There was combat? All I saw were lots of ladies with fire. That's like the epitome of medieval, right? :P

Especially if there's black leather involved. :)

Someone leaked info about my new harness!

Hmm I seem to be remembering a need for medieval calendar ideas

That would've been like the ultimate in April Fools' jokes, but we're way past April so it lacks the usual punch.  Of course Eyal is probably serious and is thinking it'll take off like The Ultimate Fighter did; noted the UFC reference.

Of course then he might be having to deal with this kind of thing, which I don't think he, or his contestants, are.

That is the only time I've ever seen the reverse wheelkick land a KO blow.  Perfect execution and the guy got back up in a minute or so after.  I haven't watched the show in years, glad to see they're still acquiring talent- but you gotta love the blowhards, especially when they get their comeuppance.

So I pointed out hat, given what we saw the fights must have a severely high injury rate. His reply was this

Quote from: Dark Sword Armory
We can't speak for the combat styles in general - to my knowledge, none of us in the company are members of Animus or any of the other groups involved, so we really just don't know. However, we did have one injury that required stitches during filming (an accidental hit to the head, I believe). Otherwise, there wasn't too much outside of the occasional bruise (and quite a lot of the competitors were wearing armour).

Kinda tells you all you need to know right there. Dude seems to be living in his own little world.

Yea, what's an 'accidental hit to the head' in a live combat art?  Or did he mean someone missed a step in the choreography?  Man...its like he's gone in a different direction altogether.

I don't know that it's a thread, Ian- at least, I haven't seen it as of yet.  Maybe Thorsteinn has...could be a FB discussion as I haven't seen it on AA.

The "Darksword" thread is unlocked if you log in to the HEMA Alliance forum. He didn't reply to the Misc Topics thread.

It'll be more like Mortal Kombat the live action series than UFC.  What'll be really funny is if it takes off.

I am not sure how he can defend it on the forum. The trailer shows a man with a torch swinging at another combatant... Surely not scripted right?
