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.

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.

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

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.

This has got to be my favorite video ever. I use it constantly as an example of what a real sword fight looks like

I always come back to this video. It’s like a dance between two perfect partners. The sportsmanship, the technique, the visible joy and yet holding nothing back in your swift actions. It’s as if you were made for this, like your blades are no more than extensions of yourself. Bravo

Memories broken
The truth goes unspoken
I’ve even forgotten my name
I don’t know the season
Or what is the reason
I’m standing here holding my blade
A desolate place
Without any trace
It’s only the cold wind I feel
It’s me that I spite
As I stand up and fight
The only thing I know for real
There will be blood-shed
The man in the mirror nods his head
The only one left
Will ride upon the dragon’s back
Because the mountains don’t give back what they take
Oh no
There will be blood-shed
It’s the only thing I’ve ever known
Losing my identity
Wondering have I gone insane
To find the truth in front of me
I must climb this mountain range
Looking downward from this deadly height
And never realizing why I fight

I've gone down a sword fighting rabbit hole and I'm loving it. This is so dang cool!

My dude literally hit him with the "Well, what are you waiting for" in real combat, and got a hit for it. Absolute legend
