Infantry (bayonet) vs Cavalry (sabre) Sparring

Another fun test of the infantry musket and bayonet vs cavalryman with sabre. This method of static training was practiced historically. So this sparring either represents that practice, or the few moments/exchanges when two such opponents had come to a near standstill in a real fight, as was common in melees. As the cavalryman cannot move his ’horse’, we also limited the infantryman’s movement to a minimum. Obviously we don’t practice cavalry swordsmanship as a martial art, we study infantry sabre, so this is just a fun experiment. The first bout was fought between Rick (bayonet) and Nick (sabre). The second was fought by Jordan (bayonet) and Sam (sabre).
