- Who is stronger? Knight or Samurai? If such battles had taken place in the Middle Ages, then who would have won?

We offer you a video from the channel / @medievalcombattv5272
"3'rd Tournament of Polish Knights Fights League
Knights fight with sword and sabre is about scoring points - whenever a competitor gets a clear hit on his opponent, he scores a point. The one with more points wins.
Armors and weapons used during the fights imitate with great detail original equipment of medieval European knights - this is one of the requirements to join the tournament.

Samurai: "Like the wind, I shall cut down my foe. With speed equal to it."
Knight: " I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!"
Samurai: *here goes my morale boost*
Thats one of the best comment If ever read 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🥰
SILLY BITCH, YOUR WEAPONS CANNOT HARM ME! DONT YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM?!
press F to Samurai that lost his sword..
My first thoughts on here were “the knight is using the WWE medieval fighting style, not HEMA, this sucks!
My next thought was “oh the Japanese blade broke after being hit by the European blade? That figures lmao”
When you know you're safe from injury you fight much differently.
I would like this comment twice if I could
You fight very differently. If every attack could be fatal it would be far less aggressive. But valiant effort on both parties thanks to everyone who participated we a viewers enjoyed I greatly
Well also they can only really do slashes which isn’t what the samurai would be aiming for they’d be prodding for weaknesses to get a final blow stab in to instantly end the fight but they can’t do that obviously, despite the blade being blunt the point is very capable of killing Someone still
Ong
100% agreed
That Knight makes me feel like Im watching a nintendo enemy from the 80s with one programmed move.
😂
😂
at least is effective.
@@user-zu7hk9gz3u No, just no!
Armor is very restrictive, particularly western plate armor. The arms can be lifted up, but will dig into your chest due to the pauldrons, so swinging left to right becomes almost impossible. As such, even seen in doctrine they prefer to gaurd and then do downward swings or straight lunges. As the guy is using what appears to be a Falchion though which has no point, he can pretty much only do downward swings.
That's not a knight, that's a lumberjack in armor lol
a rich lunberjack that is
That’s what they all we’re back then. Only when they got tired we’re they actually killed because they fell don’t let movies trick you.
@@eiii5843not at all, nobles who later became knights where trained since childhood
@@theoxbeling they were trained to hit hard and hit good point since sword don't cut armor, they had to slice knee cap and shoulder cap or armpits and the armor hole made to see
that's not a samurai.
Master of Historical Fencing = Literally anyone who can afford a full suit of armor
of course not... but lot od people are confused about real eficiency od fencing
It’s funny because that’s the exact separation they had back in the day. Those who could afford it an learn with it. An those who couldn’t.
Absolutely. Nail on the head.
Really crap, terribly unskilled shite.
@@tommytampons2080 But back in the day, presumably when their LIVES depended on it, as it indeed would have, they would have TRAINED. This is not what we're seeing here. Two toddlers who've been given two foam swords and are whacking each other with wild abandon. There is fckall skill evident here.
A buddy of mine is in the society for creative anachronisms and he makes his armor. You can't pick up that stuff off the rack. It needs to be custom made
I like how the knight is just swinging like he's trying to split a log
It was an embarrassment to any HEMA practitioner to see such an idiot represent a "knight".
probably is
Very effective actually
He split his sword though… 😂
yah skill level -5. :)

@@The_Real_Doom_Slayer i love Poland
I agree buddy this is what real warriors do. So fucking hottttt lol
mine was seeing my teacher naked
Fun fact: samurais actually mostly used polearms and bows during combat, they only use the katana in extreme situations where they don't even have a single choice
same with the knights.
This was stupid.
especially since the knight hasn't studied HEMA at all
@@pandorasboxofcatvideos5892 He did have a rather gd vom tag form at tumes i give him that
@@pandorasboxofcatvideos5892 it's not the point of this tho
not really actually. The Samurai barely even used the Katana as a sword when it had a superior counterpart made for war, the Tachi. it was longer and better than a katana in every way.
Very cool. very epic
Samurai: "I become one with the wind.. The ground beneath my feet... The steel of my blade... None shall harm me--"
Knight: "TAKE THIS, BLASPHEMER!"
As a samurai, once your blade broke, you fall to your knees and have deep thoughts about all of your friends depending on you. You then start shouting and slowly rise to your feet, and your hair gets bigger and longer. The hilt of the sword in your hand starts shining and blade of light manifests in the place where the metal blade used to be. Finally, you discovered your hidden power....then...your eyes open right before the knight lops off your head.
I'm glad someone finally explains what really happens in that situation ;)
situation is garbage. Not saying samurai would win or lose BUT in real fight people hit in vital points , so its doesn't actually matter what you use katana or longsword its more about HOW you use it. On this garbage video we can literally see how 2 idiots just hit non stop each other, literally swing swords without any technique while again if you want to use katana you must know martial arts. Video is garbage, no matter who win or lose, this is nothing compare to real fight@@r0ckworthy

"RIP HIS HEAD OFF!!!" xD
The biggest problem I see is that neither samurais nor knights were idiots, they wouldn't be bashing an armored opponent with swords and secondly the knights armor dates from the 15th century while the samurais from the late 16th.
tbh what else can u do if u cant thrust
do you want to injure someone in the real fucking world now? sure alright may aswell bring a glock to the sparring session if your intentions is to literally penetrate the armour.
in the case of the knight he wield a messer witch is made to deal heavy blunt trauma for a sword. so hitting the armor of a samurai isn't a stupid tactic if you are in a 1v1
@@Flacto-vs6npGrapple. Knights and Samurai knew about grappling, and if you can't pierce armour you can still snap some joints.

@@andersonalves1254 maybe but it stay funny
he didn't use any technique, literally
@@Dielock123he's just a lumberjack in a steel plate LMAO
I feel like hitting a steel helmet with a sword is a bad strategy since it's not an impact weapon.
Would it be possible to have spatulated tips on the weapons so the combatants could safely stab in the gaps of the armor? I think that would better represent who would actually win if they were using live blades.
That's not the point
@@KingTFD the guy in samurai armor literally broke his sword from using it improperly. Whatever the point of this is can't be a good one.
Unless they're demonstrating how not to fight with a sword against an armored opponent. In which case he did a fantastic job.
Hi, I'm on a buhurt team so I can try to answer your question.
No, at no time is stabbing in the sport ok. The duel we are watching is scored with points, each hit with the blade of the weapon being counted as a point. Disarms and takedowns have their own rules based on location and organization.
We aren't out there trying to injure each other. Hurt each other, sure, it's like any other combat sport. Stabbing with steel, regardless how dull it is, can and will seriously injure someone.
Dude you need a mace to against plate armor
@@waynej9238 the samurai used a mace like weapon. I forgot the name but the katana was never the best option here
This combat was quite sad, the knight and the samurai were not seen in a combat guard (or guard) as cultures used to be, the only thing I saw (from my point of view) was a sword fight with little experience. I didn't see it as a serious fight.
The Samurai was using basic kendo techniques to consistently block and land hits. I don't know what the scoring system is for this but if this were graded on hits against enemy wrist and head contact, the samurai was a clear winner
Japanese traditional Katana smith: "That is not real Katana!" This sport is awesome though to see different eras, armors and weapons just having fun.
These guys playing with swords are just as much of "Master of Historical Fencing" as I am a "Master of MMA fighting" when I hit my keyboard when I get angry playing video games
👍
ну все таки они реальными железяками машутся, а не виртуальными, есть разница
😂😅😂🤡🤡🤭 boa essa também acho o mesmo um samurai e cavaleiro de verdade seria bom
Cope harder lol
You would gas out in 40 seconds bud.. Also there is a thing called "helmet suffocation", it takes practice to not feel as if you cannot breathe in a helm like his.
You have to control your breathing and realize you aren't actually being starved of oxygen.. This is a common thing with reenacting fighters today and one of the first things they teach you. Many people cannot get past this and fail badly, passing out due to perceived asphyxiation, because their muscles are demanding more blood flow and oxygen from the blood and the helmet fools the body into believing they are suffocating.
Samurai is just knight dressed as samurai.
😂
Hahaha exactly! He was horrible technique-wise and also has no endurance like a real samurai or kenjutsu/kendo operator 😂
@@jan_07 Still knew his HEMA better than the "knight"
Knight’s really practicing that overhead chop
yeah.... and nothing else. Wonder if he's ever seen a manuscript.
He probably only saw the vom tag and decided that that was all there was to hema(edit: i accidentally spelled vom tag as vron tag)
It's say knight but in reallity this man is from buhurt witch is tend to do combat in groupe insteed of duel. Meaning they tend to use more brute force tactic because they have at least 2 guys in front of them. Plus this isn't a regular two handed sword this is at the very least a two handed messer witch is not a sword you can swing around to make fancy moves. I've used one myself and I can tell you even with training that shit is heavy as fuck you really don't want to try fancy parry with this one. Quick note to have: European swords and weapon main strengh isn't in it's cutting capacity but in it's blunt force, the reality is that almost all sword in europe were made with the capacity to be resistant and create blunt force trauma against armored or chain mail toops.
Alternative title: guy who just ordered a knight costume off of Amazon vs guy with a katana,
Like master of historical fencing? He only knows one one cut, and I use the word knows very loosely,
I'd say he's using it like a club but that's an insult against clubs, a grade schooler who just picked up a stick off the ground is a better fancer than that guy
But brute force wins here. :-D
You don't know what they are doing. These are counted blows tournaments, so the priority is to strike as many clean blows on your opponent as possible without getting hit yourself. This is an accurate depiction of a form of medieval tourney dating back to the 14th century AD. Some people in the modern sport have begun using Japanese armor and weapons because their primary training is with Japanese martial arts.
@@tx7140 brah, I'm a historical fencer, here's a crazy idea, if you actually use proper form instead of clumsily swinging it around like you're drunker than Jack Sparrow and trying to swing around a baseball bat you'll land more blows,
Yeah, shocking, I know.
That guy just sucks and thats all there is to it, I am aware of the sport, the guy is just really bad at it.
@@googleisacruelmistress1910 You clearly do not know what you are talking about. If you tried to fight either of the people seen here, you would leave with broken ribs and a concussion. Historical fencers are not confronted with sufficient physical aggression when fighting for their techniques to be pressure tested. The fighters you see in this video are, and are utilizing what actually works, particularly for the sport of counted blows tourney fighting.
I compete in this sport regularly, and friends of mine have had fingers cut off in similar duels. You get 90 seconds to inflict as much damage as you can on your opponent, which has led to a "meta" of all out aggression for the duration of the round. I suggest you reflect on your lack of knowledge and skill before replying to my comments with more poorly thought out ideas about a sport which you do not compete in.
@@tx7140 your friends have had fingers cut off in buhurt? Well that explains why you don't think these guys suck, y'all train in a shit club,
Like seriously I've dabbled it it for years while also training in HEMA and the most serious injury this sport usually has are some broken bones or a concision while the most common is neck and knee stuff, I've never heard of a single person getting their fingers cut off let alone
If you've actually had friends, as in plural, had that happen to them y'all are definitely doing something wrong and should look for a new club immediately, preferably one which has you wear the proper protective gear,
Or more likely you're just making shit up
2:00 peak historical accuracy right there
Absolutely because japanese steel was poorly made !
@@jocelyndaprey541 huuuh? Poorly made? You mean the quality of of tamahagane or bloom steel was poor since japan wasn’t blessed with good steel reserves in the earth . But to say that the Japanese didn’t find a way to work around that is pure bullshit. the katana is a very durable sword not to mention swords in general we’re not used like clubs, so using one against an armored opponent regardless if it is a European or Asian sword is completely inaccurate.
@@rayleighsilver8264 Yes I meant they don't have good minerals in the ground, what you say about the use and the context is true though
@@greenscreen1532 wow very insightful
@@jocelyndaprey541 true…also I believe the knight is using a falchion wich is very tip heavy and can in some cases (depending on the type of falchion) dent armor.
That’s why you see in the video the Japanese guy holding his arm where the sword struck.
The mekugi pin broke in the samurai's sword I'm guessing, which is why it fell apart.
Totally normal.
This is buhurt, stabbing is banned and its all point based.
Kamakura period is approximate of Last Crusade period. For a knight using a falchion a japanese samurai would be more likely using a tachi or kotō with a longer reach than a Katana.
A nagamaki probably if it’s correct, I think those were around for a while in Japan.
Well, polearms started gaining traction during the kamakura era, so perhaps a yari would be better. Never underestimate the spearman.
They just stand there pounding on each other, ocassionally smashing the blades together. It doesn't seem either of them know what they are doing.
You would have been destroyed instantly if you were put in the same situation.

Samurai: “technique is key to smiting your foe.”
Knight: “ha ha sword go WAK”
I just can't believe how full the stands are!!! AMAZING!
A fencing master that doesn't bother blocking and just goes chop chop chop? lol At least the guy in samurai armor tried to block and counter..
Se peleaba así, la armadura lo protege, solo tiene que preocuparse de no caerse al suelo, sería muy vulnerable porque le costaría tiempo y esfuerzo ponerse en pie.
Why bother blocking strikes that can’t penetrate your armor? Your sword will take more damage than your armor ever would, plate armor is excellent against slashing attacks, 0% chance of penetrating it. Even if you go for the joints, that knight is wearing a chain mail under the plate, again, not going through that with a slashing motion. Contrary to manga you can’t really cut metal plates.
there always vital points in any armor bud. This garbage fight have nothing to do with real fights. one guy trying to do something , other just stupidly hitting. If Both of them want to show how they stupid, they could use both longswords, because for katana you must know techniques and etc instead of just stupid swings. Yes again, you can't actually slash , but there no armor that makes you invicible in medievel age
The katana can't penetrate sheet armor (or even chainmail) at all, since slashing is ineffective against such surfaces. The only way to defeat it is to pierce its weak points (i.e., the joints) which was likely forbidden by the rules because it can actually be dangerous. So basically it was an endurance fight of the biades, and the victor was written from the start since the sword flexes and doesn't get damaged even with the heaviest hits, while the katana is too rigid and so gradually takes damage and either breaks at the hilt or gets bent.
Fight or 2 people smacking each other on the head 😂
That is so stupid. A Katana would be one of the worst weapons against an armored opponent, while the falchion used by the "knight" is a full contact version...
Very nice, I love it 👍
Knight: "PARRY THIS" **CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP** lol
Samurai: "PARRY THIS"* slice slice slice slice and one on the head "I'm fast".
This gives off “Deadliest Warrior” vibes, miss that show
remember african warrior
dude that show came out when I was in 6th grade and I never missed a single episode. Not one. I eventually even went and bought most of the episodes on itunes and watched them for years after. It's a shame it's not on any streaming service now, I'd love to revisit the show. Such a perfect show for a middle school kid (and a now 25 year old kid-at-heart lol).
That two handed falchion looks NASTY! I would hate to get hit by that.
To bad the "knight" hasn't practiced a day in his life, or even looked at a manuscript.
@@pandorasboxofcatvideos5892 He probably only saw von tag and was like: thats gotta be the most effective stance
@@pandorasboxofcatvideos5892 too bad that's not the point of this sport.
the surprises of Polish fans in the background
So funny to see how the samurais attacks just bounce off the armor
katana is too light for actual combat where enemies has good armors,its only for cutting when enemies are like that
That wannabe samurai has bad technique and endurance FFS 😂. A real one wouldn’t be that slow and wouldn’t hit the knight armour and instead go for the head or any weak spots. Even the posture is horrible from this wannabe. Don’t believe what you see here.
Lol if it was sharpened steel the guy in Armour had exposed arm pits and thusting wasn't allowed were it would of been more dominant yet fatal for guy in shitty Spanish 16th century western armour
A samurai would aim in-between the armor rather than slash directly.
they hired someone who doesn't know how to fight like a samurai
this doesnt look like 2 professionals, it looks like 2 children playing with sticks...
A magical Katana failing against European armor!!!???😱 But it cuts through concrete and stone blocks and titanium???😏
My inner weeb is heartbroken, but my outer white boy is delighted.
There is no historical fencing going on here. This is two cavemen swinging blunted swords like sticks. Get that misleading crap out of the title.
"WHAT IS THIS TOOTHPICK?! SO YOU'RE SAYING I MUST FIGHT AGAINST A FANCIER LOOKING "KNIGHT" WIELDING A BLOODY TOOTHPICK?!"
I just felt like identifying the weapons:
The knight is undoubtedly using a falchion sword, of course.
Though the Samurai sword does look much like a katana, it seems a bit longer. Katana were used for self defense, while what this Samurai is using, the tachi, has a slightly longer blade which functions better for battlefield purposes.
Katana refers to any kind of japanese sword. The classic "katana" everyone thinks about is an uchigatana
@@axellp1000 Ah. Well that clears things up a bit. Thanks for that!
For such an armored opponent the japanese would try to eliminate it with bows, polearms or even blunt weapons, Yes in the feuldal japanese battlefields, Axes, sickles, hammers. and morning-star type of weapons where a thing even for them
0:48 "Ciśnij go jak na.. strajku kolejarzy!!" Its beautiful
If anything this just shows how insanely OP plate armor is against bladed weapons
I would argue this shows more people clearly playing around like children instead of two enemies fighting to kill each other. In a situation like this where both combatants would realize that their swords are ineffective, the obvious move would be to use a smaller backup weapon like a dagger combined with grappling to stab the other to death via the weak points in their armor instead of using weapons that are designed to give reach.
@@churrascodegato11 yea but more armor sacrifices speed and movement
it's not, you usually don't hit an armored person with a fucking slashing weapon, but with something more blunt like a hammer, axe, pick, or spear.
@@takkovacs986 usually yes, but less people would typically be armed with those types of weapons
@@BaulFoodmanedits it was very pay to win. ngl. But even a strong enough piece of wood can deal serious head damage to knock out (or worse) a person in armor. In battle nothing is simple and predictable.
That sounds awesome, but in the end it is just 2 dudes exchanging the same 3 unlikely strikes over and over needlesly. Armored combat looked nothing like that.
Probably very realistic if not more refined than historical accounts. The Samurai historically would have approached the fight differently but would have probably met a much quicker fate in facing off with a European knight.
@@vincentmcneil9462 Not even close. Realistic armored combat mostly ends up in grapling trying to find a gap in the armor to stick your rondel in. Same with the Japanese version.
I don't know what hurts my head more: the lumberjack, the HEMA moving 'samurai', or the wikipedia 'knowledge' in a good bit of the comments 🤦🏼♂️
Thing is this is just two guys whacking at eachother's armour. If a Knight and a Samurai were to fight to the death in real life it would look very different. They wouldn't just be repeatedly slashing at protected parts of the body. They'll likely try to bash eachother's head and neck areas with slashing motion because that would still disorient and blunt force is more effective there, but with body shots they would likely be more like stabs, trying to stab into the joints, the weak points in the armour.
Their footwork is not very good.
this or they would use anti armour weapons
or wrestling and then a dagger to the armor weak spot. The Japanese invented Jiu-Jitsu for a reason and if you read all HEMA treaties and documents, when it comes to armor, it’s either specialized weapons or wrestling with daggers ready.
How did i never know this sport existed ?? Needs to b recommended to any men or boys ,of all ages dreamed of this and could watch it for hours
Ya, I found out about it quite a few years back, most people believe its for stereotypical nerds and I've heard a lotta people call the sport "larping", which, I think, causes a bit of a stigma which keeps it underground. I used to play baseball and football in highschool, I have done Krav Maga and Boxing, but once I found out about HEMA, I was all in, I love it.
do they get paid for these?
HAHAHA. This isn't it. This is a pale imitation of a grand sport. Well, actually, that's mean to the samurai. He did fine. Decent parries and ripostes. The "knight" was um, well, let's just say he didn't represent HEMA.
@@TedBundysGhost This is not HEMA though
@@TedBundysGhost how tf can people call buhurt larping while HEMA is a thing.
Needs some sort of impact battle-damage.
Lots of people in the comments talking about how they should stay or use maces, etc. the whole reason they’re wearing the armor (besides from fashion) is so they can safely slash with the swords.
When your weapon runs out of durability during a fight
Katana = built for speed
Longsword = maximum damage
in a battle of no one will get hurt. of course the bigger sword will win 100% 😂
katanas and longswords weighed roughly the same, and longswords can be used with a fair bit of speed
@@therapscallion64753 the katana is thinner proportionally, it’s evenly distributed along the blade, the long sword (in this case) on the other hand has more on the end allowing it to build more momentum and force like an axe or a hammer, katana would focus on parrying and taking advantage of weak points meanwhile this long sword is more of a brute force weapon.
sub and dub argument in a nutshell
i love watching people bash weapons against eachother while they dont get hurt
He needs to use Hiten Mitsurugi!
Dont call that BS in anyway "historical" ! .. has nothing to do with it. just two guys doin RPfight

Never have I been more hyped for a video and so thoroughly disappointed.

The samurai just casually picks a knight sword after his katana broke 💀
there no difference what he use, because he didn't use any technique . Video overall is stupid , just 2 idiots swing sword , like me swinging stick while being 10 yo

Hitting full body armor with a sword is a bad idea bro. They should've bring their polearms to combat.
¡Vamos caballero, vamos!
All he could ever do is stab him when he draws back the bigger blade. He waited during every chance so I’d say there’s no stabbing in the rules.. for gd reason!
Stab would be useless against a knight tho especially with a katana
@@mariuscatalin5982 Cutting is virtually useless too. Knights would end fights against other knights in a grapple stabbing with a dagger or other blade in the armbits, groin, or other vulnerable spot. Truly blunt trauma weapons such as a mace or flail can be effective in a fight as well. If left only with a sword, one that can be half sworded like what media likes to call the Longsword. Holding the blade and striking with the crossguard, or holding it normally except with one hand on the blade for more precise thrusts to stab into the before mentioned locations.
@@Watcher-in-the-Dark true
@@mariuscatalin5982 eh. Katana can thrust. Not as well, but doable. If you can get through a chink, it can work. But not really advisable.
@@Watcher-in-the-Dark Well, yes. The longsword. Halfswording wasn't really done with other swords.
If this was a real fight the samurais armor would get shredded while the samurais sword wouldn’t lay a scratch on the knights skin
How do you even know that lmao and probably not true. The armour was made for combat
@@logmang7888 First off, difference in steel quality. Japanese steel wasn't folded so often to achieve some legendary strength, it was treated so elaborately to make swords at all usable, 200% of the work to create 90% of the hardness. Japanese armor very likely would have become just like western plate armor, if they only had sufficient iron quantities and a feasible way of creating steel, unfortunately they simply had neither. As is, the harder material wins, and that is the European steel. Also up until the high middle ages all western swords were blunt, brash and relied on force of impact, whereas Japanese swords always were used to create flesh wounds through slashing. That goes out of the window when the opponent has plate armor that is impervious to slashes. The samurai did the best he could do and kept going for unarmored parts in the knights armor, but it is an uphill battle. I wouldn't go as far to say that the knight would make it out without a scratch (this is Buhurt, stabbing is forbidden and therefore not accounted for) but he is at a serious advantage.
@@qwert291 and he never responded lol
No it wouldn't and you do not go for the armor in a fight you go for the weak points that's what both warriors did.
@@qwert291 Japanese steel was not bad and Europeans still was not better, this is a myth on internet folding was actually a thing all around the world until the Industrial Revolution, that is also not true about European swords.
Something to read.
"Japanese Swords "Mythbusting" - Part 1" Gunbai.
What I like about this video. Is unlike other Samurai VS Knight bouts. These two stimulate that they are TRYING to kill eachother. In other videos they just tap blades.
O templário perdeu a cabeça várias vezes o que fez o samurais perder foi o material inferior da sua espada ou seja , pode ter a armadura mais resistente, mas sem estratégia, nada adianta.
A samurai was also an archer so his plates needed to be flexible. His advantage over the knight would be the ability to shoot the knight from afar
knights had crossbows
@@cherno8336 Crossbows weren't really used by knights themselves, the whole idea of a knight is to have him on a horse with a lance. Although in some cases knights also fought on foot, especially German knights of the 15th century were quite into that. But then they used things like poleaxes and long swords. It would be a waste to use knights who are highly skilled in melee combat as crossbowmen. But there were heavily armoured burghers who used crossbows, because in some cities the crossbowmen were recruited from the richer citizens who could also afford armor. But it was different from city to city.
I guess the point is: a knight has the primary military role as heavy cavalry with lances. So while their symbolic weapon was the sword, their main battle weapon was the lance. And it's similar with samurai. They are heavily associated with katanas, but their main weapon was indeed the bow. Although I'm not sure if a yumi would penetrate plate armor. See "MEDIEVAL ARMOUR TESTED! - Arrows vs Amour 2" by Tod's Workshop.
Lol gd luck getting through actual gd quality armour with an arrow, and both sides ended up using guns so theres that
The Japanese arrows would not be able to penetrate the steel armour. They were not designed to fight knights wearing steel armour.

Interesting fight. I always enjoy seeing contrasting weapons, armor, and styles of fighting.
I think the choice of the 2-handed falchion limited the knight. I could deliver devastating blows, but was not as quick or versatile as the katana. I longsword might have been a more equitable matchup when you are just counting the number of weapons strikes.
If the fighters knew jiu jitsu and ringen, it would be interesting to see how that would have changed the dynamics of the fight.
The katana is worthless towards basically any type of armor
@@abstractpuma Yee. Even some decently thick gambeson.
I'd say if this was an actual death match the knight would have rekt this guy
@@spiffygonzales5899 yeah for sure, but he would probably be better off with a spear or pointy longsword since that samurai seems to have some pretty thick armor, not sure if it's historical or "thickened" armor though.
@@abstractpuma that’s just not true but okay
@@logmang7888 it's not like the anime. The sword was not meant to be used against armor, or ever really. Very few blades can slice through armor (gambeson and tougher), and since the katana is very bad at the only thing that is effective, piercing, it's not really a good choice
Fencing? Bashing, at best. And how were they even determining a winner? I saw them both score hits, but neither seemed to register any (though I think the 'samurai' got in more blows).
You don't know what they are doing. These are counted blows tournaments, so the priority is to strike as many clean blows on your opponent as possible without getting hit yourself. This is an accurate depiction of a form of medieval tourney dating back to the 14th century AD. Some people in the modern sport have begun using Japanese armor and weapons because their primary training is with Japanese martial arts.
That samurai fights exactly like your everyday Orochi main
I can't get over how cool full plate armor + shirt outside is. Add a hooded cape and I would melt from sheer adoration.
Sposób kibicowania i to w wykonaniu kobiety pokazuje wysoki poziom kultury osobistej, pozazdrościć tylko takiej "królewny"!
Jeśli chodzi o sama walkę w moim mniemaniu była nieuczciwa, z resztą nie trzeba być spostrzegawczym i wystarczy posłuchać rzeczonej królewny żeby zrozumieć na czym polegał sukces tzw. rycerza, "napierdal#j po łapach" ot klucz do sukcesu, poza tym co to za miecz co wygląda jak powiększona maczeta i dodatkowo ta osłona na "łapy", która skutecznie przeszkadza w odpłaceniu pięknym za nadobne, krótko mówiąc dobrana para.
JAkby nie było, trzeba byćpod rażeniem faktu że ta atana nie złamała się pod ciosami. Obie sztaby robione dzisiaj ze stali sprzeżynowej, co tłumaczy wytrzymałość. Oczywiście wynik tej walki niczego nie rozstrzyga. W europie było dużo dobrej stali, w Japonji jak na lekarstwo, to i podejście do zbroi i broni inne. W europie rycerz miał cały arsenał do wyboru, w Japonji jeden miecz, może sztylet, chyba że był bardzo bogaty.
Osobiście sądze że europejski rycerz poradziłby sobie z samuraiem, w walce jeden na jeden, jakby sie przypadkiem spotkali, ale jakby mogli się obaj dobrze przygotować, wiedząc czego oczekiwać to już wygrałby bardziej doświadczony wojownik.
@@polfig7558 Moim zdaniem największą przewagę mógł by mieć samuraj jeżeli rycerz miał by słabe uzbrojenie, w końcu katana jest bardzo ostra, bez problemu może człowieka przeciąć na pół. A jeżeli rycerz miał by dobre uzbrojenie to zwycięstwo zależy od lepszego wojownika.
Co do broni samurajów.
Samuraj kształcony nie był tylko posługiwaniu się mieczem, a także łukiem yumi, jak również innymi rodzajami broni, jak na przykład włócznia zwana yari, broń drzewcowa o nazwie naginata oraz wachlarz bojowy tessen.
Ale najczęściej wybierana była yari, katana potem bardziej służyła na broń w razie ostateczności.
@@czarnakrew717katana oprócz tego ze była ostra była krucha , nie ten poziom metalurgi co w Europie. Mocno przereklamowana bron.

AH YES. The master of historical fencing. Who can only swing downwards? You can see the samurai doing deflectional parries and ripostes. but the "knight"? Might as well be a fucking lumberjack. That's not even close to historical. So please don't call it that.
The knight is all BUT masterful...

A weakness of traditional Japanese swords is the grip construction.
Because of the two-piece construction of the grip and blade, Japanese swords can easily break if struck at the root.
Well, if he's a master of historical fencing, I am Lancelot from the Arthurian legends.
That was one of the saddest displays of combat even if they were two 8 year olds in a backyard with sticks!!
Imagine how Jin, Lord Shimura, Sensei Ishikawa, Lady Masako, Ryuzo, and Yuna would feel if they saw this 💀⚰💐
Jin: "Kenji. Is that you!?"
Now imagine being in a crowd of 20,000 people all doing this near each other. Humans are insane 😂 good battle!
Except people... died. Not everyone on a battlefield was armored like a tank. People carried maces to hurt armored opponents, because as you can see, overhead chops are pretty useless.
I think the samurai wasn't safe enough in his armour, everybody can see his neck
I like how neither have any sense of defense, they just bonk eachother as much as they can.
Żałosna technika ze strony pana rycerza. Cała walka jeden potężny ruch jak cepem licząc na to że coś przełamie albo nie. Za to piękne punktowanie ze strony samuraja 😁
Ngl real life sword fighting isn't as cool as it looks in the movies 😂
Yeah. Heavy armor, low vision and 2 guys not knowing what the heck there doing.
@@NCRangerMojave tbh I doubt any of this went the way were seeing here either considering the way they recklessly exert their energy if this was a real battle those 2 would of been helplessly ganged up on the moment they show signs of exhaustion from swinging at each other like that hence why they always stayed in atleast groups of two..
@@NCRangerMojave I think they know what they are doing lmfao
@@erathen6311 it’s just a sport it’s not actually sword fighting. I think they train differently from real life sword fighting to sports
what are you talking about this fucking slaps
The fan really went wild at the end.
They stopped it right when the samurai was gonna tap into his inner power. After realizing that a katana can break but his spirit never
is it just me or the samurai doesnt know that he can also hit his opponent, not just his sword?
He was hitting the opponent bro.
@@logmang7888 the guy means that the samurai had no idea how to properly fight the knight with what he had.
Funny. That's what I think When I see knights doing the same thing in other video's
Samurai in the video is a wannabe samurai. Horrible technique 😂
actually everything is wrong. He parried and struck the opponent. He just did it fast. He doesn't leave his blade on the opponent, he draws it back to defend himself again. You'll see if you look closer. Try the beginning of the video
Samurai is still the top
Bro what 💀
Listen weeb, this ain't anime. A knight would completely demolish a samurai.
@@exisTxD not sure, an actual samurai woulda thrusted the blade in weak points like neck or armpit.
The Samurai would have had his sword, arms, and hands disabled in the first couple of strikes and then his head would be stoved in afterwards. Probably a sub-minute encounter, historically speaking.
@@robertAnthonyColon I agree
Cartoon fanboy: Katana was made of FoLDEd SteEL, it could slice the fabric of reality. It splits atoms so fast that they don't even have time to explode, they just cease existing. In fact that's the first and only antimatter object ever made.
Katana in real life:
1:58
Cut 1, cut 1, inside and outside guard. Finally some cut six’s, the knight leaving his head wide open and getting hit.
No pommeling or grappling. Then the katana blade fell off the grip.
I can’t say I’m horribly impressed.
The falchion is a cool weapon, but I feel it’s over represented in armored combat sports. There’s a lot more technique with a longsword, which would be a better comparative weapon against the katana from a technical standpoint anyway.
On top of all of this, by what metric does one assume one guy defeated the other?
If we disregard fighting with swords and instead use the weapons that each the samurai and the knight uses, I think it's really a 50/50 fight.
First, let's talk about armor.
Let's use the earliest version of a Samurai warrior as a base for the fight. The age of samurais started on 1185 which would mean the typical armor these warriors wear are made of strips of iron and leather bound together by silk.
And then let's also take a sample of a Knight of around the same time as the first samurais. The most common image of a Knight around that same time period would be someone after the first crusade. Take the Templar Knights for example. Most Templar Knights at that time wear chainmail armor with a great helm so chances are most if not all knights whether Templar or not wear the same get ups.
Second, we'll talk about weapons.
Historically accurate samurais specialises in using Spears and bows while on a horse. They rarely use the swords hence why the most common relic any old samurai families to date still havetheir ancestral sword mainly because it rarely gets used during actual combat so less chances of it being broken and scrapped. Katanas together with their smaller version (wakizashi and tanto) are viewed as sidearms only to be used if the samurai is in dire situations where Spears and bows are not available. Katanas are also used as more of ceremonial swords which shows the prestige or honor of said samurai holding it that is why most Katanas would also be decorated and made to be pretty but of course it still needs to be functional since they use it as a side arm.
Knights on the other hand can use a lot of different weapons (depending on what they mainly trained on but since most depictions of knights and combat manuals we have are about using swords then let's say our "knight" uses a typical longsword)
The FIGHT
Let's assume the fight should be a straight up encounter between the two. Both of them meeting up in a middle of a street.
Samurai would likely pull out his spear and brandish it at the Knight. Knight does pretty much the same with his sword.
Samurai has advantage due to the reach of the spear but the Knight has pretty good armor so he could probably shrug off a stab or two and close in on the Samurai.
Samurai attempts to expand the distance to utilize the advantages of the spear. And since the Samurai has lighter armor (comparitively speaking since it only uses strips of iron and leather as compared to metal chainmails) but then the physique of a knight who is pretty much used to fighting in heavy armor would probably negate the speed advantage of a samurai in lighter armor.
Knight manages to get close making the reach advantage useless and even becomes a disadvantage . Samurai realizes it and lets go of the spear and pulls out Katana.
Knight and Samurai duke it out using swords.
It's pretty much downhill for the samurai from this point onwards.
While Samurais do train in using swords chances are his Knight counter part is far more skilled in the arts of wielding the sword since most of his training are centered around using a sword. Add the fact that the Knight has superior armor, superior strength due to training with large heavy metal armors and at that time the Knights also had superior metallorgy techniques enabling them to make far better and stronger weapons and armor. Which can also be seen on this video where the katana actually broke due to withstanding the impact of the falchion multiple times and those are weapons that was made by modern technology. So one could only imagine how a katana made using the old techniques would fare against weapons made during the crusades.
I'm a fan of both but at the end of it all the Knights would still come out on top regardless of how the fight goes. Maybe if the samurai in question actually specializes on using swords then maybe he might get lucky and win the fight but that's all. He might win the fight if it's a spar but if it comes to fights to the death it would probably be the samurai taking the L on this one.
The knight crushes the samurai.
The knight was taller and stronger.
He had better armor.
He used a battle mace or a warhammer against an armored enemy, not a sword.
He would have crushed the samurai, and the samurai lacked weapons which could harm a full European medieval armor.
Only chance of a samurai is using his bow from a distance on a horse.
Now remove the armors and give them swords, things would change depending on the type of sword the Europe would use. But he would still probably win because of longer reach with for instance a rapier. A quick thurst and it would be over.
@@deepflake5851 totally agree with you. Even back then when the first crusade started, the Islamic States despite viewing the Crusaders as mere barbarians because of how inferior their technology in terms of arithmetic and commerce. They publicly recognize and respect the Crusaders when it comes to warfare sometimes the mere sight of a fully armed Templar Knight in a castle-siege makes them shit their pants and lose morale. It clearly shows how superior the European Knights are compared to Samurais.
Of course I'm saying this not to disrespect the Samurai Warriors but in terms of a direct confrontation the Knights just trumps them anytime.
