    Did you see that half-swording technique?! These matchups are The Best! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Warriors, I Salute You!
  • Watching these videos really makes it abundantly clear thatbreal sword fights didn't last very long.
  • I enjoy every Weaponism episode, but this may have been one of your best I've ever seen. These exchanges were absolutely phenomenal to watch, it's so great to see two competent users of two different but practical swordfighting styles actually managing lengthy, multi-blow exchanges before a hit is struck.
  • The distance that he's come with his niten technique is inspiring. I remember when he was getting tired from holding the sword up for so long, now he's just lethal.

    Awesome duels, I love how everyone was learning and figuring things out the more this went on.
  • A very competent and fast buckler fighter. I can't say I have seen his half sword grip before, but it seems to work well for him when closing in most instances. Very impressive.
  • @shinomori69
    The exchange at 2:15 would have made any action movie proud. Great video!

    My new favorite channel for interdisciplinary combat experimentation and learning.
  • I enjoyed this quite a bit and it is great to see people pushing their skills like this. Messer and Buckler tends to stay in long point a lot, though, which makes his opening attacks more predictable than they need to be. If Katana and Wakizashi were to work on defending against thrusts, this match would be very different next time. Both tend to go only for the deep targets, though, leaving themselves vulnerable to hand strikes which would be disabling in a swordfight. Maybe it was because you guys did not have heavy hand protection and actively avoided hand targets? It's hard to tell. Overall, both of you are very proficient fighters and I would love to have a bout with both of you. This was delightful to watch
  • 1:47 is amazing, he looks like he is relaxing and suddenly your throat is cut, such speed and technique, damn
  • I really like that you keep going after landing a hit. It demonstrates the real risk of receiving a counter blow pretty well, even if you manage to connect first with a proper attack. And in combat with adrenalin pumping that's very likely to happen I can guess
  • @Hamond1989
    Excellent display of skills of both fighters! I especially liked the display of buckler half-swording that's gotta be some of the cleanest executions of those I've seen so far

    Yo I thoroughly enjoyed watching this crazy combo Battle soooo much, esp at 02:05-02:15!!! But for the whole time watching full video I held my breath! Not kidding! These guys are very strong and have great stamina. Thank you for this!!!! ❤️❤️😃😃😃😃❤️❤️
  • @KamiSeiTo
    Awesome, thank you! I just wished we could have the fighters thoughts after the match, at the end.
  • @CalebS1330
    This is the best match up we've seen to date on this channel, very well done.
  • @AEsir_Goji
    Now this,... THIS is a matchup I've been long curious about!
  • Wow! Some of the best sword exchanges I've ever seen, this channel never fails to amaze me!
  • I love martial art exchanges. It's always more excited to watch 2 ppl with 2 different fighting styles fight each other.
