When Peasants fight with Long Knives: Bauernwehr/Rugger Sparring

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but here's a new full length sparring video for YouTube. In this one I cross (short) blades with Ulrik from ‪@die.freifechter‬ and MesserMinute. In the visual commentary, I try to compare both the physical and social aspects of historical fights with how we would categorise these exchanges within a modern HEMA setting. I hope you like it. :)
