When Offense is the Best Defense (Longsword)

This should be a #shorts video, but the vertical format just doesn’t work for it. So a quick video in proper format instead. ;) This is intended more as inspiration for writers and animators who like to bring more realism into their fantasy settings, rather than an instructional demonstration as such. If you practice longsword fighting as part of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) you probably already know this anyway. *** Music credits *** Outro: “Highland Storm“ by The Slanted Room Records Used with artist’s permission *** Merch *** If you want to join Bonfire to start selling your own merch: *** Support the channel *** Help fund future videos, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: Want to treat your face fluff?
