Greatswords aren’t Slow and Cumbersome

Recently, quite a few people have been asking me whether you can actually wield a steel greatsword with any significant sort of speed and change the direction of your attacks easily. So I figured it would be cool to do a short video to showcase some different greatswords I have trained with over the years and compare their weight and the speed at which I can swing them. All of these swords fall roughly within the 2-4kg spectrum of historical examples that were intended for actual battlefield us.
