I'm a white armor man. Sorry guys. I'm 42 years old. I wasn't fit enough. There was a lot of controversy, so I measured the weight today. That weapon weighs 3.1kg. It's never light, like the comments here. Actually, I use a 6.5KG glave. I haven't felt a big difference of 2kg or 3kg, and I haven't thought about weighing it. But in reality, that white glave is also very heavy. The blade weighs 1.1KG. It has heavy metal in the black part of the blade. But the blade made it as flexible and safe as possible for the safety of the opponent. If it was a real 5kg weapon and the blade was 3kg, everyone would have been hurt. But this is a sport for us, not martial arts for murder. Let's settle for testing, simulating. Sometimes you want a hell of a battle reality... we even have a working life in real life hahaha.
In my opinion, you could still use guan dao holding technic. But instead, you used it like a spear with big head. That weapon basically a dao with long handle. Anyways, great fight.😊
You did great, with a real heavy Guan Dao there is no clean block possible for a katana xD... Also, armor was worn precisely to cover the weak points exposed by wielding that kind of weapon
You're probably more right than you think. The luscious beard swings around wildly when Guan Yu attacks, distracting his foes from the huge dragon blade that's coming at them.
@@Kuodo79 how dare you sir, we made a joint promise as a species to remember Guan Yu's beard as luscious and magnificent, yet here you are betraying that promise !!!!!!
@@seangrey 😂 I did my part to uphold that promise and kept my beard for as long as possible just to visit his tomb (just his head) in the temple in Luoyang, before cutting it short. But facts are facts. 😁
Makes me think how legends are just legends, and what actual battlefield survivability was like back then, instead of through the myths and stories we hear. Amazing channel!
Having good armor on makes a big difference. Even if the armor doesn't completely stop an attack, it can turn it from a lethal one into a flesh wound. The Three Kingdoms is full of accounts of warriors bearing many scars on their bodies. So it's not that they never get hit; it's just that the armor saves them in a lot of cases.
From your comment, why it sounds like you assumed that the three kingdoms generals and strategists fight like in Dynasty Warriors, killing people like grass 😂
Remember that most people on war were farmers trained to poke people with pointy sticks barely armored, and not professional soldiers with proper armor and a good pole arm.
It seems the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is right about Guan Yu's Dragon Glaive. The book said that the Glaive has the weight of 40 kg, and entirely made from metal. And every time we see Guan Yu in action (in every Three Kingdoms drama out there), he always use swinging movement, like what the White Armor Man doing in this sparring. The point of the technique actually use the weight of the weapon to overcome the enemy defense. So when the user swing his Guan Dao, even if the enemy parry it with their weapon, they will still overwhelmed by the weight factor of the Blade. That's why Guan Yu won a lot in battle (at least in Romance of the Three Kingdoms book). He used he muscles and the weight of his weapon to overcome the enemy defense, so whenever he swing his Dao, it doesn't matter if the enemy parry it or not, it will always score a kill for him.
Iirc the "40 kg" was more like a training one for muscle development; you wouldn't be able to wield one that heavy in a combat scenario. A 5-10 kg is more likely its combat weight, and that's still incredibly heavy. Imagine the inertia and force behind that spinning jump strike? That's gotta be intense.
@@hemmydall 40kg would be completely impractical for fighting. Even 5kg would be much heavier than most polearms intended for combat, which are more like 2-3kg. There is that manual by Cheng Zi Yi that says 5.9-11.8kg for this weapon. I'm skeptical a polearm of such weight would be effective.
Thank you for your comment. I am the white armor man. I tried to show actual glenabe skills whenever possible. The 2-on-1 match was difficult. My eyes kept moving and it was crazy. Haha. Although the inner weapon is plastic, it is not light. It's over 2 kilograms. Actually, I have a 5.5 kilogram dragon glaive. It's very heavy and not good for many techniques. Korean glaive weighs 2.5-3 kg. I made it in Korean style. 😊
@@b.h.abbott-motley2427Well, that's what I read from the book. So I don't know if it's right or wrong. We don't even know if Guan Yu was ever use Guan Dao in his life in the real history either.
Really interesting how a lot of the times the swordsmen are just really scared of that massive weapon. Psychology plays a big part in fights and coming with a fat armor and huge weapon can intimidate the crap out of someone!
Regardless of the weapons being used, when you're outnumbered in a fight, you never let the opponent come to you. You have to double your aggression to prevent them coordinating attacks. Keep moving towards them.
it is a weapon intended to be used on horseback... also the actual dragon glaive weapon would have been substantially heavier than a sword (and would probably be hard for a swordsman to parry) finally... the guy would have had over 10 years of experience with the weapon.... and would have many more and better moves.
Really loved the 02:18 attack. Really interesting to see a traditional move like that work so well. I do koryu naginatajutsu, and there's an interesting mix between small moves and big, complex ones. It looked like the glaive had more effect when you were braver with it. I would think big, brave moves are great for handling multiple enemies. Can even see the second swordsman hesitate to engage, even though he chased.
This looks like it was super fun. I'm thinking about getting a pair of good gauntlets so I can fight with a two-hander in SCA. Maybe I will make a guandu and give it a try!
Some issues with this video: 1. The swordman should not be able to block the heavy 360 rotation blow. Just like you cannot expect a short sword to fully block the wide swing of a claymore due to the momentum. 2. The Guandao seems to be abit short short. The mounting point of the Dao should be at the top of your head. It seems to be more than a head short.
Guanyu's blade, if its accounts were real, weighs around 40 to 45kg. It will be significantly slower. However, Guanyu was also said to be really tall and strong. 🤔
@@Pigga-k8k Of course they can't be 100% real. But even a sabre Dao by itself is already heavier than 2kg. Let alone a lengthy pole that is thick enough to hold the weight of it.
@@Pigga-k8k most people learned Guan Yu from fictional novel, not historical archive. The author, Luo Guanzhong from Ming era only have limited access to information, which is based on folklore. In modern time, as ancient tombs uncovered and historical archived came true. Like Zhang Fei was actually treasury with huge network of trade, and Liu Bei was not a sandal maker. It was story he cooked up to win the heart of the lower caste.
Double Swords is also commonly used in ancient China especially during Song and Ming dynasties, Ming dynasty general Wang Bi who participated in Battle of Buir Lake was known to be an expert at using dual swords. Wu Song, a top warrior from Ming dynasty fictional novel Water Margin also uses double swords.
20-40kg? 😭 Bruh, I wouldnt even DARE going melee against that monster. I'd just take a bow, a crossbow, a javelline or a spear rather than a sword against that
Leave it to a weeb to spout made-up nonsense like this. You don't need to exaggerate a weapon's weight to make it good. A glaive is deadly because its designed to be deadly. No need to add magic super duper power stupidity.
Supposedly the actual Glaive weighed at least 40 lbs. Takes a very strong person and equally skilled to wield and swing it around, yea there's probably no way anyone's blocking those swings Lol. Very scary if you think about it
Seen a lot of people do this test, but pole arm vs swordsmen depend on a few factors 1-which pole arm is it, how long is it 2-which sword are they using 3-compentance of the pole arm user 4-how good are the sword users in working as a team Every test i seen sorta ends up the same, pole arm guy has no problem with 2 people, 3 he will lose if one dude is willing to take one for the team, 4 is impossible
It is a real fun to watch. But I really think such a heavy long glaive is for the Calvary where it can get more reach and momentum. Just my thoughts. Anyway, thanks for your efforts.
I held a real glaive like that in Vietnamese's dojo (Bình Định province, to be exact). Of course they grinded the sharp edge for safety purpose, but let me tell you, it weights A LOT for untrained arms. At that time, i have been practicing martial art for 2 and a half years and i still remember the feeling of my arms became so stiff and tired that they refused to lift the weapon, after practice with it for 15 minutes. My instructor had to call off the training with it, said that with muscle fatigue like, there was a high chance that i could accidentally drop the glaive on my head and thus he had to paid for medicine 😂
Guan Yu height around above 9 Feet 'Late Eastern Han Dynasty' Measurement x 23.5 cm = 212 cm (or in modern day around 7 Feet). Predicted height around 212-218 cm. But 23.5 cm is actually a ruler (not a feet size measurement) that found in Eastern Han Dynasty Tomb, so if we observe the Qin Dynasty Teracota Warrior that made in real size the height of warriors vary from 175 cm to high rank warrior 200 cm (that mean in ancient time high people already exist, like nowadays, no different). So if we want measure above 9 feet, I think we should use the feet size of Teracota Warrior not the ruler size, that mean actually if we want imagine Guan Yu height, we can use Yao Ming, Sun Ming Ming, Abiodun Adegoke, or even Robert Wadlow height as proof that Giant always exist through time. That above 9 feet may really mean same like nowadays 9 feet (2.7 m). Red Hare must be very rare Giant horse (from toe to head top height 3 m)
@@BarsusDraco how much weight can be lifted by world top strongestmen hundreds of kg (500 kg - world deadlift record), so similar in ancient China historical text China strongmen warrior able to lift hundreds of kg easily. Some people gifted with natural strenght plus they practiced weight lift for years also learn martial art, no wonder if Guan Yu was so strong. LuBu and GuanYu gifted with Superhuman Strenght. Ancient Giant Warlord Warrior like Lubu and GuanYu much stronger from nowadays world top strongestmen , even the warrior that carry Guan Yu blade on the shoulder while running along the way follow him while Guan Yu riding the horse must a very strong one, that why Guan Yu ask this warrior are u sure and able to accept that positition, because Guan Yu blade is heavy one.

I was expecting more belly and leg cuts. Spinning overhead attacks are easy to block because they are big moves. It is better to be aggressive and keep moving against multiple opponents, otherwise they overwhelm you. The glaive user still did a good job tho.
Against two opponents, your only real option is to use your reach to try to get them to back themselves into a corner, leave a foot open, trip over an obstacle, make some kind of small mistake while keeping out of your reach. And then immediately try to capitalize on that small mistake to rapidly make it 1:1. Which he ALMOST managed to do a few times. Of course, armor rather than "hits" changes things a little bit.
With the weight of that glaive, it would be AWFULL to even try to parry the tornado strike with a smaller blade 😭 against that thing, you need either full-plate (and metal bones to survive the blunt force that thing has) or you'll need a greatsword for the extra reach and weight. Cuz I'd rather have a Ōdachi rather than a Katana when fighting that shit 💀
From the look at the blade on the glaive in comparison to the naginata, I’m just wondering wouldn’t the two weapons be equal so no matter which one the dragon glaive or the naginata the two would be equally effective. The only difference would be the fighting art/ techniques they’re used.
The glaive is CRAZY when it works. It _looks_ like it's too weighty, too cumbersome...and then the guy starts swinging, and suddenly there's a heavy blade with massive reach coming from an angle that's hard to parry or dodge. Best way to counter it is just to strike first before the guy starts swinging.
Guan Yu used the glaive while mounted on the horse for maximum reach with blade. Lu Bu was the only opponent that he struggle with in one of the battle.

99% accurate, the only 1% missing is the requirement to stroke your beard literally after every swing
2:40 The way he gets the kill then immediately tries to swipe the other swordman's feet was really impressive to me.
When you lose, it's because you don't have the luscious beard.
You're probably more right than you think. The luscious beard swings around wildly when Guan Yu attacks, distracting his foes from the huge dragon blade that's coming at them.
Heh except that length was heavily exaggerated by opera. His drawn portrait historically was never that long nor thick.

ofc... cause another dude dropped the sword 😅
I believe with the real glaive that move could hack the person in half. All that momentum
that was a musou😂
That jumping air strike tho was nasty lol
If that glaive had the actual weight of metal behind it, it'd probably have made contact
But swinging that would had be laborious @@talamioros

That looked really fun. And kudos to white armor man; he's got real technique there.
Parrying Guandao with a sword? Good luck! Injuries by Guandao vs. injuries by sword? The first one chops off stuff much much easier.

With the weight of that glaive, it would be AWFULL to even try to parry the tornado strike with a smaller blade 😭 against that thing, you need either full-plate (and metal bones to survive the blunt force that thing has) or you'll need a greatsword for the extra reach and weight. Cuz I'd rather have a Ōdachi rather than a Katana when fighting that shit 💀
From the look at the blade on the glaive in comparison to the naginata, I’m just wondering wouldn’t the two weapons be equal so no matter which one the dragon glaive or the naginata the two would be equally effective. The only difference would be the fighting art/ techniques they’re used.
This was done really well thanks guys
This was really fun!
I believe the man with the Dragon Glaive needs more training and practice on how to use the guandao before attempting such a feat again.
Wish you would pull even more from your other channel (with translation) for the Korean impaired.
The glaive is CRAZY when it works. It _looks_ like it's too weighty, too cumbersome...and then the guy starts swinging, and suddenly there's a heavy blade with massive reach coming from an angle that's hard to parry or dodge. Best way to counter it is just to strike first before the guy starts swinging.
Yeah but it has the advantage of the range
A Guandao, Hell Yeah!!!
Yeah... Now imagine yourself a farm peasant going against that beast.
You'd win if you had a crossbow. But Guan Yu wore full-plate armor, so them crossbows did not bother him 💀
1. The ceiling is stopping him from swinging properly
2. He's not riding a horse
Все это очень хорошо когда у тебя легкая палочка в руке.Но когда ты возьмешь в руки глеву из стали с толстым ясеневым древком ,все поменяется)
Guan Yu used the glaive while mounted on the horse for maximum reach with blade. Lu Bu was the only opponent that he struggle with in one of the battle.
😂😂😂 but serious. Your videos are good, educational. Thanks 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
