I'm not speaking to the qualifications or authority of this first guy, but a lot of what he is saying in the few videos here is pretty good. At the very least, it is better information that is supplied and presumed by video games.
Might be useful for RPers, I'm not saying we all need to be experts on real sword fighting, but it is interesting.

Outside of that particular guy and his charming sidekicks, we have some other videos that are pretty good. Like this one featuring Brian Blessed and an historian fighting expert, made by Creative Assembly to advertise Rome II Total War: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Oh i've seen some of these videos before, nice. Interested on looking on some more things!

I've found [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] very insightful as well who is part of HEMA. Of course there are many people about with good insight.

I know there were some other threads alike to this one though but can't be bothered to find them right now.

Enjoyable vids. My problem with vids like these is... As a total noob... I wouldn't have the slightest clue to what degree their vids are more accurate than other sources.
