Their next 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. Richard Marsden's book on Polish saber fencing and other books I recommend: US - Canada - To find a HEMA school / club in your area: Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: The first-person POV footage was recorded with a GoPro Hero 3 head camera, the rest was recorded with a Panasonic GH4.
