Quoted from poster

"Have you ever seen a real European sword fight? I don't mean Hollywood nonsense and such.

Indeed it isn't less enjoyable and pleasant to watch than an Asian or especially Japanese sword fight.

These are actual traditional European medieval and Renaissance long sword techniques. Something might look like Kendo and such but they had been developed for centuries on their own. It is just a pity that they have almost gone into oblivion. Great to see them still being cultivated.

These performers are from Germany, Slowakia, Czechia and USA. Most of the text is medieval German directly from the medieval books:"
