Cool! I hadn't realized these were on YouTube until I saw your post on Facebook earlier today. :)
I'm glad to see Cory and John's bout again. I'm always very impressed with the MEMAG guys. In fact, I've issued a "Martial Challenge" to Cory Winslow for Chivalric Weekend this summer:

Sir Edward:
I hope people bring video cameras to CW. I'd love to see some of the bouts!
I'm glad these videos got posted. I'd love to see more of them. You can see the bouts very well, which isn't always the case when people film bouts, particularly if the camera is statically mounted on a tripod without someone moving around to keep the shot framed well.
I feel I sometimes learn as much from watching other people fence as I do from the drills.

Well, for the "Martial Challenge" bouts, its a requirement that they be filmed and hosted publically. I don't know if you're familiar with those or not, but its something that started in the UK and started spreading. It began initially as a Western Martial Arts thing, but apparently is starting to somewhat expand to other martial arts.
The goal is that someone challenges someone else publically to a friendly bout. The two fencers then publically agree to the rules, who is judging, what equipment is needed, where and when, etc. The bout is filmed and hosted online for everyone to see.

Its kind of a fun idea, and since Cory and I have never fenced each other, I thought it'd be fun to do this with him with longswords. He suggested the Hanwei "federschwerter" as our bouting tools, which I agreed to.

Actually, I wasn't aware of that. That's awesome, I heartily approve.
