I don't comment often, but wanted to say I really enjoy these sparring videos when you break down the action (with technique context). It's especially effective when it ties in with a previous video (like your "lean" video). The "theory" & "practice" pairing is highly educational. I realize time is a major limiting factor, but video trilogies of a weapon (history, cutting, reviews ect) that you tie in with technique (for that weapon) and sparring (with the weapon) videos would be awesome. It might also help you get the most videos out of your sparring time (in this example, longsword and highland broadsword would've been 2 videos, but could've been edited to include longsword from a previous session, for example).
I, for one, very much enjoy these sparring videos. Being someone who is still a beginner in HEMA, it provides some excellent insight into what a sparring match should look like. Keep up the good work, and I hope all is going well with the move!
These are the best. Especially because this kind is so much rare on youtube.
Shame these videos aren't as popular.
I always find them quite entertaining
I really respect Skall for pinpointing his mistakes when he makes them, he does himself no unfair favours when he easily could, he tells it like it is and he should be commended
The best way to learn is to analyse your own mistakes, as well as recognize what you did right.
@@davidvondoom2853 exactly
With most beginner students, I have to remind them to 'throw more than one'; that is to say, to get out there and throw combos of attacks, put your cuts together and perform multiple attacks in quick succession.
For you, I would say 'throw more than two'; I'm noticing that after your second attack is deflected/blocked, you freeze, back up, and in doing so, move right into all of your partner's attack angles. If you mean to escape after your second attack, cut to the outside angle and step off line when you retreat, do not simply backpedal.
Thank u for recommendations for Skall - it is usefull for such novice as me to read analysis of someone's mistakes. Thanks again.
I like the sparring videos.
I’m also glad that you evaluate your skills based on reality.
Real fighting.
Edge alignment.
Superficial versus dangerous cuts.
Edge alignment is pretty bad here though. But thats a gloves thing...
Awesome video, it's a bit unfortunate this kind of videos are gonna become more rare as you move to your new house
You mean his 'new' house. Not his 'now' house. I mean, it'll be his 'now' house when he gets there, but that's in the future so it's his 'then' house now, and then it'll be his 'now' house.
@@howdoilogin Yes, I meant "new". Probably got screwed by autocorrect.
Living room? Durr!
I think he said there's a HEMA school up near his new house
Sparring footage with commentary is enjoyable. 👍 I think the length is good too. Mostly snippets/highlights maybe.
Commentary is always appreciated.
Also *3* times a week.. I wish I could practice that much
Thank you for doing all this viking videos😁 keep up the good work
Well, this really isn't "viking" stuff, rather historical Italian and German fighting techniqes.
@@VeraTheTabbynx I know I was thanking him for all the viking themed episodes lately
He is one of the few who produce historically correct content.
I really enjoy these sparring videos with the commentary cause it helps me keep track of whats happening and i would honestly love to see more
I love these spar videos
2 men fighting each other with steel sticks, you'd think it'd look primitive, but it's just the opposite, especially when they're so well trained. Thanks sir, I think these sparring matches really help round out the rest of the crew's videos (shad, lindybeige, metatron, etc.) Always nice to see the weapons and techniques in action, and the modest and fair commentary just makes it all the better. 👍
It's always entertaining and educational to watch these sparring matches. I've spent a good chunk of my life with swordplay, but I always find myself learning from you. Keep up the good work!
The sparks around 1:20 made that parry so badass
I really enjoy the breakdowns of the sparring. I'm fairly new to longsword (done a couple of years of rapier fencing) so it helps to see it slowed down and explained
Yay sparring!
I know next to nothig to swordplay but i love watching these content
Some of my favorite videos from you are these dueling videos.
Always happy to see sparring videos
I enjoyed this very much! Keep these comming, mix em up a bit to keep them fresh and I think this would make a great regular entry.
Hey, Skal, don't worry, stuffs gonna be great man, if you will it!
Great commentary skall, I like the in-depth analysis of the different moves and the explanations behind the reasoning you had during the spar.
The detailed explanation of exchanges with highlighting is immensely useful for learning purposes. Thank you so much!
These sparring videos are very interesting to watch when you do the commentary and the slow-mo takes. Good stuff. :)
Incredibly beautiful to watch.
Great match! I really love the use of faints and counter cuts.
Love the slow-mo cuts showing where the hits happened. Its hard to tell at real speed on video when a hit happens.
I love these videos, there aren't enough on youtube
I just got my synthetic broadsword today. I'm so hype to use it next Saturday.
When skall was doing the single handed swords it looks like he wants to have a shield so badly.
Always good to see sparing vid!
I absolutely love these sparring sessions. Just gives a whole other perspective on the whole idea of long sword fighting that the media/game show.
My favorite kind of video to see from you!
I really enjoy this sparring video. I learn a lot this time
more sparring footage, hell yeah.
I love these sparring videos. Lots of good tutelage :)
Yes! Sparring!
Great video. Always enjoy the sparring and your commentary
Damn this was very entertaining to watch + the excellent commentary. Thanks m8.
We need more of this type of video
I remember a video a few years back in which you said that in one handed sword combat you like to put your fist over your heart so there’s extra protection there. Cool to see that you’re still using that :D
Fantastic video. Gotta love sparring videos.
Love these sparring videos
I truly enjoy the sparring videos especially with the analyses and commentary. Great editing, great video Skall
This was incredibly entertaining to watch. The exchanges between the both of you and the analytical commentary you provide are very cool!
Yes! More please!
Nice sparring all around! Good to see you haven’t gotten too rusty! :)
Love your sparing videos
Sparring videos are always epic and also educational 😎😎👍👍👍
I really enjoyed this video! However I do have one tip that may help in future sparring matches:
Unscrew the pommel and throw it at him vigorously, that's sure to end him rightly ;)
I love these videos, keep them coming!
Absolutely love these videos. Keep it up.
More of this please!!
These are always my favorite videos from this channel
Impressive to see how minute movements tip each scale, and the learning y each of the fighters.
YAY MORE SPARRING 😍
One friend of mine told me a little secret about parrying. Maybe you can use it. Always try to thrust to the neck, when you feel that you must move back, instead of go back, try to thrust to the neck. When I find my rithym I got a really good kill shots, really good video and thank you very much for make it happen, thanks to you the World can have a taste of this sport.
Always happy to see more sparring footage
Great video, as always! These sparring video's are very enjoyable, especially with the voice-over and slow-motion!
Great sparing and comments ، keep up the good work
Damn. That Thrust to the Throat was pretty DEEP.
Thanks been missing this content
Very nice video. Good length for this type, excellent commentary.
More of that please!!!
I really enjoy watching sparring. I' d really like to see more of it
This was really cool dude, I don't normally watch the sparring videos, but this one was well put together with good slow-mo reviews and really nice commentary
Sparring videos are always awesome!
Love these videos.
Great video. I do really enjoy the sparring + commentary type videos.
This was a very interesting video to watch. Good job!
I love these videos!!
Good footwork makes the dream work. :)
Quite a good vid! very entertaining!
Thank you.
Great footage & commentary!
Really nice videos indeed - some time to get away from popculture comparisons and just get in depth explanations on what went right or wrong.
Also sparks in sparring are always super cool :D Sometimes when someone scrapes my mask i can immediately smell the burnt metal. its awesome
I'd like to see more sparing like this
fights like this look way cooler then the hollywood fights
I like these videos. I don't have a HEMA club near me. So the best I can get is to watch YT sword guys and emulate with my punching bag.
sparring with commentary is much, much more enjoyable, i can really learn something here (sad that it's only theoretically, still better than nothing)
I've missed these
It looks better then the movie fights, no joke.
Really good sparring! :D
Keep these videos coming
Ah, really nice to see. Some neat exchanges.
I enjoyed this video. Please do more video like this.
I really like these types of videos, hope the move goes well.
Love the sparring videos. Damn, your game has improved, Skall! I hope you find a good club in Nova Scotia.
In a live chat he said there is none, so he have to form one.
Awesome!
I like these alot with commentary.
I sure wish Baton Rouge Louisiana had something like this.
Really good video. Great commentary with informative nomenclature. Love&Blessings
I very much enjoy these! First thing I watched after work! Too bad my nearest HEMA school is over an hour away :/
he is a viking that traveled in time
Good sparring footage
Nice! Especially like the combos off of the thrust as, being tall, I generally like to maximize my reach advantage and it's nice to see some longsword options.
1:34 "I threw a schilhao variation to the arm"
Skall's way to say "I did a thingie".
More sparring please!
Beautiful European Heritage here
Really interesting!
Hi from Denmark. Can you plz make more of these kinds of videos. They are really interesting!!
