Medieval long knife fighting was far more exciting than what I ever thought.

Enjoy

Really cool, but is grabbing the blade of your own knife with bare hands the smartest thing to do? The other techniques are pretty awesome.

Awesome! Thanks for the vid.

As far as holding onto the sword, aren't they poorman's swords? It says "european medieval fencing techniques with this typical german weapon of the common man", and they're probably not all that sharp, at least on one side.
And the pics depict gauntlets, probably mail, or reinforced leather.

Nothing like in the movies, eh? Sliced in seconds, if you don't know what you're doing. Smile
