I did Kendo for like 10 years, there are a very rare dualwielders that challenge themselves to the task, and it is fucking hard.
The power of wielding a sword with two hands simply cannot be matched unless you have titan's grasps.

DUO WEILD!

If the blade reflected how heavy and tiresome it is to wield it, he'd lose

>heavy
All swords, even a zweihander, are relatively lightweight. Blades are thin.
>tiresome
He ended the fight in one swing, dumbass. Most swordfights don't take more than that.

It clearly does, though. And two handed swords are much lighter than you think, and basically emulate a spear that is mostly the spearhead.

real swords are floppy

>foam sword means it works with a real sword

LMAO, same retards who think a foil is the same as a real rapier

not training with a real weight sword means you're not building muscle strength to actually use it to full capcity, its like a fatso that hasn't swung a real bat or axe and gets tired after 1 swing.

But when they are good, they are fucking hard to get through.

The government doesn't want you to damage its property.

Checked

This is dope as fuck, but is this how duels really were back then? I'm guessing no.

Yes because there is no consent, there is no agreement to anything.
You haven't responded my question, how is dueling comparable to cold murder?

Swords are a gayass romance weapon that only rich royalty obsessed over.

Everyone used spears when it came to actually fighting.

If killing itself is bad you have to make a good reasonable argument why killing at all should be allowed.

t. lost to a swordsman

Many of those techniques can be cited in actual medieval combat books. Quick search for it will bring up a few of them.

Because two people should be able to decide how to live their lives?
Duels do not interfere with anyone's life by the way, before you mention that.
If you want me to explain why that is, then I am afraid I don't want to talk with someone so fucking retarded.

You could have found a better example than a silly clip from a show for women.

He cited a lack of mutual consent as the reason it was bad, or are you suggesting by analogy that sex itself is bad because rape is similarly considered bad?

This. Less people to brainwash into voting and less taxes. Even suicide is illegal.

I can secretly give somebody research chemical that changes his behavior enough for him to give consent to duel and it won't show on any drug test unless it's very specific and expensive one. Or I can falsify duel with paperwork and witnesses. You just essentially gave rich people permission to kill anyone anytime they want.

>you can't trap a floppy sword between two of your own swords
you woudnt be able to do that anyway with real 2h sword and its momentum

People would probably strongarm weaker people into dueling them and then just murder them. I agree that two consenting adults should be able to fight each other until a person gets knocked out/is unable to fight

I think Texas legalized duels with swords. Or maybe it was sword open carry. Based Texas.

HEMA toy swords are made to the same weight as their steel equivalents

>1lbs object deflecting 10lbs object
sure sure

A zweihander weights 5 lbs. 10 lbs zweihander was not typically made for combat.

Your fully equipped school of Historical European Martial Arts is waiting for your Sir.

>lbs
what is this? landwhale barbecue sausage?

I have a replica zweihander a professional blacksmith made for me. They are not 5lbs.

Only acceptable dual-wield is with a parrying dagger/swordbreaker

While y'all are going unga-bunga about the weight, the real key factor here is the length.
The zweihander prop sword is so long that his opponent can't even get close enough to touch him before the two-hander ends the fight.
This is why spears were the weapon of choice and not swords like video games would have you believe.
That, and spears are way cheaper and easier to make since you just need a pointy end, wooden or metal, at the end of a wooden pole.

What the fuck are you talking about? That doesn't make sense.
If that were the case then people would be able to do kill people no matter what.
Same for you, that makes no sense.

Pounds, you idiot.

Counterbased and defensepilled.

You just essentially gave rich people permission to kill anyone anytime they want.

They already do that you know, given a certain level of 'rich'.

Also, duels require both parties be equivalently armed and armored and have a set time and place, no rich person is going to try to assasinate by duel too many times for risk of inevitably running into that one autistic redneck weeb who 'STUDIED THE BLADE' while he was out partying and being a rich fuck.

Goddang when will I be good at drawing like that?

Women are not strong enough to effectively wield a bow made for war. Ive seen a beastly woman kill an elephant with an 80lb compound bow and that's like the lowest possible draw weight for a war bow. And a compound is far easier to shoot than a longbow or a recurve or any other historical bow because it requires no strength after full draw to hold. True war bows are around 100 too, and thats a lost cause for most men, let alone women.
I hate this meme of giving women bows as weapons. Women are much more suited for spears, longswords and such.

Trap is foolish. Use both to brace and redirect away from your core.

It shouldn't be surprising that a longer weapon beats a shorter weapon.

The point is however that rapier and dagger as well as sword and buckler can be carried in civilian self-defence scenarios while the two-handed sword can't.
It's like arguing that pistols are useless because assault rifles beat them most of the time.

The only kind of people who'd get training in swordsmanship would be knights and other nobles. Peasants wouldn't usually carry a sword and if they did, they'd have no training to speak of.

No, because the purpose of a duel was to let god decide rather than the individual skill or equipment, which is why people were typically equipped in the same manner. A duel between an armoured man and an unarmoured man would not have taken place. If anything, this is sort of "what can you do when you find yourself attacked by an armoured man" type of last-ditch attempt scenario. However, even then it's not very plausible because the armoured man has no reason to use his sword like that against the unarmoured man - he'd be better off using it regularly because his edge can harm him.

You would try, but he would be able to get the zwei up in time to deflect and then there would be you know, the rest of the whole battle.

Fencing manuals were often written for an aristocratic or grand burgher audience, but they were typically written by people with a common, often clerical, background.

To be fair, the whole purpose of that scene was a demonstration of the technique and for that it's pretty effective. If you imagined the other guy also had armour, it wouldn't be to far off.

No they weren't. Swords were cheap and common in most time periods, peasants could easily afford a sword.

Swords were so ubiquitous that they were the only kind of weapon that had laws for and against them - poor kingdoms even required every household to own a sword because the ruler didn't have the means to maintain an army, so the people were relied upon to defend themselves, defending the land by proxy. A few rich city states where the ruler had his own private guard and a big dense city sometimes restricted the kinds of swords one could carry within the city walls. Just like modern day cities with all their gun laws (and a shitload of crime despite them) while the countryside is lax on guns and shit is comparatively much more peaceful because everyone is spread out and the law abiding citizens are packing.

Spears in "actual fighting" were common among the rich states, not the poor ones. The weapon itself seems cheap to make, but the logistics of cutting, transporting and shaping good hardwood was almost as expensive as doing the same with iron, only with different parts of the process being more costly than others. You think a 2+ meter long straight shaft of hardwood was easy to come by? You don't know shit. You try and make your broomstick or pitchfork into a spear and you aren't going to last long.

Spears are weapons used in specific conditions - in formations with other types of weapons, tactics only an organized army with a numbers advantage could muster, and/or in very specific locations where the spear's advantages and disadvantages are accounted for. A few gate guards can retreat to the inner walls and stand their ground very well. A random clusterfuck of poor guys with short sticks in the open or some chump trying to defend the front door of his house with a spear is not going to do anyone any good.

Most "actual fighting" is started with a shitload of ranged options, there's a wall of spears, then everyone takes out swords and polearms.

Because it, functionally, legalizes murder.

Police find a man dead on the floor from being shot or stabbed with the weapon in the hand of another person.
He says this was the outcome of a duel but yet no one else saw this occur.
So what do they do? Do they have claim to say the duel was legitimate or not?

Women should still know how to defend themselves though. And for a woman that means having the best weapon suitable for them. Pistols and rifles today, spears and longswords back then.

Liar.

And yet we make modern infantry carry 100lbs of equipment

Doesn't matter if they're "accurate" or not, the movie is still set during the 2nd Persian invasion, including Spartans and Artemisia (in that webm) a Carian, during the 5th century.

stupid mortals

Catapults and ballistae were rarely used in field battles. Artillery of any sort was never a factor until gunpowder, and even then it was delayed until cannons were smaller

Sadly it was genetics, my father had shit knees and mine are even worse. As a kid they would pop out all the time, about as much as you'd expect a kid that age to be scraping their knees. But because I was young they'd always pop straight back in and no ligaments would tear or anything. But then when I was 15 it happened again, and this time the kneecap shattered, three big-ass fractures. I needed surgery and about four months of treatment and physical therapy just to walk again, and now for the rest of my life I've got bolts in my knee to keep it held together, and aging ligaments that get torn to shreds every time my knee pops out, whether it be from some cunt kid at the grocery store ramming me or just slipping on a puddle. I hate it so fucking much, and every time I wish they would finally decide to just cut my leg off and give me a peg leg. It would be less torturous than the real thing at this point.

get gloves if you are going to be serious.
Find a nice big open space and swing it, feel your body and learn through doing.
Try to be practical in your swings, try to be as fast/strong as possible, try different angles. Try to be safe and if it's a heavy weight for you not to over do it.
Muscles take a couple of weeks to do basic adaptation, joints and ligaments will takes months and upgrade/repair much slower.
Something to keep in mind when you are doing training that involves building up and stopping momentum of objects.

My motto was always that if you aren't doing it very often then you don't need gloves. But for anybody doing things regularly you will need gloves to keep the skin on your hands.
At some point I did sword training and my hands wore down to literally bleeding tier because the handle material was rough and the speed at which I was swinging always meant small amount of movement at the start of the swing, thus after hours the skin would peel off like with a cheese greater

Because artillery has never been overrun

My dad was a Navy corpsman. He always suspected something was seriously wrong with my knee, but my mom convinced him I just played too rough as a kid, and doctors never bothered to look at it too closely so they never noticed anything especially abnormal. Even now my surgeon tells me my knees don't obviously LOOK like there's something wrong. Like, no indicators they would constantly dislocate. They just do.

zweifags BTFO

because modern soldiers arent engaging in primarily melee combat, they move from point A to point B and use firearms. Getting into a physical fight is rare, it obviously happens but not very often.

But mobility in essence of war should always be superior to firepower no?

It's why Navies and Air powers decimate Armies.

Think about it
British Empire conquered the 7 continents as a Naval Power and was what kept Napoleons grand armee from ever touching the isles.
Spain did the same in the new world with their armada
Spartans fell to the Helenic Navy
Nazi Germany could not touch the Brits as a Army centered power.
Russians got BTFO by Japan because their Navy was trash in the early 20th century.

Its cause they can mobilize and move faster than any army or foot soldier. Theres not terrain or mountains to cross. No bridges to build. They have infinite mobility.

If anything we should make our infantry men be able to be all terrain. Jetpacks. Power armor w/e. But it needs to happen. Think Mobile Infantry

Yes, Navies are useful when you're completely surrounded by water like England, Japan, Greece, or the Caribbean Islands.

If you're say, Mongolia fighting China, or Poland fighting Germany, then the navy isn't very useful.

I suggest both to make it a memorable, fun, productive time.
P.S remember, if you do this your body will produce different chemicals which make you feel different, thus it should help you get out of the mindset.

lol, not intentional in the least, just normal clothes and just a metal rod with some taping over it

I wanna say something to people who dont get Kendo/Fencing.

The armor aside from the head does nothing.

It does hurt, especially after a few hours.

Nothing adult has a rubber tip, its a flat metal tip in fencing with some give since its usually an electric sensor, its still a small point going into you. Saber fencing is hardcore and its getting whipped by metal.

Kendo, while flimsy as well, its still a small point being stabbed into you. That said fencing is a lot more serious imo since its actual metal and the armor is nothing more than another shirt. Top Olympic fencing is actually extremely insane.

Learn 2 fence, its a very white and fun sport.

peasants don't own armor
nobles don't kill other nobles, they just capture them for ransom.

Most of your hand grip is on the flat of the blade, and the actual cutting power of the edge comes from either the force of your swing, or the slicing action (imagine how you cut meat with a knife at the dinner table; you saw at it, you don't just press downward hoping the blade with fuck the meat up for you).

You get the idea, find something you find "awesome" or fun, or exciting, then do that, in a safe and practical manner.

>I do have an old wooden kendo sword sitting around from my dad when he practiced, if that's what you mean.
Those are safe and your chances of snapping your bones or ripping your tendons or dislocating your joints is as minimal as it can get.
Either practice based on feel, or look up stuff, then go and practice it and variations of it. The only way it's fun if you actively think on how you are doing, try to be faster, more precise, last longer and so on.
And don't worry about "technique" too much at the start.
Both your mind and body and very "shapeless" as you flail around like a retard, eventually your body will get stronger and your mind will feel the bodys movement and it will improve naturally, the same way people naturally develop walking.

I'll try to explain it in terms you understand. You know how some dude stumbles into your dorm's Smash tournament drunk off his ass and spends all his time cracking jokes and having a good time and then goes home with that one girl who isn't the hottest girl around but she's kinda cute in the tomboy next door kinda way and you kinda had a crush on her but kinda didn't but maybe you'd really like each other but this dude just goes off and fucks her and then she introduces him to her friends and they all start fucking?

That's what it's like for varsity athletes when they go off to college and join an intramural team of some sort that isn't football. They do just well enough to fit in with the die hard nerds who are really into it while just hanging out and having a good time hitting on girls and cracking jokes about how much they suck at whatever it is they're attempting to do, like fencing, when they're actually performing at an acceptable level. It was like that for me when I joined the swing dance club in college.

Because you secretly like men?

It is genuinely boring. I see it as a chore. But it's still worth it in the end to not be trapped in a filthy decaying bloated carcass. Basic mobility is the worst thing to lose but when you get it back you feel like a real human bean again.

nah, it's about knowing what you are facing and knowing what you can do and being realistic about that
for instance I knew those wobble back and forth, and to some extent left and right so I could prepare for it.
never been injured doing that kind of stuff, and there is a good reason for that
most important part is gradually increasing the difficulty as to not make a miscalculation of the difficulty and your own abilities.

It wouldn't make sense for you to be swinging around a 20lb+ hunk of metal during an actual fight. You'd tire yourself out, especially if you had to fight multiple times in succession like a battle.

Swords aren't heavy dawg. Not even warhammers are forbiddingly heavy, cause they're practical tools that are made to be used.

>its to show it can be used in defense

>b-but I COULD have done this!
you don't prove shit unless its against a resisting opponent. Yeah in magical land my sword touching yours causes you to drop it and forces you to twirl around into my arms so i can slit your throat. In reality, that doesn't happen. Its just a shitty demo technique.

I'd put one in my mouth, the other in my ass and then spin around really fast

Okay but all martial artists drill technique outside of sparring vs. resisting opponents. You could just as well say boxing pad work is a "shitty demo technique."

Bullshit, I held a zweihander replica and it wasn't even heavy, even a manlet could swing that shit around like a lightsaber.

Yes, but then when it comes to actual sparing you basically stick to
>punch guy in the face and don't get punched back

For example. the main thing would be shit like standing grapples (fuck if I remember their weeb names) I've only done basic takedowns during actual sparring like armbars or a simple judo throw, I'd never actually try one of our super autistic joint lock techniques, because the moment you start, yeah you might fuck up their wrist, but they have another arm open to bash your nose in.
Same thing with jiu jitsu techniques, people see it in MMA, but in reality you can just pick someone up (180 pounds isn't that much for a full body pickup) and just smash their neck into the ground. I've simulated it because with a guy twice my weight and I'm hardly the strongest guy around.

Sure you can do the fancy stuff if you're flexing, but I'd never consider anyone who shows off those moves as "real" self defense to be serious (see akido). They're moves you pull to flex on people, or in the case of jiu jitsu, to abuse tap out rules in mma.

Either way, not all boys were gigantic war bows. Smaller bows, such as those you normally see in fantasy settings had their use cases as well. Calvary bows for example were much lighter than a war bow. In fantasy settings as well, you're not seeing girls running around with gigantic bows, you're seeing them with lighter agile bows that would be useful against lightly armor opponents. The part where armor doesn't work just applies to every weapon in the setting cutting through armor like butter.

#2 all the way. She has the least amount of belts

1 & 6 are absolutely the most patrician taste out there, if not you're a faggot and have absolutely poor taste in women.

Why are practicalfags so insecure? Not a single bikini armor around and your still talking about it.

cringe but also based and autismpilled

If I had a single wish I'd permanently wish away the existence of all ranged weaponry. Imagine armies and police forces running around with swords like the olden times.

Epic

There's no such thing as swordmastery, because anybody who did have any practical training or experience in sword play still got fucking killed in 2v1.

Part of the mastery is recognizing and not running into fights you cannot win, duh.

But sword/spear + shield could be considered dual wielding, since you use an object in each hand. By having a dagger + rapier you're mostly using the dagger as a shield replacement to deflect

Considering his lack of body fat the dude is actually pretty big. You would be surprised how fat can make your arms look bigger when you lift.

Also generally short sets of high weight make muscles that are large. If the guy does long sets with a more moderate weight it wouldn't produce huge bulging muscles.

Learn your shit

Wish there was a Hammer, so I'll go with the Axe or the Glaive.

I was actually looking at this earlier I'm the week and intended to start soon. Any advice?

Imagine having such a low iq.

Just go, people are friendly and will lend you gear. It will allow you to try out weapons.

Is there a single situation that would benefit from whirling around like a faggot on ice skates?

Suck on those quints, newfag.

Does something like this actually happen in the show?

OK all am saying is what would be the possible counter if you used a axe that was twice your size and spun around with it like a fucking beyblade, you would be fucking unstoppable because you have everything, speed, power, force, range and invincibility.

Fire crotch is most practical, Green crotch makes my dick hard, but asian bitch would be the best choice. Primarily because her sword is a fucking box cutter, so snap it and marry her 2ez.

Longer range is pretty much always better. The only reasons to go for shorter weapons are non-combat related such as concealment, ease-of-carrying, laws, weight, etc.

Because things don't work that way in real life. A semi-competent swordsman with a long weapon can quickly move his weapon and hit you before you can get in range.

>In fantasy settings as well, you're not seeing girls running around with gigantic bows, you're seeing them with lighter agile bows that would be useful against lightly armor opponents.

You'd see them running buckets of stones up to the tops of walls so men can drop them on the attacking enemy. You'd maybe see them murdering prisoners or enemy wounded.

Dual wielding fucking MURDERS your wrists. It's so hard to actually deflect swings and not just have your blade come back at you.

t. I've boffered in Uni

This has to be the most retarded thing I have read in this thread. No one in their right mind would assume that when speaking of dual wielding anyone would mean anything but wielding 2 weapons instead of a weapon and a shield. Are you really this fucking stupid?

TWO?!?

How fucking hard it is to use google instead of swinging your dicks at each other?

WHY DO WE EVEN USE WORDS

WHO THE FUCK MADE THIS SHIT UP?

no he can't, be quiet

Gotta go with the redhead on this one

Oh and absolutely the flail girl.

Because this is a play fight and not how things actually went.

The concept is the same, and that's why it was done by pasta eaters, the dagger is used to deflect incoming attacks and occasionally to strike the oponent (a shield would still be better, but can't be worn as easily and even a buckler is a dangling "plate" that's not as comfortable as a dagger) whilst the rapier is for attacks.
