Love all of your contents for last 10 years! Just one thing for HEMA in general: I have not seen anyone in the HEMA community ever make Roman gladiators fighting/ reenactment contents on YT. I hope one day I get to see more of that
Glad you have enjoyed them. We have long wanted to sort some gladiatorial kit for HEMA type training. We did once do it at an event when a gladiatorial group came along and loaned equipment to us. It was really fun. Hopefully we will get it going soon.
@@Nautilus23 . WHAT, you mean to tell me you have nothing better to do than marching up and down the square? (It's a reference to the Monty Python's sketch...) you're probably not that old. And you haven't seen any of the videos on UA-cam!
@@Nautilus23. P.S. Ofcourse it can be a lot of fun, specially when you want to. It's quite another when you have to do it, but that's the whole point of the military, discipline. Getting the task done effectively and efficiently, even against all odds. That's what makes armies contenders in battle, the English, French and Germans mostly being the masters of discipline. There was a level of fulfillment when we would organise drill teams and win competitions. We knew then, that we were professionals and the best out there! Today is just a means of learning cohesiveness and discipline, also a means of fitness training. But back in those days it meant the ability of an army to survive in the battlefield. Learning to fight alongside each other meant that your life depended upon it.
Love these games. From your experiments how useful would be to have the rotellas as a front rank to the polearms to give them more freedom to attack without needing to defend too much? I know historically they were on the sides to skirmish and protect, could it be to also give more space to move around the polearm?

Nice practice.
We need these sports practiced more
Tis instinct to hold a polearm and fight in formation
That looks like so much fun.
Funny, it didn't seem that way when I was in the Army... Marching up and down the square....
@@tatumergo3931 Well they do this for fun

@@tatumergo3931 Well that's cool, I guess I can say thank you for your service.
