Yea that these are guys who know what they are doing is pretty obvious. Looks very good, altho a little bit on the "fast and dodgy side" for me, i like it with heavier armour and slower heavier weapons. But these vids makes me wanna try a light sword and buckler, would make a change from my 5kg heater-shield for sure.
Thanks for the inspiration! I hope to return the favour, maybe by flaunting some gothic heavy-armoured sparring later on...;/
And i wanted to add; having 30-40% of your hird women, isnt very historically accurate..;)))
