fact this is non-choreographed tells us how much skill, power and persistence you can gain and how good you can get at sabre. Just truly fantastic.
I did 5 years of Olympic saber training and many years of historical fencing as well. And Dennis Thieme, he is the fucking German national champion. But even than it is to dangerous to do this often!
@@oper80 dude you got the wrong understanding when I said his the real deal, what I really meant is that he is legit he made his armor he fights with his armor, what his doing is legit unlike those other cosplayers.
Let the naysayers say what they will about your lack of safety in dueling without armor: you’re both consenting adults recreating something absolutely badass, and it’s the kind of performance that you’d only get with some kind of real risk. Cheers to you both, good sirs!
It helps that they seem to be intentionally avoiding thrusts to the face, with the one neck/jaw hit being the closest strike to being dangerous. A blunt sabre (or any other 'light' slashing weapon), using proper technique, skill and semi restricted attacks, is probably one of the 'safest' unarmoured full contact fights you can have, most other weapons are either too heavy in the blade or have too fine a point (even rapier safety caps/tips somewhat) to be used for full force non-choreographed fights, untrained people are incapable of keeping each other safe, while well trained people are so skilled their hits become inherently dangerous, that is to say, even a blunt arming sword hitting your arm or chest with full force will more than just hurt, not to mention hitting the head, hands or another weak area, rapiers and other thrusting weapons, regardless of any realistic safely devices, can easily cripple or at least hospitalize someone with an unlucky or negligent attack. This is why choreography is basically mandatory for stuff like this (in media), it removes a lot of the randomness and therefore danger, at the cost of making the fights obviously slower paced and predetermined, regardless of the care taken to ensure proper technique is used. But ya, while I always love seeing skilled fighters push right to the limit of safety in order to deliver intense and realistic fights, the simple fact remains, it's almost never worth doing, you only have 2 eyes to lose and few are willing to risk them for some camera time. I loved the video and I'm glad it was made, I just hope that in the future anyone choosing to do something similar, should do everything they can to keep attacks below the shoulder (in addition to any other obvious safety measures), even one solid thrust to the throat can put someone in the hospital.
@@FrendlywolfVideos the solution is to have skilled swordsmen as stunt doubles and use modern face mapping. the technology is already near perfect at this point.
There are several styles of reenactment fighting that use little or no armour. It's perfectly safe with skill and discipline, just avoid the neck/throat and head. Anyone saying fighting without armour is unsafe either has no actual experience or is so focused on what they're used to that they forget there are other ways of doing things. Hell, the thing I like most about this channel is that it showcases how many interesting ways there are of enjoying a nice day outdoors with good friends and good weapons.
@@dequitem I think the main reason is the realistic depiction of the motive. It's very unrealistic to have two people fighting each other to death without a burning reason. Yet that's exactly what most duels look like nowadays - like two people decided to kill each other just for sport. Motive affects the dynamic of the entire fight. Sport fights may be biomechanically correct, but they lack the mental reason for the fight to be realistic fully. The bad guy was extremely well acted and the tragic ending added to the impression that this was a real life event. Sie sind beide Spitzenklasse!
@@dequitem I think that it's because you're unarmored and probably very afraid of taking a hit because even when blunt, full-force sword strikes still hurt like hell and have a possibility of injury if hit in the right spots!
Those exchanges creeped me out; imagining myself in that kind of situation, getting cut up without any skills to protect myself. Seeing the two of them defend themselves whilst pushing the attack proves that Hollywood sword fights wherein the hero picks up how to fight with a sword instantly is bullcrap.
I’ve just started fencing, and the skill gap between me, someone who hasn’t held a sword since yesterday, and a guy who’s been doing it for a few years is incredibly astounding (and very humbling for me, lol). Combat back then must have been insane. Someone with a great deal of combat experience must have been seen as nearly untouchable in a straight up 1v1.
I am an armor fan, myself, but I do appreciate the complexity and the dangers of such duel reproduction, especially the late Teutonic duel, merciless and decisive.
The fact that you guys are doing this with full speed, full force, and completely unchoreographed, and the duels still last as long as they do, is insane. The skill on display, just, holy shit. Even with unsharpened weapons, the risk of injury has got to be sky high, especially considering that the first duel looks like it was ended by a blow to the neck/chin area. You guys are absolutely crazy for doing this, but it's the kind of crazy I can't help but respect. This is some serious dedication to the craft.
It was a shot to the chest but ended up in the chin. In reality I didn't screem "perish bastard", I asked him if he is fine and he started acting death but calls that he is fine. I cut his voice and changed my in the editing process.
Super impressive. Not to mention taking on the role of the "good guy" while recruiting a national champion for an opponent... I'm glad to see you hate happy endings as much as I do. Well done, Sir.
I can imagine that it would be easier to assume the role of someone who doesn’t care about the fictional person you are pretending to fight over. Your acting convincingly set the stakes of this duel really high, which made the ending all the more painful. Having embodied the role of the duelist who is fighting “for love”, would you consider that additional emotional internal stake in the outcome of the fight to be an advantage, or liability?
@@dequitem Watch your tendons too. If you cut a tendon, your hand will never be the same, and you need surgery immediately to limit the long-term damage.
@@dequitem Having witnessed what damage a wooden bokken can do even with experience kenjitsu practitioners, I applaud your skill and courage in undertaking these pieces! Not for me, this type of enactment. I managed to stab myself in the head with a Chinese sabre recently; thankfully a wooden one!😁

There is a reason why it was forbidden all over history from governments. It's not very useful for a government if the people kill each other because of small disagreements.
@@dequitem i imagine if melee duels were made legal, they probably wouldnt be to the death. In fact, it probably wouldnt even be sharp steel and could just be how HEMA sparring is already done. Not advocating for dueling to come back, just giving a what if

Yet another masterpiece from Dequitem. Its incredible how every video is somehow better than the last. The speed and accuracy of two masters of swordsmanship facing off with sabers and no protective gear is truly magnificent
Charles is truly a scumbag. Heinrich sparing Charles but Charles finishing Heinrich every time, not caring about Elise and just her money, I was really rooting for Heinrich. Great job. Better than any recent Hollywood movie.
Incredible! Thanks for creating such realistic content! Congratulations on 100k, truly one of my favorite channels to watch, you guys capture realism that people don't see often
Man, I held my breath the entire video. When you know that the fencers can get really hurt, the fight gets much more intense. That courage to do a video like that is something to be praised. Bravo. 👏
I am sorry I never watched Rashomon, but some teammates tell me about the film after i did the final cut on that video and showed it to them and my patreons. Now I think I have to watch the film.
Best one of these I’ve seen. So glad you adopted fixed wide camera angles rather than all the shaky camera and choppy cuts that I’ve seen in other sword fight UA-cam videos.
A whole different feeling to the armored combat. Much more delicate spacing and carefull lunges instead of daggerwrestling. Wonderfull. Pls continue in this quality :) Grüße aus dem Norden ;)
I will always have the utmost respect for you and the others in your videos. Putting your bodies in harms way and honoring those in the past. Congrats on 100k! Keep on making your ancestors proud.
Just fantastic, what a beautiful piece of art is this video. I would love to see more of these, it's just revolutionary to me to see a real duel like this. Only be careful to not get hurt.
I dont know how to explain it but this is what I wished ever movie sword fight looked like you are both truly complements to your craft and that was super cool
@@simko6064 There were a few hits that looked deadly but didnt felt that way. Like the leg attaks. We had the feeling that they wouldnt penetrate the thick leather.
But how dangerous it is to film something like this without even protecting your eyes, I congratulate you both for the excellent short film you have given us and for the incredible skill in handling your weapons, but friends, don't do things like this again, we already saw the skills you have, take care of your health and physical integrity, do not get seriously injured unnecessarily just for making a video, congratulations again and long live 😉😉

@@dequitem Ah! Of course it was! haha But, indeed, you should watch Rashomon, when you get a chance, as it is certainly what inspired The Last Duel's narrative structure. It's a brilliant film... one of Kurosawa's best! 👍👍
Totally engrossed watching those duels. Very good. Thanks for sharing. Hope nobody was too badly hurt. That poke to the throat looked like it could have hurt.
Something like the Kurosawa film in which there are several different and contradictory accounts of the same duel. This was VERY well done. Thank you very much. Subbed with notifications.
Why can't movies portray sword fights like this? Or Knight fights like they should be? Way more intense, the actual fear of the sword instead of the usual windmill attacks. But I have to say even if they're not sharp, still looks dangerous, specially eyes and around the face.
DAMN you guys wear less and less armor with each video. I wouldn't be surprised if at one point we're going to see an reenactment of 50000 BC naked caveman duel 😅😅 Anyway nice job as always guys! Appreciate the acting and everything! This is probably my most favorite medieval fighting channel on UA-cam, no one can capture the soul off a duel better than this channel!
I love how it was not rehearsed! Great job! This is the type of fight scene we need in movies these days. Too many BS moves and acrobatics in most actions scenes. Realism will sell!
Amazing duel, while it is without HEMA armour, it's still very intensive, dynamic, realistic! 💪 And dangerous as well - one bad move and some serious injury could happen🙈. And the camera shot is wide and no cut scenes! 😍 Just beautiful, sehr schöne, to watch!
I wonder how many such duels in real life ended with the dying loser actually going "tell Elise... I... loved her", vs thinking "fakk Elise! What the hell was I thinking, getting killed for that slag??"
I like the story telling in the way they're fighting - This isn't an extreme exchange of dramatic warriors and fight masters trying to murder each other Not everyone could be a master of swords like in movies Nobles in this time period weren't even practicing to defend their lands like 15th century knights, no "ungentlemanly" grappling, throwing of swords, etc. These guys fight not to lose, instead of fighting to kill/survive - They use as much distance as they can for most of it, striking weakening hits and testing resolve than maybe a battle - it fits their characters
Much better than most of these videos on UA-cam that exaggerate every motion and tumble around, trying to appear "realistic" by basically fighting like shit and making grunting noises.
the 1st one that ends with the touch to the neck is insane! , also, the 3rd 1 is kinda unfair cuz hienrich's arm woulda been munched from that cut, while charlie really plays up the wound to the abdomen, to a big disadvantage
So it looks like you are not only the sword fighter, but also the cameraman, the Director, the script writer, actor, choreographer, and the location scout (I know that most of the fighting here is not choreographed, and is not scripted, but I wanted to give you credit for the scenes that are) I truly enjoy your videos, you have an amazing artistic vision! Never stop pursuing your passions, the world is a better place for it 😁

Totally engrossed watching those duels. Very good. Thanks for sharing. Hope nobody was too badly hurt. That poke to the throat looked like it could have hurt.
It did, but no serious injuries.
the acting and storytelling is SO spectacular, I love this video so much!
Something like the Kurosawa film in which there are several different and contradictory accounts of the same duel. This was VERY well done.
Thank you very much. Subbed with notifications.
Good show, sirs. This shows a level of interest in sword not normally seen. Bravo.
Hellish quart got this stuff down packed. Insane stuff. Amazing fighting. Great Job
the balls you have to have to do this when theres a saber 2 inches from your face or hits to the hands insane very well made
Well made but also dumb 😅
Very well done. Poor Elise though.
I dont know any elise worth dying for. My wife has another name and she, my son and my ego 😉are the only once, worth dying for.
@@dequitemHow could you forget the dog? 😡
@@lukasalberter9886 ohhh shit. Don't tell that my dog.
I have nothing to comment, so I'll comment that because algorithm likes comments
Also,
That was awesome to watch!
last part is something worth to comment. I appreciate both sentences!
Great video (as usual)
Why can't movies portray sword fights like this? Or Knight fights like they should be? Way more intense, the actual fear of the sword instead of the usual windmill attacks.
But I have to say even if they're not sharp, still looks dangerous, specially eyes and around the face.
It is not only looking dangerous, it actualy was very dangerous, but also fun!
Very impressive fencing, beautiful to watch.
Very well done. Awesome! Can't wait for the highly anticipated round 2... Für Elise.
I want this in films not the weird shit that they usually do. NICE work
Incredible work. This is high art.
DAMN you guys wear less and less armor with each video. I wouldn't be surprised if at one point we're going to see an reenactment of 50000 BC naked caveman duel 😅😅
Anyway nice job as always guys! Appreciate the acting and everything! This is probably my most favorite medieval fighting channel on UA-cam, no one can capture the soul off a duel better than this channel!
Thanks. I am interested in a caveman duel!
Save it for next year's april fool's idea
But it's to much to make good costumes for a stoneage fight only for April fools. Their clothes were well made and no Unga Bunga stuff!
I love how it was not rehearsed! Great job! This is the type of fight scene we need in movies these days. Too many BS moves and acrobatics in most actions scenes. Realism will sell!
❤Awesome video! Love the mix of combat and lite-storytelling.
Amazing duel, while it is without HEMA armour, it's still very intensive, dynamic, realistic! 💪 And dangerous as well - one bad move and some serious injury could happen🙈.
And the camera shot is wide and no cut scenes! 😍 Just beautiful, sehr schöne, to watch!
Congrats on 100k subs!
Gratuliere! Und das Special dann auch noch mit dem Säbel gefochten… exzellente Wahl der Waffe!!!
Danke!
My friend, I'm conflicted. Such skill on display is wonderful to see, but I'm uneasy about the level of risk-taking here.
Same conflict on my side.
good fight. I liked the duel of the tv show outlander in France. Jack Randall vs Jamie Fraser.
Indeed that was decend choreographie.
I wonder how many such duels in real life ended with the dying loser actually going "tell Elise... I... loved her", vs thinking "fakk Elise! What the hell was I thinking, getting killed for that slag??"
Truly impressive fencing
I like the story telling in the way they're fighting - This isn't an extreme exchange of dramatic warriors and fight masters trying to murder each other
Not everyone could be a master of swords like in movies
Nobles in this time period weren't even practicing to defend their lands like 15th century knights, no "ungentlemanly" grappling, throwing of swords, etc.
These guys fight not to lose, instead of fighting to kill/survive - They use as much distance as they can for most of it, striking weakening hits and testing resolve than maybe a battle - it fits their characters
Much better than most of these videos on UA-cam that exaggerate every motion and tumble around, trying to appear "realistic" by basically fighting like shit and making grunting noises.
It's strange where the idea comes from, that you have to grunt after every strike!
This is SO epic... ..wow... amazing skills.
Masterpiece! Thank you for your Hard work!
And...Matt Easton is the winner!!! Oh wait, wrong channel. Very cool video, I enjoy these realistic duel and fight scenes....Kudos!!!
But I hope Matt Easton see this video and like it or even better react to it.
If he had a rapier he would have lived
I actually prefer a saber! I think it's the better weapon.
the 1st one that ends with the touch to the neck is insane! , also, the 3rd 1 is kinda unfair cuz hienrich's arm woulda been munched from that cut, while charlie really plays up the wound to the abdomen, to a big disadvantage
So it looks like you are not only the sword fighter, but also the cameraman, the Director, the script writer, actor, choreographer, and the location scout (I know that most of the fighting here is not choreographed, and is not scripted, but I wanted to give you credit for the scenes that are)
I truly enjoy your videos, you have an amazing artistic vision!
Never stop pursuing your passions, the world is a better place for it 😁
Thanks!
Cinematic masterpiece!
Well done. Very, very well done. In all aspects.
Really enjoyed it! I was so rooting for the good guy! Poor Elise gonna end up with a turd (who happens to be an excellent swordsman)
