I don't have anything witty to say today. I just wanna note this is one of my favorite shows of all time. Just for many years I had an itch that this channel scratches perfectly.
Or the guys from Man at Arms. Probably more realistic, given Alec's forge is in England. If they could find a smithy locally, Alec could visit it for the demo. I do like the idea of Illya teaching them the basics of smithing, though :D
@Crude Wildfire Yer, It'd be great if they met the professional and showed them a slightly crusty stick they made in their attempt. I think my favourite modern rogue moment was them calling an electrician during the lemon battery episode.
I love how sincerely nerdy they are about stuff and how nice they are to each other. They appear to have fun and also be really interested in everything they do and learn. And they treat each other (and everyone else) really nicely - I don’t see a lot of sarcasm or even real sass coming from them. That probably resonates well with people because it makes us think about those moments with genuine friends doing stuff that we really enjoy.
Out of the 70 or so channels im subbed to, this is the only one I legitimately get excited for each week. As always, another fantastic episode gentlemen. Keep up the amazing work!
This Channel is amazimg for many reasons: 1. Humor not making the lessons too serious 2. A lot of information with no time wasted and no too much unwanted long lengthy explanations 3. The questions the hosts ask making it very elaborate. 4. They teach to kill the bad guys.
We need a Patreon-Exclusive Munich and The Viceroy shirt: Two swords in Noire detective gear on the front cover of a 40s Pulp fiction comic. It's too good of an idea to pass up. If I could draw, I'd totally submit my idea.
@@TheStrangerous Did Brian loop you in on the whole Secret Door business? I kind of sent the URL with a typo and I didn't want you guys to think I was wasting your time with fake links. My bad---
I don't know if its been due to a change in editing, or if repeat guest have gotten more comfortable with Brian and Jason, but I am loving these lastet episodes. More personalities are coming out. Like I'm starting to feel like I know how Anthony is like outside the videos if you met him on the street. Same with Trever, and Bill Doran. It's starting to feel less like a Ted Talk/ lecture, and more of friends teaching each other cool things.
Brain is the guy who shows real good amount of interest to the subject ...and Jason is the guy who knows about timing (perfect time to throw some punchline ) and make us laugh 😉
@@proudtitanicdenier4300 No no, brain. He said it right. The brain is the guy that shows real good amounts of interest to the subject, and jason is funny. Brian is not. :P
I feel like it's worth noting that the sword being used makes a huge difference, for example the talhoffer is a fighters sword but not necessarily a cutter's sword. The sword being used at 14 minutes in is and Alexandria, very much a cutter's sword, and you can see the preformance difference is massive. You can also see in the blade shape and proportions that the viceroy is stiff and broad making it easier is it's play and geometry to cut with (it's a personal favorite) , and while the Munich is narrow it's quite long and stiff giving it excellent velocity. Also of note is that all of these swords are of a high end manufacture are in the 1000 dollar range, where a very serviceable entry level sword is around the 300 range. (The 300 dollar sword would also probably come with a sheath while the higher end swords do not, so you really do pay for that blade.)
FYI: Karl learned how to cut using a $300 sword and can cut just about toas well with a Cold Steel as he can with an Albion. Form makes a lot more difference than the weapon. Yeah, cutting with the Albion and Viceroy are lovely. But Karl can shred with the Munich too.
@@daynarowden I am well aware, but alot of people watching wouldn't be. I wanted to highlight to other viewers that these are exceptional tools and it makes a difference, also that high performance cutters are different tools from what may be best for an actual martial application, spears don't tend to cut well, nor do daggers and short swords, however they are much better tools for harm in general because they fit different factors better. Double edged blades are at disadvantage as compared to a single edged blade, etc. And all these factors are worth explaining to someone who doesn't know about them. My comment had nothing to do with Karl or his cutting, but rather attempting to supplement the educational process of the video and it's content.
It doesn't really matter since they're just cutting tatami. Despite the myth that it simulates human limbs/flesh, it's fairly weak. I've cut tatami with a dulled arming sword. I believe there's at least one or two videos of others doing it floating around.
@@blargkliggle1121 the best video I've seen demonstrating the principle is the segment John Clements did for the PBS ulfbert special, at least in my opinion. It's a great demonstration about how edge geometry, alignment, and form do most of the work. While yes anything would have got through, the traits of the cut are really effected when you look at the minutiae which is what I was trying to communicate, that and I was hoping to point out that equipment does make a difference, even if it's small. Buying the same shoes as Usain Bolt won't make me as fast as him but it's better than running in flip flops, even if he could still win in flip flops. ( weird analogy but I hope it made some sense.)
I fought whit poles and branches since I was 4 whit my neighbors for hours every day, for years, we had has base heroes and villains. We eventually started to bring different clothing and protective gear, whit lead to is being able to be more aggressive. Not long after we understand that our better protection was able to open doors to sturdier brunches and harder poles... Only after some years did we learn about martial arts, so we all thought about going for the same dojo/gym learn it but the majority were to different ones, We continued to fight every day and we started to integrate what we learned but whit the poles included. Only after 1 or 2 years we manage to do that efficiently. And at my age of 14 (10 years later), we started customizing our "weapons" and gears to better suit this. Now (age:20), we do tournaments every weekends, and we got 20 to 30 persons participating every time
I came to this video after watching the first pass edit because I needed to see how the start and ending fit in. You guys just ran with those perfectly! So much fun to see those ideas develop on set and then see how they turn out in the final product!
great way show before and after the instructions. the instructor gave great explanations and examples. you clearly had fun and i watched the whole thing exited, informed and entertained. great video, sorry for my boring post.
both their first cuts were good . brian got a horizontal cut wich is pretty hard and it bounced off just right. you could tell the instructor was impressed at their beginners luck
27:15 tho 😂 y’alls friendship is what makes this show. Anyone can be business partners on camera but y’all are just bros too, and it brings something to MR that you don’t find on most shows or channels.
I'm genuinely amazed that no one responded to you Peter! For anyone scrolling by who doesn't know, Peter Johnsson ^here is the swordsmith responsible for designing all of the beautiful swords used in this video, as the lead sword designer for Albion Armorers (a company that arguably makes the nicest medieval european swords in the world, at least for production blades that are made in limited runs). He is one of the most knowledgable and skilled swordsmiths on the planet. Peter, thank you for all of the great work that you do educating folks on medieval arms, creating incredible works of art, and letting people hold history in their hands. I've owned four swords you've designed and I look forward to owning many more. They have all exceeded my expectations.
(I should probably clarify that by "all of the swords" I literally meant all of the actual sharp cutting implements used in the video. I don't know the provenance of the various blunt feders used for the movement training and the partner sparring demonstrations. But most of them are too ugly to have been designed by Peter, haha.)
Old post …. But, Peter thanks for all the albion stuff. Amazing knowledge. You should do a yt video on every albion, run them through their paces, and show them off.
I like how early on in the video the instructor is talking about sword safety and to point the sword down instead of out, and then like 3 minutes later Jason's over there pointing the sword out in front of him lol
Just you wait and see what historical instruments cost. A decent lute can cost you 3k+. I could sell my gamba for 4k, and I got it second hand already. If you compare that to modern instruments, you can get a great guitar for less than 1k.
14:19 Actually, force is defined as mass times acceleration. However, acceleration is simply the change in velocity, which is direction and speed. And momentum is mass times velocity. So if the speed of light is the change in velocity (not physically possible, but assuming for the sake of argument that it is), then technically, the tail end of Brian's equation is correct. Power, however, is energy (which is force times distance) divided by time (i.e., units of energy per second). This concludes your basic physics lesson and video overanalysis for today.
This is awesome, and also very useful! I’m just starting up with the longsword and dealing with structured power generation so the tips and instruction here was very enlightening in addition to what I’m already doing. Also entertaining as usual!
It's interesting that we get to watch Geralt from Rivia learn how to use a blade! Seriously though am I the only one that thinks Jason would do a good Geralt?
Hey guys I've been a longtime fan of the channel and subscriber .I love your content but I wish you guys would make a second version of the videos like this that just gets right to the skill that you're learning and how to do it or the meat and potatoes so to speak.
I cannot believe how cool this show is. It's been one hell of a ride so far and I hope it don't stop anytime soon. All of you were looking particularly roguish and attractive in this one. But y'all should learn some fistfighting; Boxing episode when? And after that? Robot Narrator: The Modern Rogue operates innawoods. (Military tactics and combat in the wilderness.)
Happy to, it's always nice to hear from the musicians! When I listened through the latest Chillhop Essentials, it stood out as a natural fit for our regular rotation of music. It's a really excellent track.
Don't stop doing the things you do!!!! I really want you guys to blow tf up with subscribers so my mind rests at ease that my fav show on UA-cam keeps going on 😣
Karl Bolle is awesome. Your dedication to safety is admirable. Just FYI... perhaps at 22:54 with the sharp sword you don't want to be facing other people, lest your grip fail. I don't think Karl's grip would, but if you're carrying swords like milk maids the rest of the time...
Again, watching your videos it's very interesting and well, funny! It feels like I'm one of you with 0 experience and doing things like that. Very good videos, always!
Where I live in the county of Wiltshire in the south west of England we have a very deep historical connection with not only the Middle-Ages but also the Dark Age and Celtic/Iron Age (it's the home of Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circle after all). There are swords and spears and shields on the walls of every historical building. Generally the steel used in Medieval Britain was of vastly inferior low carbon steel, some are almost entirely made of iron and were almost disposable, single use weapons. The finest steel was imported from India, called Wootz steel, a crucible steel characterized by a pattern of bands and high carbon content. Indian metallurgy was renowned from the time of the Roman Empire, and blades made in the Persian Empire and across the east were usually made from imported Wootz. European Crusaders encountered Wootz steel in the superior weapons of their eastern enemies. The best Europe had to offer was Toledo steel from Spain. Crucible steel like Wootz wasn't developed in Europe until the 18th century. Despite the movies, swords in Europe were primarily long reach stabbing weapons. The middle and far eastern swords were curved for chopping. As much as I love the movie scenes of swordsmen clashing and parrying their swords against each-other in this dramatic Jedi like duel, it's a far cry from real Medieval hand-to-hand combat. The guy stood in front of you in battle would be dressed from head to foot in some kind of armour. Swinging your sword at him would of just broken your sword. Depsite them being sharpened from point to hilt, they were designed to stab from distance from behind a shield into the weak points of armour. The neck, the arm-pits and the flanks.
I may be late to the party, but if anyone from The Modern Rogue sees this. I would say your hand positioning and overhead swing reminded me of fishing, and I think a modern rogue would probably know how to fish, but if you don't want like a tutorial for the modern style of it, maybe there's an episode for a build for a cage, net, or spear that you can use. I imagine you don't want to show any harm coming to real animals (hosts excluded). So, work with it however you see fit and however you see fish.
Was fun to watch, like the guy said work on your economy of movement, and make sure that you dont overswing. It's not just about stopping the blade faster after a cut, the real error is not setting up your next cut or defense right away. Take a look at a few of my test cutting videos. You should be ready for a next cut before the test cutting material hits the floor. So that's what you should aim for for full fighting efficiency, if your water jug or mat hits the floor and you are still just standing there in a weak stance then thats not viable for a real fight. Hope this advice helps, cya.
When they go up and down with the sword like waving it up and down, I see that so much in anime when they practice it was so cool to see it in real life.
Hey Brian and Jason, this episode is awesome! I'd like to see, perhaps, a follow up of how those technics with swords compare with the ones of Olympic fencing. ;D

So now you've learned how to use swords surely its time for a blacksmithing episode right guys?
With Alec Steele...?
Or the guys from Man at Arms. Probably more realistic, given Alec's forge is in England. If they could find a smithy locally, Alec could visit it for the demo. I do like the idea of Illya teaching them the basics of smithing, though :D
@Crude Wildfire I think I'd honestly prefer to see them just try with a blowtorch and a $5 claw hammer. That's the modern rogue spirit.
@Crude Wildfire Yer, It'd be great if they met the professional and showed them a slightly crusty stick they made in their attempt. I think my favourite modern rogue moment was them calling an electrician during the lemon battery episode.

Thanks for putting HEMA in the spotlight, guys.
Glad you're enjoying it. These are (obviously) some of our favorite episodes to film.

Karl Bolle is awesome. Your dedication to safety is admirable. Just FYI... perhaps at 22:54 with the sharp sword you don't want to be facing other people, lest your grip fail. I don't think Karl's grip would, but if you're carrying swords like milk maids the rest of the time...
Seriously, this is totally awesome. I'm happy people are doing HEMA this way.
Not even a min in and I already love this ep too!
Great video, as another comment said, blacksmithing and cutting with the sword's you make, get it done :D
God, I fucking love this channel.
6:48 and thus a hero is born, and his name is Jason Murphy ⚔️
"Force equals momentum times the speed of light..." LOL!!!!!
Brians face at 8:34 when he realizes what hes done was priceless
Raw Power = Force = Momentum x C
Brian’s second law of science adjacency
Priceless 😂😂😂😂😂
been with modern rogue since trip tasting and devil pranks. could say this episode is up on my list of favorites
I love you guys so much!
Brian, you could make a great voice actor for the Joker!
Cutting champ casually strolls in with $5000 worth of swords
I love this video a billion times.
I can finally learn how to cut swords from a pro!
He seems like a good teacher
Holy crap! Carl's cutting is amazing!
Again, watching your videos it's very interesting and well, funny! It feels like I'm one of you with 0 experience and doing things like that. Very good videos, always!
When he said "it's dangerous to go Alone" when he lets then have the swords 😍😂
Around Christmas, that Terry Pratchett, Hogfather meme about "you can't give a child a sword" is THE MOST shared around meme of the whole year
“Or cut, if you will.” Line of the year right there.
Where I live in the county of Wiltshire in the south west of England we have a very deep historical connection with not only the Middle-Ages but also the Dark Age and Celtic/Iron Age (it's the home of Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circle after all). There are swords and spears and shields on the walls of every historical building. Generally the steel used in Medieval Britain was of vastly inferior low carbon steel, some are almost entirely made of iron and were almost disposable, single use weapons. The finest steel was imported from India, called Wootz steel, a crucible steel characterized by a pattern of bands and high carbon content. Indian metallurgy was renowned from the time of the Roman Empire, and blades made in the Persian Empire and across the east were usually made from imported Wootz. European Crusaders encountered Wootz steel in the superior weapons of their eastern enemies. The best Europe had to offer was Toledo steel from Spain. Crucible steel like Wootz wasn't developed in Europe until the 18th century. Despite the movies, swords in Europe were primarily long reach stabbing weapons. The middle and far eastern swords were curved for chopping. As much as I love the movie scenes of swordsmen clashing and parrying their swords against each-other in this dramatic Jedi like duel, it's a far cry from real Medieval hand-to-hand combat. The guy stood in front of you in battle would be dressed from head to foot in some kind of armour. Swinging your sword at him would of just broken your sword. Depsite them being sharpened from point to hilt, they were designed to stab from distance from behind a shield into the weak points of armour. The neck, the arm-pits and the flanks.
I may be late to the party, but if anyone from The Modern Rogue sees this. I would say your hand positioning and overhead swing reminded me of fishing, and I think a modern rogue would probably know how to fish, but if you don't want like a tutorial for the modern style of it, maybe there's an episode for a build for a cage, net, or spear that you can use. I imagine you don't want to show any harm coming to real animals (hosts excluded). So, work with it however you see fit and however you see fish.
This man has just managed to drain all fun out of swords for me
In Asian cutting tests, there may also be a piece of bamboo in the center to represent bone.
not really, that's super rare and I only saw westerners do it so far.
Was fun to watch, like the guy said work on your economy of movement, and make sure that you dont overswing. It's not just about stopping the blade faster after a cut, the real error is not setting up your next cut or defense right away. Take a look at a few of my test cutting videos. You should be ready for a next cut before the test cutting material hits the floor. So that's what you should aim for for full fighting efficiency, if your water jug or mat hits the floor and you are still just standing there in a weak stance then thats not viable for a real fight.
Hope this advice helps, cya.
Brian's Second Law of Adjacency: Raw Power = Force = Momentum x C (Speed of Light)
What a great formula - I'll use it in my next physics exam...
When they go up and down with the sword like waving it up and down, I see that so much in anime when they practice it was so cool to see it in real life.
There is nothing more badass than seeing two bearded dudes slicing shit up with swords.
Hey Brian and Jason, this episode is awesome!
I'd like to see, perhaps, a follow up of how those technics with swords compare with the ones of Olympic fencing.
;D
i love this stuff, always wanted to take in person classes but dont have anywhere near :(
brian was surpisingly good at this !
murphy at the end though :O
11:26 this is a writer's soul waking up.
