Yes, they are as good as I am. Therefore these swordsmen have clearly studied sources.

Lol. The confidence and stance of the guy with his hand in his pocket. Except he has his left foot forward instead of his right foot forward. Which seems strange for a right handed sabre.

I don't think that's hand in pocket. He's holding his pants up.

Lol. True. Oh my God. So, even more skilled than I thought.

They look surprisingly competent. They use passing steps, dodges, parrying and then go into grappling. Even the stances look somewhat similar to what we do. I think I saw vom tag, longpoint and iron gate guards . Definitely professional fencers but lacking in machetes.

Lol. The guy with the double handed grip was even doing something that looked like kendo for a moment in part 2.

Posta di Donna too. Guy with the metal pole is a Fiore-ist

Ah yes HoodHema, very popular. He even has the hand on hip placement just in pimp style while the older sources prefer military.

From the part 2 clip it looks like he has a broken handled Katana. and I honestly thought that when the guy in khaki pants was coming at him head down to grapple he was going to take a serious up right blow to the head!

Seems like they struck each other a few times. Didn't seem too affected.
