I have a feeling that many people fought more cautiously knowing there life was on the line, at least in some instances. We also know of instances where adrenaline was high or people would fight incredibly aggressively.

I enjoy every Weaponism episode, but this may have been one of your best I've ever seen. These exchanges were absolutely phenomenal to watch, it's so great to see two competent users of two different but practical swordfighting styles actually managing lengthy, multi-blow exchanges before a hit is struck.
The distance that he's come with his niten technique is inspiring. I remember when he was getting tired from holding the sword up for so long, now he's just lethal.
A very competent and fast buckler fighter. I can't say I have seen his half sword grip before, but it seems to work well for him when closing in most instances. Very impressive.
I enjoyed this quite a bit and it is great to see people pushing their skills like this. Messer and Buckler tends to stay in long point a lot, though, which makes his opening attacks more predictable than they need to be. If Katana and Wakizashi were to work on defending against thrusts, this match would be very different next time. Both tend to go only for the deep targets, though, leaving themselves vulnerable to hand strikes which would be disabling in a swordfight. Maybe it was because you guys did not have heavy hand protection and actively avoided hand targets? It's hard to tell. Overall, both of you are very proficient fighters and I would love to have a bout with both of you. This was delightful to watch
Excellent display of skills of both fighters! I especially liked the display of buckler half-swording that's gotta be some of the cleanest executions of those I've seen so far
I really like that you keep going after landing a hit. It demonstrates the real risk of receiving a counter blow pretty well, even if you manage to connect first with a proper attack. And in combat with adrenalin pumping that's very likely to happen I can guess
Same. Tournaments controversies aside, I fully believe the worst should always be accounted for in practice so that the one landing the decisive hit will always be in the habit of accounting for any incedental dying blows from the one they just mortally wounded.
Yo I thoroughly enjoyed watching this crazy combo Battle soooo much, esp at 02:05-02:15!!! But for the whole time watching full video I held my breath! Not kidding! These guys are very strong and have great stamina. Thank you for this!!!! ❤️❤️😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yep, it's the standard technique, and it's not just to support the shield: you intercept the enemy attack with both sword and shield, then use the shield to guide off line and control the enemy sword while simultaneously counterattacking with your sword.
I.33 has always been one of my favorite manuals. It was awesome to see someone who has internalized the techniques enough to be able to keep their sparring true to the style.
It's a great combination. BTW: it is also quite effective at close range and somewhat effective against armour. You can punch and hammerfist with both weapons. Plus, you can use the blade as a lever in grapling.
Рік тому+2
This is one of the best videos, such a great matchup!
Hopefully weaponism make a another sparring video with a rapier and dagger combo against a katana and wakizashi combo, the sword style/swordplay both swords looks kinda similar
Definitely a cool thing to watch. Course. Can you adequately test 'power?' I remember reading about Tesshu and he was 6'+ and he was aggressive and strong. Most martial arts and weapons forms cannot adequately rate against someone with tremendous strength/power. I remember going to a few Cheng Hsin classes in Berkeley, and the teacher would always say, test power on heavy bag. I can tell you from experience, first time I ever sparred, I one shotted a kung fu champion from China, who was in the movie 'Shaolin Temple.' If you know anything about those movie guys, from China. They won't have any of that stuff, IF they can help it. Power is more than an equalizer, but very hard to fit into a martial arts school/system. Teachers maintain trust and devotion from their students, because every student must be lower than them.
Tower shields are the only ones used in modern terms riot sqauds or raid gear and is a example of ancient weapon used today . Bucklers ofer little protect and smashing people with towers shield pairs as a effective duel shield and weapon .
Because speed is key in 1 vs 1 duels. Try using an small shield on an army formation, its not going to work. Large shields are better for war with other soldiers next to you with large sheilds, small shields are better for the duel.
Touching is not killing, not even wounding, assuming that you are wearing some protections. Must be good fun, but no incapacitating blows. Good skills, nice to watch but by no mean a true reflexion of what real swords and shields fights once were.

Did you see that half-swording technique?! These matchups are The Best! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Warriors, I Salute You!
The best part was that I didn't even notice he was half-swording until he had gone for the cut because the buckler was hiding his hands.
@@fryingpancakes8445wouldn’t holding the sword around the blade like that just cut the fingers? Or should it be assumed that chain mail gloves would have been worn?

Watching these videos really makes it abundantly clear thatbreal sword fights didn't last very long.
That and often neither survived.

Niten means two heavens from taoist metaphysics which Musashi draws many allusions to, the kenshi here is using nito (ni=two, tō=sword) techniques.
@@Ianmar1 how do you recognise nito from niten? as far as I can tell, 二天一 and 二刀一 are synonyms for the two-sword techniques in Musashi's school.

Awesome duels, I love how everyone was learning and figuring things out the more this went on.
Ya, will be re-watching this a few times to grasp the subtlety of what's going on.
The exchange at 2:15 would have made any action movie proud. Great video!
You can see that both fighters are highly skilled!👏🏻
My new favorite channel for interdisciplinary combat experimentation and learning.
1:47 is amazing, he looks like he is relaxing and suddenly your throat is cut, such speed and technique, damn

Awesome, thank you! I just wished we could have the fighters thoughts after the match, at the end.
Love the idea!!
This is the best match up we've seen to date on this channel, very well done.

2 mundos totalmente distintos se enfrentan en el dojo coreano hoy
I love martial art exchanges. It's always more excited to watch 2 ppl with 2 different fighting styles fight each other.
Hollywood thinks a swordfight can't look cool and follow practical fighting logic, and stuff like this proves them wrong.
Now this,... THIS is a matchup I've been long curious about!
Wow! Some of the best sword exchanges I've ever seen, this channel never fails to amaze me!
This is some of the rare video that shows shields actually gets used in a way that makes sense
That was such an awesome fight!
Competitive sparring with differently matched weapons should be more of a mainstream thing imo :/
Awesome video! 💪😊
I see that the ito ryu guy struggled at the beggining to figure out how to counter the buckler, but when it got used to it, it showed.
excellent skills on both sides, very interesting technique with the buckler, but I suppose it makes sense to support the smaller shield from below.
Yep, it's the standard technique, and it's not just to support the shield: you intercept the enemy attack with both sword and shield, then use the shield to guide off line and control the enemy sword while simultaneously counterattacking with your sword.
It's also to protect your sword hand from attacks so you can threaten them with the point.
This was absolutely amazing! Probably my favorite spar on the channel. Such interesting technique and the fight is so close.
This is one of the best fights I've seen so far on this channel. Great job!
That was absurdly entertaining and incredibly impressive. Such great exchanges and techniques from both sides.
I.33 has always been one of my favorite manuals. It was awesome to see someone who has internalized the techniques enough to be able to keep their sparring true to the style.
That's impressive, both are on the same level of mastering their weapons and the result is great.
It's a great combination. BTW: it is also quite effective at close range and somewhat effective against armour. You can punch and hammerfist with both weapons. Plus, you can use the blade as a lever in grapling.

I really enjoy all of your Videos! Please keep up the great Work!🙏🏽
Thank you very much and kind regards from Germany 🤗
I love the energy of sparring on this channel
This was fun to watch. Thanks for posting.
Your work is incredible...I support you in Thoughts
Awesome! Finally someone who can use a shield! Very cool duel, nice show of swordsmanship!
2:06 2:15 At this moment I choked on tea
2:08 that dodge was cinematic
Better than skallagrim’s slow motion elderly old man sparrings 👏
Okay, wow. Wtf did Skall do to deserve that?
Great fight! The buckler user got from sassy to strategy ❤😂
Love it that these guys are constantly exploring and learning new weapon styles. Maybe a new mma for weapons competition in the future?
Epic fights, congratulations ! Good video
This was all awesome skills, great job !
I have never seen a half-sword technique exactly like that before. I must had interputed that technique differently. Seems effective.
Amazing!! What a beautiful figthing!
Wow, great use of the 2 sword technique. The match was pretty even.
素晴らしい戦いですね
I feel that thrust in the Neck
Great *goodness* was that Messer's defense tight.
This is something to see! 🎉🎉🎉
It's been 6 days, and there's only 8.8k views.... This is criminally underrated
That was great! So skillfull fighters!
Ok, this is great, he is acturally doing real sword and buckler
DAMN this is savage
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
The Kendo Nito is really effective
Very well done!
This was so exciting I ate a half box of cookies during the video
That was spectacular
Great match up!
That was great 👍
2:08 that exchange was awesome.
Hopefully weaponism make a another sparring video with a rapier and dagger combo against a katana and wakizashi combo, the sword style/swordplay both swords looks kinda similar
Awesome
2:05 great moves.. Feels like watching an anime battle..
Lots of fun!
damn That sword and bucker thou!!!!
Just great.

Красиво! Хочется больше видео с работой баклером.
wow this was a good fight - I see why I have a likeness for the Buckler...
Let's goo buckler more!
1:01 was that trapping intentional? I gotta start using that technique!
Fun Fun Fun. Thank you.
thanks
Nice fights! I wanna spar with you too.
The man with the buckler looks like he doesn't care if he dies.
EPIC
I guess the buckler is best employed with straight arm extended and fully front facing, with a weapon used for piercing in the other hand?
Make a video Double kukri-Long Sirupate and short kukri vs Miyamoto Musashi ,katana +wakizashi
Face to face fight
Truly small shields were used by some great warriors such as Circassians and Sikhs.
didn't even show big shield vs small shield. great video but the clickbait is disappointing.
Hehe that's so funny video ;)
Good sparring
Because speed is key in 1 vs 1 duels.
Try using an small shield on an army formation, its not going to work. Large shields are better for war with other soldiers next to you with large sheilds, small shields are better for the duel.
2:54 for authentic swashbuckling
2:02
this some anime level shi right here
👏

Great fights. Eas the european sword a short-sword? It seemed extreamly short for an european sword.
