    His distance management is fucking awful too. And he seems like he just wants to show off the stances and moves without any knowledge about when to do what.

    He’s making a show of someone who studied a LOT of books, without doing much sparring. And not wearing the fucking protection matches that impression.

      I’m not educated in this but the kendo swordsmen looks like he knows what he’s doing. Decisive action only.

      The other guy not so much.

        The kendo guy leaves himself open and goes for strikes that would get caught / parried if the HEMA guy knew what he was doing. The hema guy keeps going for a zwerch even when it’s not appropriate. Like over and over and over again.
