Patreon early acess - The Knight Duel | realistic, non-choreographed medieval combat

Knight on horseback: Arne Koets (https://www.youtube.com/@airnt)Knight on foot: Dequitem (https://www.youtube.com/@dequitem) Men-at-arms on horseback: Katja Bergh Squire in red: Martin Kuhlmann Squire in blue: Jonas Schwetheim Cameraman: Lukas Alberter Arne Koets is probably a real knight, he is a full jouster, harness fencer, castle owner and of course an exelent horseman.We recorded this duel infront of the german castle Brandenburg in winter. There was a thick layer of ice on the meadow, so luckily for me, Arne's horse couldn't go into a stretched canter. The lance consists of a complete 4 metre long tree with a three-pronged steel tip at the end.A war lance with a spear blade would have burst through my visor and split my skull through my left eye. However, the three-pronged tip was stopped by my 3 millimetre titanium visor and the lance broke as it knocked me over.Even though I was able to land good hits with the sword at the beginning of the foot combat and would definitely have critically injured Arne if the sword had been sharp, he placed his dagger right under my chest plate in the melee and forced me to bend forwards and was thus able to bring me to the ground.

That was great! Have you considered doing horseback close combat with swords or maces?

Dequitem

That wouldn't make much sense, because you are in a disadvantages an horseback if you are stationary next to the man on foot.

Another incredible video holy smokes that must’ve hurt thank god for that shoulder shield! It’s pretty large though. Do they come in a variety of sizes? Is it better to have a bigger or smaller one? I really hope soon that you can do a joust fight on fairgrounds that would be amazing to watch

The lance hit my visor not the shield. One day I will film a horse fight, but mayby it's my first duel without me as a fighter. I can ride, but I don't have a horse. And Noone will rent a horse to fight on it 😅
