So funny. The judges with their sticks too. Bahahaha😂. Thanks for posting this.

[@TheCombatCon]

You are welcome.

i don't know how this is scored, but the last fight it looked like that guy in blue was destroying the other guy, he was a fantastic fighter.

Big guy in grey's guard is kinda easy to counter. The "switcheroo" is what I would use (I don't know the name). Try to enroll your blade around his by the upper side. At one point, your blade will be under his, while your guard will be up his. His blade is locked at this point. Now, lift your hand high enough so his blade doesnt point at you any more and aim at his chest and charge straight at him.
I used to do this against people taller than me that used to do what this grey dude is doing.

De Ridder wore Yang out. He started out more passive, defensive, and used his Reach advantage. Let him come to him, and reacting, so Yang wore himself out. Well played! (I don't suggest that unless you have some sort of advantage like Reach, slope, or footing.)

Nice vid!. My only comment has nothing to do with the singlestick play: wearing a kilt with a polo that isn't tucked in looks terrible. With a belt, a polo tucked into a kilt looks perfectly respectable.

[@Psiberzerker]

The blue, and green also clash. However, that's not uncommon in Tartans, I can actually wear the Buchanan, and it clashes with everything.

Good

[@orpheustwin2572]

JUDGES! what do you see...

[@marcim5172]

Does that guy with the staff work ar Blood and Iron?

[@TheCombatCon]

Yes, that's Julian!

[@marcim5172]

Wow, that’s quite a coincidence

[@henryc7548]

This isnt single stick, single stick is scored by drawing blood. or breaking the stick. At least as a I understand it.

[@jeffreyenglish1815]

Wow. This is really lame. Is this a joke? Seriously. There’s a reason there’s no one there but mom and dad and photographers.

[@TheCombatCon]

Good one? 😂😂😂
