A VERY Basic Intro to the Medieval Longsword

This is a very basic introduction to the Medieval longsword. If you study HEMA, you probably already know these things. If you’re new to swords and martial arts, this will be a great place to start. If you haven’t watched my video on the arming sword, head there first as it explains the basics of sword part terminology. Special thanks to Jaelien aka AlienJae for suggesting this video be about longswords. The sword in this video is the Duello from SGT Blades. You can visit their site at
