Swordplay videos

Post by Venator »

For all those who pick blades in TSW, some awesome videos of sword mastery. Say "No" to hack'n'slash!

First, to get everyone into the mood, imo one of the best movie fencing scenes - Highlander series, Duende episode- final battle


How a real hisorical fencing looks like- swift and deadly. A lot of technique, but not much of beauty. Messer - German fighting knife, actually a short sword.


Equally swift and deadly, especially good example of "slow blunt longswords", huh.

I prefer the last two videos, personally. The second vid is actually a good warm up for watching the third vid... and that 3rd vid _slays_!!

Who said "slow"? :)
