How much does armour slow you down when fighting with a Greatsword?

Hello everyone! A while back I shared a fun little clip with Greatsword, doing some techniques from Dürer’s fight book. On TikTok, a lot of people challenged me to doing the same flow in armour, and that sounded like a fun challenge to be fair. The original video response on TikTok got flagged for ’dangerous acts’. (🙄), but let’s just turn this into an actual item with some commentary. So here’s my observations on how doing greatsword in half-armour can actually work just fine, and what that means for contextualising fight books. :D  If you’d be interested in supporting the channel or are looking for extra content in general, have a look at Patreon: Music courtesy of #HEMA #Greatsword #Montante #zweihander #spadone #bidenhander #battlesword #Spear #Sword #Historical #European #Martial #Arts #Historical #Fencing #Middleages #medieval #Martial #Arts #Martialartist #Instructor #Athlete #Fightingfit #Fighter #warriors #knights #Swordplay #technique #Training #research #swordfighting #moustache
