Samurai are often arches or gunners. So to be fair, its hard to compare them with a knight. So I arranged a duel with an english Longbowman.
As a samurai I had superrior armor at my face and legs. To make an non-choreographed duel without much protection on the longbowman, thrusts to his face and strikes his legs where sadly forbidden. So I think that a samurai would win this duel in most circumstances.
In the end when I was above him with the Tanto and he raises his unsecured hand, I thought he surrendered and I didn´t kill him. That gave him the time to place his halfsword in my neck.

Getting the sword stuck in the samurai's backplate is the kind of irl situation that we just don't think about that makes me love this channel.

@Ironsides21

The ball stab may not have been necessary but it definitely sends a message

@Delta-6501

That longbowman fought like he promised his family he'd come home

@Monkeychicken2028

Imagine hiking through the woods not seeing anyone and then walking past a hill and spotting a samurai in a duel with an englishman

@stephencrompton4352

The sparks off the buckler wow

@climbo23

The panic in the buckler guys face as the samurai lifted the tachi was insane! Then BAM, sword to both heads. Just shows these guys put so much passion into their fights.

@NorthStarFooligan

The groin shot seemed personal 😅

@HarryBawbag

You guys are amazing, thanks for making these videos. Ugly dirty simple combat, no Hollywood BS.

@meatballdivino8955

Man the way the archer managed to save himself right on time is movie worthy, great graple and great sword strike

@benjaminvatne5811

Holy shit, the sparks flying off when the sword hits the shield. That is some proper force you guys are putting into this.

@keziahfern7449

So it turns out the European vs Japanese sword debate was wrong all along. The clear superior weapon is the buckler.

@Ballistic180

The sword through the samurais back plate i went "oooooooohhh!!!!" This looks too real. Well done. ❤

@comzerogaming8794

Those sparks off the first shield hit is PEAK. Where have you been all this time!?

@Abegilr_Dragonrider

This made me imagine a common soldier encountering a legendary warrior and thinking to themselves "I'm not getting paid enough for this," and then getting down to business.

@anangryranger

The outer ankle throw was brilliant. Yet then both were soon on the ground. It's anyone's game from there. Well done gentlemen.

@davidtaylor142

Pairing a samurai with a longbowman is a really well thought out match up given their purpose and armor.
Good job

@punygod7235

Half swording for the win 👌🏽 
Also, the sparks flying from the buckler. Awesome video

@hughmungus8340

I liked how tactical both seemed at all times, the man with the defensive edge counterattacking, the man realizing the advantage of the shield and trying to disable it with strong strikes before engaging and pivoting to get around it, truly impressive over the usual stuff.
