Expert Saber Sparring: Lee Smith vs Richard Marsden
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2015
- Their next fight: • HEMA instructors fight...
Impressive fighting skills at work. There is a reason why these guys teach historical swordsmanship.
This match took place at the Blood & Iron historical martial arts school in New Westminster, BC, Canada. Richard Marsden, co-founder and principal instructor of the Phoenix Society of Historical Swordsmanship, came for a visit to give two seminars, one on Fiore's longsword and another on Polish saber fencing. After the instruction he sparred with Lee Smith, co-founder and principal instructor of Blood & Iron.

YOU DENY YOUR WEAPON ITS PURPOSE
“Just getting started!”
Being a martial artist and always rolling my eyes when someone says "You can disarm a knife from an attacker", this footage proves you need to be Matrix level reflexes from defending yourself from a sword, mind you it's bigger than a knife, heavier to boot and expert practitioners narrowly avoid the barely predictable slashes. Now try doing that with something smaller, easier to hide, faster to deploy and attack with, yeah there's no way a person can disarm a knife attack. It great seeing each practitioner calling out a proper blow. Allows both parties to learn and grow.
The best defense against a knife is not being within knife distance. Fiore has a *FEW* grabs against dagger but even they're known as a sorry-chance of working, plus, Fiore is all about joint locks and breaks. If you grab their arm you might as well break it...if you've not died of blood loss from the 4 stabs your enemy has already landed.
Sword seems like a strange comparison though. I'd much prefer my chances against a knife than a sword. A sword moves way faster than any knife. A tiny flick of the wrist can make the sword tip move extremely quickly and unpredictably. And all the while, the swordman is at a distance out of your reach.
A knife moves at the speed of the hand and has shorter range. Now to be sure, I understand perfectly that my chances against a knife are next to nill as well, but there's the ever so slim chance you might get a chance to grap the knife attacker's hand and get into some kind of grappling, especially if he's just some guy that just picked up a knife and doesn't know what he's doing. And there have been rare cases of people surviving knife attacks like that.
The thing is, you can stop a knife, right? It's basically the same as catching a punch. But if you knew someone was going to punch you would you REALLY risk getting hit on your ability to grab their fist out of the air or something? PROBABLY NOT. It's doable, but it's just so hard that you'd never actually want to do it unless it's an absolute last resort.
The best defense against any knife attack will always be to just run the fuck away and hope you run into someone that can help you deal with the madman chasing you with a fucking knife!

Egotism kills.
were literally watching some of the best sword fencers in the world. The fact that they are literally trying to strike each other, but they make it look like its a choreographed movie fight: Absolutely legendary
They are?
@@kepspark3362 if you unga bunga smash them, you will probably hit them "fatally", but also you will definitely get hit "fatally". hence, the old adage of master swordsmen being more scared of untrained people (who move more unpredictably and with less self-preservation) than their fellow trained swordsmen
self preservation is emphasised over landing hits, they need to get an opening before committing to a strike

When the teacher and smart kid disagree on an answer.
underrated
liberalbaby the teacher is always right because
1. The teacher has done school before
2. If they disagree they are detentioned to oblivion.
@@comradekarlvonschnitzelste8218 The teacher isn't always right. He/she most likely to be right, but you gotta ask yourself a question. Do you truly believe that all 3.2 million teachers in the U.S alone, and even the millions in other countries are right about everything they say to their students?
Greatest artist who ever lived You can be a sheep and just automatically accept what a teacher says as Law, but I’m certainly not. Some Teachers are opinionated, remember people taught at a young age about thanksgiving, but never what occurred after? Remember that there’s some teachers saying global warming is a farce, and others not? So which one is right, I guess both then, since all teachers are right about everything, right?!?! Not to mention, college professors in states like California are mostly liberal, and preach socialism is the best economic systems and other ideas of that nature. When there’s no way of knowing that for sure...
I agree, you should believe your teacher, but it doesn’t mean every teacher is right about everything they say. It’s okay to ask yourself questions or heaven forbid, do a little research...
It's all comedy and jokes until the people who can't take a joke start an argument
I can't help myself not to imagine how extraordinary swordsmen were some humans in a time where this skill was highly appreciated by their society. Just try to imagine the moves of a Spartan or even better a true samurai fighting in a single combat. It would be out of this world and it's so sad that it seized to exist only to be substituted by fire weapons.

I've gone down a sword fighting rabbit hole and I'm loving it. This is so dang cool!
This has got to be my favorite video ever. I use it constantly as an example of what a real sword fight looks like
Depends on the type of gear and the fighters ofcourse, but this would be what experienced low armored saber fighting would look like. Although the dont use.their off hand, while in real life people would tend to have at least a buckler on their off hand
@@ri3121 I would legitimately love to see an example of what you find to be a better example if you have a link. Please and thank you
Starting to realize how quickly a real sword fight would end.
Yeah, imagine back in the day how it was for these foot soldiers fighting in all these conquests and battles. One wrong move, get unlucky once and you're a goner. I'm glad I wasn't born back then.
No actually . Its would not end up in this fast . Because usually people put on armor to their arm, torso and head . So cuts like those in the video would not kill . Especially if its a steel plate armor . Average conquest usually last minimum of 3 hours . Depending on the equipment and skill mostly
@@muhammadamirun3777 Sounds to me like you don't have a fucking clue what you are talking about, have you ever been cut by a sword? No. So shut the fuck up.
@@muhammadamirun3777 well not really, and it depends upon the place and time period of the world. if you're talking the middle ages, only nobles and land owners would have been knights while the peasants that would have been mass recruited for the war (take for example the english in the hundreds year war) would be wearing none to little armor. most of the time people in armor would die because their horses died, and they couldn't get up. it was not fast.

Was researching actual sword sparring matches to get an understanding of how they will actually look, it's super helpful to see from both a POV perspective and a third person perspective.
"they've got curved sword, curved sword"
"The Gods gave you two hands, and you use them both for your weapon. I respect that"
"Take care with those flames"
“Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll.”
"Have you been to the cloud district very often , oh what am I saying of course you don't"
"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee."
Contrary to popular belief, I ACTUALLY did search for this and am quite satisfied.

Now that’s a perfect video length
As a boxer I hear a lot of people say it looks easy, even I myself thought so before my first fight, but people fail to take into account that When you are experienced u can literally see untrained punch from half a mile away. So yeah basically I think a sabre which can be swung twice as fast as a fist with just a flick of the wrist is a totally different degree of skill. Kudos to y’all for the great sportsmanship too.

I really like this video, it shows the technics of real saber fighting.
I'm an amateur spearman, but man do I love sabers. They are so elegant and cool looking. Definetly one of my favorite swords.
People say that real sparring wouldn't be cinematic enough or "cool looking" but every time i watch this video i remember why i STRONGLY disagree.. The speed, the concentration, the harmony... Just wow. Very intense.
Well this is THE cinematic sparring, its saber dueling. Most sword fights dont look like this.
Not very agreed , but I understand
It’s not intense imo, but it is cool as fuck. Would look nice if done properly in a show.

Blood and Iron may be gone, but you can still get into HEMA. There are a couple of clubs and schools in Vancouver.
Out of all the stuff I see HEMA guys do in videos, this is the thing I wanna try the most. I've done foam boffer combat (Belegarth) and I've done Olympic-style Epee fencing, now I wanna try this.
I don’t know why but I only just realized how scary it would be to fight off someone with an actual sword and no armor.
