Sorry, Matt... You're Missing the Point 😉

The video I'm responding to: "Why Some Swords Had BLUNT TIPS - DON'T Stick 'Em With The Pointy End!" by ‪@scholagladiatoria‬    • Why Some Swords Had BLUNT TIPS - DON'T Sti...   Why did some blades have a rounded or even square tip? Is there a good reason for a design that takes away thrusts as a viable option in armed combat? Matt Easton has one explanation, I have a different one. Let's discuss and see what you folks think. Would be interesting to know what ‪@DaMonStith‬ has to say about the blade shape of the Takouba. Were thrusts commonly taught with this type of sword? I tried to keep "pointless" puns to a minimum but may not have entirely succeeded. :) Older videos I'm referencing here: Stabby Time! - Straight vs. Curved Swords on Ballistic Gel    • Stabby Time! - Straight vs. Curved Swords ...   Plywood shield vs broadsword, katana, axe, kriegsmesser, and war hammer    • Making, testing and repairing a Viking cen...   Making, testing and repairing a Viking center-grip shield    • Making, testing and repairing a Viking cen...   The swords I'm showing in this video: Adorian messer by Landsknecht Emporium https://www.kultofathena.com/product/...
