Sumo was samurai art

dig it

**literally with your nose**

technically peasants still had walking sticks and farm implements

HEMA isn't pretty.

Viking fights mostly involve two guys hopping around each other, trying to get around a big ass wooden shield so they can poke him with a sharp knife and hopefully kill the other guy.

Knight combat manuals mostly involve grappling and then jamming a sharp blade into the eyes, armpits, and groin.

Yes, but that why it was about singular strikes, and not like boxing

If you have to fight unarmed against someone without weapons, your first attack must succeed or you die

European armor was far superior to Asian armor, so combat was almost always drawn out. It was mostly about getting the other guy on the ground so you can end him with a dagger. Ideally in the eyes, armpits, or groin, because those are the parts that wouldn't be covered by plate armor.

what do you fuccbois think of this gay canadian's assessment of the
samurai vs knight vs viking debate

Weapon arts are usually completely different to unarmed stuff

tldr is he says viking wins

Samurai swords wouldn't do shit against European armor. Their spears might have a chance, though.

ooogedy boogedy i huntedded a chicnen adn nad egg

Knights should win

Comparatively, Vikings fight naked

Taekwon-Do follows many karate principles, except it focuses more on kicks

Note, I am not talking about the Olympic type. That is silly

Sure, they have some chain mail, but so do knights

Europe pretty much abandoned swords for mainstay combat, anyways, because swords are shit against plate armor. They only remained popular as a status symbol (expensive to make) and because they're convenient to carry (mount the scabbard onto your belt).

In the 1400s, most knight combat is two heavily armored people going after each other with big ass war picks.

Did vikings use gambesons?

Original TKD was for soldiers, and it was made within the korean armed forces in the 50's

TKD is shit.

lads lads lads

Handcannon that shoots tiny ninjas, BUT the pirate has several parrots

It's ironic when you consider that Europe could've conquered half the world in the 1300s, without guns, if only they had better ships. Japanese swords would have been useless against European plate armor. Amerindians didn't even have metal, so it'd basically amount to a knight swinging a claymore and cleaving people in two, going through a wooden shield in the process.

Handcannon that shoots myself

Handcannon that shoots itself

Handcannon that shoots hands
