Misconceptions

That" haudegen" or Frat Boy Sword fighting would be in any respect historically accureate sword master handling at all and the Witcher no CGI at all.

PS: Youi might want to try a stck first instead of a full carneval fit with fencing helmet and flexible thin metal peaces. Every journey starts with the frst step. First is bold here. Red? Underline??

And seriously. The team in its Dojo uses a special version of a Mid-Age long sword. The Germans called it Zweihänder, because it needed both hands to be used. The very thin bladed version of that double sided long sword is strange. Double bladed swords having two sharp edges or sides with a wide surface were in Asia used mainly in China, while the Japanese used one sided swords mainly. Renessaince Rapier were not develped in Asia at all.
The double sword actually had a way wider blade and was used by Templer knights in full body armour comperable to axe movements, just having a way longer cutting side. An axes long handrail made from wood was also way weaker than a long sword which could cut through an axes wood rail.
The Japanese long sword was used from a horse down, while the European Knights' long sword was used more like a Pike on a horse and in the brawl like fights of the Mid Ages in which the Knight Armour was a weapon itself the long sword was to keep enemies in distance before going down to Dagger and Knights Gloves often having spikes. European knights would use a by the Germans called Morgenstern weapon from a horse down over a sword. Knights liked to attack German or Teutonic Order bandits in the early morning ours on horses by crashing through their nests called posts.
If you mix an axe movement like cutting down a tree with those of a Speer used in close combat you have the movements for a European long sword.
The hitting of that Crew is still present in German culture among extreme right wing fraternities in drinking and violance rituals defining their status in their nest, aaaahhm, club.

For Thousand Years, dude. Rosenkreuzer and these guys.
