Your hearts in the right place but you're wrong on this one. The blades but looks thin enough to be light enough to be practical on a weapon wielded in two hands.

It suits the wielder here because alot of African trial spears have absolutely collosal spearheads that dwarf that one since they were mostly ceremonial or showy anyway.

I don't expect anything except for guardsman to actually guard. The whole point is to be a man that will be feared and avoided at all costs, and to be virtually unkillable to commoners and assassins. Just because you're HUEG doesn't mean people can't shank you in the back. You need to be HUEG and armored.

I work 9 hours days in a Deli/meat shop. I stand behind the counter for 8 of that. I'm not a fatass and I've participated in HEMA/recreational events with armor and weaponry before.

It's not that heavy. I can roll around and dodge/sidestep pretty fucking easy in plate.

Kingsguard also don't wear fullplate. They wear a kind of half plate, at least if the show is anything to go off. There's a lot of gaps, and the thighs in particular are unguarded except for some faulds. There's no armor on the upper arms either, just scales falling down from the pauldrons.

Literally and unironically don't know what's going on with anything to do with the Dorne storyline and I do not care because it is so boring and stupid. I literally use any Dorne scene to just take a few minutes to make a cup of tea then come back.
I don't feel I've missed any of the overarching main story at all for missing Dorne scenes. Everything else is still coherent

>>68887982
The group I go to technically calls themselves HEMA, but it's closer to a Medievel recreactional affair. Complete with ye olde clothe making and even brewing their own mead, it's a bit weird but I go along once a month to bash peoples skull in with an axe.

Of course, this doesn't matter to you, because you think you're right and I'm wrong. That's fine, /tv/ always was the worst board.

It has to be passed down in order to be effective. Because if something exists for more than 100 years and it still works, it's gonna be way more effective than something someone made up watching Jackie Chan movies.

> Krav Maga was invented quite recently, so is that not a martial art because they just made shit up themselves and called it a martial art?

The IDF itself says it's a personal defense training system. It incorporates Boxing, Judo, Wrestling and other martial arts, and it also incorporates weapon training, but by their own admission it isn't a martial art.

And they also say that if you haven't been trained in Israel by a certified Israeli instructor , you are getting ripped off.

The modern swedish military saber was written by a dude who thought that the old methods weren't good enough and designed his own system that became the new standard and was taught to the entire armed forces. So you can clearly create systems yourself. This has been done since the dawn of time. Your argument seems to be that you can only adopt existing fighting systems but clearly that is not the case. And obviously reading a manual and trying to do word for word what it says doesn't work either. Which is why people use them as a reference and compare different manuals to experiment with their own styles.

In general if you have to rely on someone else to hold your hand and tell you exactly what to do every step of the way you won't ever be good at anything.

Except the dude who created the modern swedish military saber WAS A DUDE TRAINED IN THE OLD SWEDISH MILITARY SABER.

There is nothing wrong with a motherfucker that boxed for 20 years and spend 15 years fighting motherfuckers in bare-knuckle fights to create his own boxing-based martial art.

Everything is wrong with a motherfucker that did a 2 hour class at a random macdojo or bought a martial arts book to create his own martial art. Which is the case of HEMA and the martial arts that pop up left and right.
>>
>>68889121

No no no. You can practice it all you want. Take the Russians. They are steadily developing a FUNCTIONAL system of medieval martial arts. They've even recreated Spartan martial arts. How? When they ask the government for funding, they sit down with experts, they sit down with guys from other martial arts, and then they spent the next 10 years waking themselves year round with swords and shields and spears to see what works or not.

Except they've been doing this since the 80's and there isn't a single one of them calling themselves an expert on the matter shit, they even admit they don't know what they are doing and that a lot of shit they think they got right would have them killed in actual combat with actual medieval warriors.


What you can't do, is play Dark Souls and start hitting your friend with a stick in your back yard and cosplay knightly clothing and read a medieval manual and think you are an expert then get together with other nerds and drink mead and roll dice and say it's a martial art.
