I'm gonna post this on the general list (rather than locked on the history list), because I think it's pretty cool. :) For the interested, some footage to two genuine masters of western martial arts (Tobler declines the title of "Master/Maestro," but he's one of the top WMA authorities in the world all the same) sparring against one another for fun in three rounds, with sword and buckler, longsword and spear respectively. Gives a nice idea of the "real" moves, as opposed to stage/cinematic work.

Sadly, the 4W meeting in Seattle is always opposite RadCon, so I've never made it over there for one. :(
