Hey there! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed watching me get beaten up by a medieval knight haha! If you have any ideas for videos let me know - I'm always looking for new things to try, especially ones that push me out of my comfort zone 😁
I've been practicing this sport for a year now and have fought three matches with sword and shield (lost them all) This video was an excellent introduction to HMB :D The team I'm part of hails from Finland and our country has a surprising amount of HMB practitioners, which is awesome. I hope some day I get to meet these guys you were training with and also other combatants from different countries :D
Its no joke, you're basically go through the most extreme HIIT routine with 80+ pounds strapped to you. All with only 50% air intake due to visors (wolf ribs are for weaklings). For 2-5 hours on and off. Enduring claustrophobia and heat. Any but the most athletic people would be on the floor drenched in sweat and barely able to move. I go to the gym and work out normally, bench, squat, overhead, curl, etc, and I was unprepared to the sheer amount of endurance needed to keep going. Half of it is mental willpower because you genuinely want to claw yourself out of armor, it feels like a cocoon and you can't breathe. But you can't get yourself out because you're strapped down and it'll take like 10 minutes. So you need to overpower that panic with slow breathing and the warrior's spirit.
As a HMB fighter for the SA Scorpions, I found this video being shared around the HMB community and loved it! Glad I did too, because I love your content my friend! I have always wanted to set myself skill challenges like you're doing and find your videos incredibly entertaining and motivating to watch 😁
That's a big question! I'm pretty sure the list is endless 😄 However, as a short list of recent interests: learning to draw people/characters, 3D character design, sculpting and animation, snowboarding, sign language and other languages, improving my guitar skills, and a bunch of fitness / callisthenics challenges: planche, planche to handstand, walking 10 handstand steps, and finally doing a muscle up! It's a fairly extensive short-list, but there are so many more 😅
A bit of training and conditioning and you'll thrive, this is showing experienced fighters that are playing at their level so it's not so hard to get into
Anyone wanting to try something like this (without going straight to head-shots-with-steel-weapons) should try a Battle Game like Swordcraft. It's kind of like LARP, in the sense that it uses foam/padded weapons and gear, but it's still a fight (they do "character" events, which are like big camping trips of live-DnD, but their fight nights are fight nights).
for me i just had my first day of fully armored combat yesterday. although i only had one previous day of training for it XD i survived 7 rounds with the vets taking it easy on me. tons and tons of fun
@@AaronBarnesYT alright you seriously did good in that fight if it was me I'd just get on the kneww mid fight like" man stop why u tryna kill me chill who hurt you"😂 .....btw just a suggestion 🤔 u could try doing a stand-up comedy with a time limit preparation
I've taken away from football (USA) and SCA combat is the first blow is the most painful. After that I can take it better. You must maintain a healthy aggression and respect but go all in.
@@AaronBarnesYT if you want to try something new I'll recommend you to try Poi spinning ( New Zealand origin) they are supercool to perform and I think that it is shown in very less TH-cam channels. So they may attract people to your channel 👍

Thanks so much Reece!! Really appreciate your message 😁😁 what kind of challenges have you wanted to do?

Sounds like you’ve got some epic interests though!! Well you should definitely pick one or two and give them a crack for a month!
5:32 : we're in full character customization mode now
You bet!! Felt like I was in a game haha
at the start i felt like i wanna wear that armour and fight people, but then after seeing the intense fights i decided to back up 😂😂
Hahah yeh it was SUPER intense!! Such a fun activity though!

Great video Aaron, they are really interesting. On the road to 1000 😉
Thanks Tony!! Ahh slowly but surely creeping towards it 😅
Have you watched the movie role models? Didn’t know this actually existed in real life. Didn’t realise it was that intense too
Hahaha yes I have 😂😂 honestly neither did I! Couldn’t believe we had this sport in Australia either, because it was so fun to try!
Dude, this is the craziest thing ever haha!
Hahah it was pretty wild! 😂😂 would you ever give it a go?
I just realized, I love your narration lol
hahah thank you!!
