I believe that's Guy Windsor narrating it. He's a great fighter. I watched him have an open challenge to all of the other attending instructors at WMAW two years ago, and he fought one after the other, until when he stopped his ear was bleeding down his neck. He fought well, and it was great to watch.

Why was his ear bleeding- exertion or landed blow?

That looks like great fun  ;D

We have a little "squire training" game similar to pick up sticks. Each person takes it in turn to flip a small piece of wood from the floor with the tip of thier sword, as it falls back to the ground they swing at it. The object is to firstly hit it, secondly hit it as far as possible, thirdly to chop it, but most of all to have fun.

He took some blows that rammed his fencing mask against his ear-lobe on that side, and apparently split it open.
