2019-07-16 10:29:23 UTC  

technically peasants still had walking sticks and farm implements

2019-07-16 10:29:40 UTC  

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.

2019-07-16 10:29:52 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:30:30 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:30:38 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:31:19 UTC  

Weapon arts are usually completely different to unarmed stuff

2019-07-16 10:31:21 UTC  

tldr is he says viking wins

2019-07-16 10:31:26 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:31:29 UTC

2019-07-16 10:31:44 UTC  

Knights should win

2019-07-16 10:32:03 UTC  

Comparatively, Vikings fight naked

2019-07-16 10:32:12 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:32:33 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:32:37 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:32:40 UTC  

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.

2019-07-16 10:32:56 UTC  

Did vikings use gambesons?

2019-07-16 10:33:09 UTC  

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

2019-07-16 10:33:20 UTC  

TKD is shit.

2019-07-16 10:35:12 UTC  

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.

2019-07-16 10:35:20 UTC
