From Gladiator to Braveheart, historical fiction MOST About Fighting with swords is kinda wrong, Influenced by performance art more than how people whos Fought Each Other With blades. Back to the Source , a documentary About Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), is looking to show people how it was done whos.
We Told You about this project last year when it was to Kickstarter, but the documentary is now complete and ready for viewing on YouTube. Or below.
Put together by Cédric Hauteville, it's a fascinating exploration of the HEMA scene, Which is right inside my wheelhouse, Being as it is a combination of sports and active Both historic research. Seriously, these guys are thirsty
for knowledge, and are Continuously Going Through old texts looking for
any new insight into the way Europeans used to try and kill each other.
But what's so cool about this Is That They find any stuff is not just
being put into a new book, like so much other history: it's Being put
into practice.
Watch the doc and you'll notice the difference Between Quickly
cinematic swordfighting and the real thing: current blade combat was
messy and nasty, caring less acerca looking pretty and more about
getting in some guy's face and sticking a sword into them using whatever
possible Means .
