Skallagrim sleeps with a troglodyte.
Fatty and hurt Skall vs fatty and stamina depleted Shad. Hard take.
They can fight ?they kind of , missed out of training for a long time.
Feel like Alber, or the Fool, is the German equivalent for Boar's Tooth.
@macavitythemysterycat Nah Alber is the equivalent of Fiore's Middle Iron Gate
Skall feels he has more skills id why
Skall. Skall would easily win.
If only Shad defended himself with his sword as hard as he defends himself online 😂
"Facing the most experienced larper" LOL. Maybe shad should just train instead of larping as a swordsmen and causing drama..
Interesting... interesting. With this video, coupled with the rare, but existing cases of people making spinning attacks work for them in sparring or HEMA, I'm starting to wonder what would happen if you took the "Hollywood swordfighting" tropes: "(Reverse grip, spinning attacks ect.) took what has been shown to work for them in real life, and tried to build an actual functioning fighting style out of it. What would this Reconstruction look like? What would its uses be?
Skallagrim, because Shad would be winded due to his condition
Whaat? Respectfully pointing out weaknesses of your peers and teaching how to train those? I can't watch this, where's the blood sports? /s
the music in this video was great
This might be random but would you be able to make a pinch grip work. Being able to swivel into the attack as an alternative opening. Just some thoughts
Hmm didn't think of it. I can try it sometime
That is a like.
Very nice analysis, as per usual, but I think it's very important to mention that the biomechanics of one-handed reverse-grip and two-handed reverse-grip are radically different, and should be treated as completely separate matters. There are a number of reasons for this, but perhaps the easiest to explain (though I'll probably botch it anyway, since I'm sick as a dog right now) is that when you're wielding a weapon one-handed, your wrists are free to rotate, and when you're wielding it with two, your wrists are constrained (ie, you can't move them without moving other joints as well). That means that the muscles that flex/rotate your wrist are the weakest links in the kinetic chain when wielding a weapon one-handed, but not a part of the equation when two-handed. _EDIT:_ Yup, I botched it. A two-handed grip will usually leave the wrists unconstrained on one axis of rotation. However, it's usually the axis that experiences the least torque and is typically controlled by the strongest muscles in one if not both forearms, so my point still stands.
You're better with word than I am lol
@@irrelevantfish1978 I'm not a great fencer, but for some reason when noobies take reverse grip on. handed sword, its much harder for me to not double with them. Something about it just throws me so offguard that they somehow double me. Same about spin attack, one guy took sword first time in their life, and while I was being careful tip toing trying to figure him out, he did an awkward spin and got me with horizontal slash to stomach lol
I think the beard is looking pretty good like this. Also lovely exploration of the historical showings here. Definitely seems like a sometimes option that's good to have in your kit.
Gonna try dual wielding saber and holding one in reserve in reverse grip. Mainly cause saber is practically always one handed anyway so having that swipe up surprise could be fun. Not thinking it will be good but dang will it be funny if it works.
Of the 18 comments in my feed so far, 7 could easily have been generated by a non-LLM AI.
@@comradebork is this a legitimate observation or just an insult
First time I've heard someone other than myself pronounce it "KAH-tah-nah".
This was good you showed new applications.
Your opponents are so bad at judging distance and staying out of your measure it's no surprise reverse grip worked.
Jeez give me some credit 🤣
Great video :D
After watching TONS of these kind of videos about “reverse grip” validity, think I can safely say that; “it” is legit as an ADDITION to your properly structured style, I.e. sneaking in “rg” moves between regular cuts n such. Which I think was what this guy was saying at the end, but idk for sure cuz “you suck” is a pretty stupid ending to a seemingly fair minded video. 😬
@jankarieben1071 fair enough lol one of my shorts got hit with a few "reverse grip sucks" and that seems to be a comment that makes it into the discussion a lot.
@@jankarieben1071 but the main anti reverse grip guy suck compared to this guy lmao
🗿👍
@@elshebactm6769 ⚔️🤟
I gotta say, your work here has best visual so far. It would be great scene in a movie, where swordsman goes against spear - he defends himself with reverse grip, luckily incapacitates spearman. Then has not enough time to reverse grip to normal or just don't want to for some reason and tries to pull of some of the moves you showed. To some, but limited success, then he feels that he needs to grip proplerly, as another guy turns out to be skilled too. Something like that. Not overly theatrical, not overly Hollywood, just old style fencing. Also, I hace flu, sorry for bad grammar.
@@VK-sz4it I get what you mean. Thanks!
Thank you! looks very fun to try
The impression I got from the vast amount of variance in Fiore manuals, is that Fiore believed one should be able to handle the sword all sorts of ways and remain highly capable with it. If my life depended on it, I think I would be a far more versatile guitarist. Perhaps if HEMA practitioners thought their lives may one day depend on it, they would be far more versatile too. I see an exciting future ahead for HEMA, as that mastery of the sword gets rediscovered.
Beautiful work. Nice to see someone doing the proper research.
Thanks!
@@Apperceptive_Swordsman I have one thing I would like to see tried out. A long time ago we did some LARP foam sword fighting at the office. I once picked up an extra sword reverse grip in my left hand, and I remember I was crushing it with that combo, because I could do same tempo parry attacks! I think that sword even had a hand guard, so the reverse grip sword became like a buckler essentially, with extra good leg protection. Maybe that could be a topic for a follow up? Is reverse grip better for a second sword in dual wield?
@@robertrenbris2334 Biomechanics says that in many/most cases, you're better off using a conventional grip for the off-hand weapon. There are a variety of issues, but perhaps the most important is that reversing the sword also reverses the direction of the torque applied to the wrist. That means different muscles are stressed, and in the case of cutting and blocking, those muscles are substantially weaker in reverse-grip. However, whether that's an issue or not depends on the situation. Light-and-squishy LARP weapons and LARP-ish rules? No problem. Full-weight steel weapons and an opponent willing to swing for the fences? _Big_ problem. Couple caveats with this, though. First, it only applies if the sword is being used one-handed and the rules treat doubles as a bad thing. And second, unless you care more about looking cool than winning or you're a hardcore Godinho practitioner trapped in a confined space with multiple opponents that all have less reach than you do, you'd be better off ditching that second sword for a dagger, buckler, or shield. 😉
@@irrelevantfish1978 Yes, I agree, but still interesting to answer the question, if it is better than nothing? For example against an opponent with just one blade? Because the problem with dual wield is that it takes some skill not to mess it up, and using the second sword in reverse grip makes it closer to a shield in biomecanics, and it can be used more passivley. For a person that is untrained at dual wield, but trained at sword and buckler, and suddenly for some reason has an extra sword that can be used, perhaps it would make sense? But still, practical experiments is more fun to watch than theoretical discussions.
Seems a viable tool in the toolkit. Excellent work bringing quite a bit of light to the matter. Maybe this will urge others to give the matter some more respect.
First! Haha yeah
😂 I yield to your right of way and parry
@@Apperceptive_Swordsman cool video brother sometimes it pays to be open minded eh? Reverse grip is one of those things like dual wield, or sword on back or whatever that people get waaay to excited about lol. Hey so you guys do test cutting! Cool I'm super into cutting 🤘💀
Matt Easton, easily. Both Skal and Shady are in pretty bad physical shape. Also - real combat is something all the armchair reenactment warriors cannot even fathom.
i love this concept - pretty well executed as well so far... granted only 3 mins in but the tale of the tape is a cool idea.
This was very interesting to watch tysm for sharing this perspective its rather changed my mind
Glad you enjoyed it!
Shad for me, way to smooth, skallwill loose quickly imo. Neither are swordsman and move through their core properly. With that footwork id say both are amateurs, and never had real fights nor sparing in their lives. Shad can actually weild a sword with speed. Ya cant fight properly nicely. With 2 hours of training shad i beleive could have him beating skall every time, i cant say the same vice versa, skall just cant use it properly yet, not enough years and too new to it. And martial arts in general.imo
Skall insta Ko's by throwing pummel
I know we have a lot of hindsight now but I can't believe you just glossed over that Shad obviously hasn't fought anyone ever at any point who wasn't a guest or cocreator on his channel
I might have mentioned it if it were true
@@Apperceptive_Swordsman I mean I just watched it now and your initial intro of the two is video of Skal fighting while you explain he's in a club, then you show Shad fighting an unnamed person while you explain he claims he was in kendo but we haven't seen it (to be clear you said this, "we haven't seen it", that's not my explanation). If you know more than that you didn't actually say it in your video. Like I've been watching Shad for years and I've just realized today he's never been shown fighting anyone besides testing some weird weapon against a passive opponent. I'm specifically looking for him fighting anyone for real now so if you have that I want to see it, but this whole video is just you interpreting from the same two clips, one of each fighter.
@RussOlson-pl3kf he faced people at a LARP event and members of a HEMA club who were obviously not cooperating with him, which is the main footage I used
@@Apperceptive_Swordsman Did that footage come from him? Like what I'm getting at is this doesn't really make sense. I'm a kendoka and we wear masks all the time or you can't fight. You said Shad trained kendo in Japan, although he doesn't really specify so you're not sure, but then he's only worn a mask once. That tells me he's never trained at all anywhere if he's never worn basic equipment. That's why the source of the footage of him actually fighting matters so much. I'm digging for evidence that Shad has actually trained or fought anywhere and it has to come from someone other than himself. If anyone has anything then I want to see it.
@RussOlson-pl3kf my guess is that his kendo experience isn't very substantial. He may have never actually gotten to the level of sparring. I have no idea. But yea the match against the HEMA practioner was an event that he was invited to, he didn't orchestrate it, and he claims it's his first time wearing a helmet with a longsword at least.
This is like asking if a man who’s never entered an actual rim g before could beat a heavyweight boxer. Shads footwork is dogshit, his body is unhealthy and is winded easily, he has very little actual experience, he’s overconfident and just wrong about fighting, most of his videos are him fighting his employees and it’s clear that they know nothing and just let him wail on them. Shad is a glorified LARPER, skal wins no diff.
This would make a fun match make it so😊
skall solos
Lots of Tech people I bet.
that's awesome man! 🤘💀 did you make a video while you were there? (besides this one obviously lol)
I took a few videos but I was more interested in enjoying the atmosphere and getting away from the real world 😅
@@Apperceptive_Swordsman Totally man I get it, especially if it was your first time going. Gotta just enjoy it and drink it all in.
Thats Really Great!
Skall all day.
Shad isnt real, he cant hurt you🦊
