Impressive fighting skills at work. There is a reason why these guys teach historical swordsmanship. This match took place at the Blood & Iron historical martial arts school in New Westminster, BC, Canada. Richard Marsden, co-founder and principal instructor of the Phoenix Society of Historical Swordsmanship, came for a visit to give two seminars, one on Fiore's longsword and another on Polish saber fencing. After the instruction he sparred with Lee Smith, co-founder and principal instructor of Blood & Iron. http://www.worksofrichardmarsden.com/contact.htm http://www.phoenixswordclub.com/ http://www.bloodandiron.ca/about/instructors Richard Marsden's book on Polish saber fencing and other books I recommend: US - https://amzn.to/2DYndPI Canada - https://amzn.to/2PXSyIo To find a HEMA school / club in your area: https://www.hemaalliance.com/club-finders Where to get HEMA gear and practice swords: http://www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: https://www.kultofathena.com/?koa=259 The first-person POV footage was recorded with a GoPro Hero 3+ head camera, the rest was recorded with a Panasonic GH4.
