Here's a video me and a few armoured fencing friends shot a few weeks back at Teylingen castle. Although it gets really complicated to draw hard conclusions at this point, it does strike me that my Landsknecht armour set was pretty great for keeping me in the fight, but that most hits that did occur ended up being pretty serious. The full sets of armour were a little more protective overall, but hits wouldn't alway have led to grievous injuries. I'd be pretty curious to see if that conclusion holds up in the future. :) If you'd be interested in supporting the channel or are looking for extra content in general, have a look at Patreon: 0:00 Intro 3:24 Tom vs. Oskar (pollaxe and halberd) 7:12 Knutzzl vs. Nick (pollaxe) 10:47 Oskar vs. Knutzzl (pike) 13:59 Oskar vs Nick (pike) Music courtesy of #Messer #fencing #hema #Spear #Sword #HEMA #Historical #European #Martial #Arts #Historical #Fencing #Historical #Fencing #Westernmartialarts #Middleages #medieval #Martial #Arts #Martialartist #Instructor #Athlete #Fitness #Fightingfit #Fighter #warriors #knights #Swordplay #machete #technique #Training #lecküchner, #history #historical #research #swordfighting #sparring #context #greatsword #montante #zweihander #knife #dagger #moustache #messer
