Best Fighting Videos

Dmitriy · Post by **Dmitriy** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:15 pm

Seems like there are so many fighting videos on youtube, it's hard to find the good stuff.

I'll list a couple of my favorites, hope others can post some quality videos as well. I'm hoping for serious fighting videos, the kind you would show to an interested newbie. Let's keep it to one-on-one for this thread.

Duke Uther vs Sir Brand, West Kingdom Crown, June 08:
Awesome energy in that fight.. and pretty well taped, which helps!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNW19Sc2L40

The 2005 Prova Dura video.. has apparently been taken down by YouTube (Gemini, can you repost with some non-copyrighted music?)
http://www.youtube.com/.....arrghh....

"Sir Legolas" -- Just pay attention when you watch this clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzdsSTdYwpU

Steel Fighting:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZR_kUFVIYU
The guy in red, Ukolov, is I guess one of the best Russian fighters.. this is a little one-sided. I think he's been watching SCA videos.. throws a mean shallow wrap to a guy's thigh at one point.

I can't believe no one has posted more videos.

Lack of interest, or did I just happen to post the best videos ever and you guys have nothing to trump this with? :twisted:

newb fighters love the Estrella video with duke gaston in it. Aveloc used to use it as a recruiting video. its one of the first things he showed me when I was new. was my second event. he said come to estrella bring your armour and I will take care of the everything else.

Greetings Sir Marcus!!

Great link. Thank you for sharing it with us. Good to see a post from you here on the boards. Maybe you are posting more and I just happen to be missing them. Regardless it is good to see your presence.

Take care and be well,
Brogan.

This was the greatest SCA Video ever.
Any chance I could get a copy for my own personal enjoyment?

Dmitriy · Post by **Dmitriy** » Fri May 08, 2009 4:46 pm

Great videos, keep em coming!

I meant to ask for specifically fighting, not intro for newcomers.. the newcomer thing was just to describe the activity level in a fight (not those read each other's tiny elbow twitches for 5 minutes fights, and not awkward-looking fights from the knees). But the overview videos are cool too!

More, more, more!

mrks · Post by **mrks** » Fri May 08, 2009 5:50 pm

hi Dmitriy

here is another fun one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSEsnNEN ... annel_page

a just for fun tourney fought to yield.

brogan... you made me curious so I checked... 1300 posts at .42 a day?(just click the profile button at the bottom of my post.) I am sometimes active... sometimes not. got hurt, married, moved and now finally have a shop again. going through my patterns is interesting to see when I stopped working. the last thing I was developing was a titanium mitten gaunt which I am agian working one this week.

The fighter with the conspicuously missing limb is from the Barony of Ered Sul in Flagstaff, AZ. I do not believe he is a knight.

Does anyone have any videos of Duke Jade's crown fights?

I've seen those 3-4 on Youtube but I know that there are more of them somewhere. I just don't know whom to contact.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thats the video that got me to join

. Think I watched it 3 or 4 times then called my friends up "GUYS. YOU HAVE TO COME SEE THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!"

Sinister_Theo · Post by **Sinister_Theo** » Sat May 09, 2009 7:59 pm

There was a finals in the Midrealm of Duke Dag vs. Sasha, IIRC. Duke Dag ended up winning but Sasha through an amazing shot while legged to win a round. I think it was in 2006?

THE DUCK. Pure awesomeness.

Also, when I saw Ulrivw's post, before I clicked the link I thought, "This is totally gonna be that stab that Gemini put on Sir John."

And it was! *wibble*

This is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr0QwJ6Lj9A

The second fight starts at 1:06. "The Shot" is at about the 3:12 mark. It is truly spectacular.

Edit: Damn, Raimus beat me to it.

Epic matrix dodge with a dick stab. That was pretty cool

. The dodger's garb is great though too. I want me a fighting robe.

I do try to be modest, but my video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7mWIK6Eizw

is the #1 hit for "SCA fighting" by number of views.

Though perhaps not the best example of stellar technique. It is called "Things Not to Do" after all.

Sounds like the owner of our local Tandy Leather... where SCAers hate to go because they'll never get out of how much "The SCA sucks" if they accidentally let him know they're members, or the story (EVERY time we walk in) about how he fights with a REAL 300 year old Scottish claymore but his wife won't let him do it anymore because of the one time he got stabbed right in his kidney but he was awesome enough to keep fighting until he defeated his opponent and .... well... you might just have to call and ask for the rest of the story.
