Another quick demonstration and commentary about differences between fantasy sword fighting and historical techniques. Dual swords are of course quite popular for style, and although the use of two full sized blades is rare in historical European martial arts it did occur. It's more challenging to learn but can be useful against a single weapon (although not as useful as sword & shield in my opinion).
