How to Defeat the Dramatic Sword Clash ⚔️

Intense stare offs, angry shoving matches with swords... You've seen all that in dramatic movie or video game fight scenes, right? So, cinematography and dramatic elements aside, exactly how silly would that be in real combat? What would be good ways of beating the brutish push with techniques from historical swordsmanship?

If you've ever wondered about real sword fighting techniques compared to movie fights (or do now), this is a video for you. I demonstrate a number of options, with different camera perspectives and first-person footage to make the body mechanics easier to see and understand. And of course there is sarcastic commentary and some meme jokes in there too. :)
