  1. Nice video!! I trained with my grandfather's shepherd staff. I know that you mostly make videos with polearms, halberds and two-handed swords since you study the era from 1400-1600 AD but, is there any chance that you make a video with a two-handed axe or spear ? (spear not pike!)

  2. Why not make a staff out of oak? Is that not historically correct? Are there other reasons to not make a staff out of oak wood?

  3. I'm actually new to HEMA, it's actually awesome that the fact the martial art is more than just blades ( not that I'm trying to offend or complain or anything) along with this video, is there a book I can read to learn using the quarter staff?

  4. I'm practicing this with my walking stick because people can be very unkind and very stupid when they've had a drink. I reserve the right to self defence.

  5. Is hickory not a North American wood? How does that go with European Fighting? Wouldn't such a staff be made of ash wood or even oak?

  6. My most used style is Side guard bcos I can block upper thrust and lower thrust and my favorite is their lower thrust bcos if I blocked itI will eventually knock their staff to the ground and hit the head hard enough to push his staff and hit himself receiving half of the force damage… that's if your enemy is out of moves😆

  7. I don’t think these skills are enough to make me a badass protagonist, I think I’ll be the person who’ll get his butt kicked in the first 3 seconds then forgotten about
