Thank You to Wargaming for sponsoring this video, they are really helping out when Youtube keeps under-promoting and under-paying weapon related channels.
This is a commentary on one of the fight scenes in the 2019 movie The King. Is it closer to history or fantasy? I take a look at the choreography, comparing it to what I know about historical techniques from medieval and renaissance manuscripts.
Interestingly there is half-swording but no mordschlag ("murder stroke") to deal with the plate armor.
