Using a scabbard offensively (sword defense against surprise attack)

Just experimenting with some defensive maneuvers from the scabbard, inspired mainly by techniques from a Renaissance longsword fencing manual by Fiore dei Liberi. Defending against an ambush with a sword or even an assassination attempt with a dagger would of course be very difficult, and the demonstrations in this video are more for entertainment purposes than instruction.
