This was risky - sword fighting on a NARROW BEAM -TESTED!

Pirate of the Caribbean oh that we're trying to do the pirate look I've got a pirate more imperious I've got a katana why do you have the katana cuz we don't have any cutlasses and we're been over this it's like the but at least here's a single edged I mean mine's just no no like I at least Nate is he always looks like a pirate I got a jar I got a jar I got a jar as usual think going to his head [Music] where what Co [Music] professionals oh I had a j DT what happened to it got brokenhearted anyways uh today we're doing pirates of the Caravan yes uh what scene are we doing from Pirates of the Caravan there's actually two scenes primarily there is a scene from the first film where Jack Sparrow and Orlando Turner Turner all right so Will Turner Jack Spar they fight on a beam in the blacksmith but then there's an even more iconic epic kind of sweeping camera scene where Jack Sparrow is fighting Davey Jones on a mast and so this is raised a question how easy is it to do yeah or how hard logically can be done if you got really good balance but I don't think Jack Sparrow well actually Pirates do learn to walk on those masks pretty well do you reckon Will Turner he was he's a fencer so I imagine imagine he's got good balance hang on hang on am I on the are we doing this are we yeah okay is this better yeah we should have done that from the start just we did that that's how we started and then as soon as started talking about like this I know I know I know it feels we you can't face us if you do it I know like look at who almost I don't care I'm I'm an IND individual so so what do we got here we got a couple beams we have some beams yes now these beams are raised up a little bit if you guys want to come up now we can actually I joined you in that Venture we can actually do a couple Nate I really like you we can do a couple of configurations cuz there's actually more than one fight scene like you said there's the one where they're in the blacksmithing where not only do they fight this way they actually jump over and fight like this so we might even give that a little bit of a go but the most iconic one like you said is the one on the M on the m so this is our Mast if you will is it a one to one not necessarily in actual fact we have to be safe and it's a bit wet yes so we've added a little bit of grip okay we have we have Nate has bad knees has and bad balance I can't seem to like to stay on this thing it's fine yeah how you doing CRI are you good yeah good and I would point out that the beams when Will Turner and Jack Sparrow were fighting I just wanted to see how easy it is to tip someone off you want a hand up anyways continue on the beam the beams they're fighting on are a little bit wider than the ones we'll be fighting onr yes but look the purpose of this is going to be a great video I tell you purpose of this video is really to get an idea of how difficult it is to maintain your balance on a narrow surface like this and kind of extrapolating it to part of the Caribbean it's not a Ono one thing but you can extrapolate it to multiple kind of TI you might have to balance a bit to get this something that you mentioned before off camera was very important is that we're going to be moving probably forwards and backwards a lot we're not going to have any sidewards foot movement so that is where we'll see how good our balance is today so I think we'll have to approach each other yes yes have about the have about the on guard take this and uh and that and and and hey I was actually using your as bance you did I sliced him on the face all right so the rules if you fall you lose if you get hit so first hit or first to fall off you're really trying to keep that Cinder balance does that count i' hit my that's the I feel like I hit his hand but that's the advantage of having a swep tilt baby two dead idiots I'm not dead I stabbed you on the shoulder neck oh survivable deck this is not survivable Kramer finally you've been wanting to do this for a while have I I know he's been ey me off he's been wanting to fight sh but now the circumstances are somewhat different yeah there this is a little precarious let's do it you're much more stable than me no death hit yet got caught in my own sleep as a point to Kramer safe in the movie they fall off every time they save themselves but they they don't like purposefully get down out of Interest let's do some Hollywood contacts right we're just going to try and make some flourishes not really going too much like going right in the head that was an accident I'm good does it count interesting those harder impacts does throw your balance more a little bit it's probably because these are bouncing a lot more so we're taking more possibly Force maybe y okay yeah that's doable you can maintain your balance cuz if you can stand still while you're fighting it's doable it's only if you have to step out here that there's a problem so uh Kramer mentioned that uh so what we want to try here what is this yeah is steel oh God now steel is a lot heavier than these lar swords we can move these lar swords pretty fast we can but what's fascinating about using something like steel is that the tiniest little bit of weight can throw you off balance so that little bit of extra weight on these swords though it can get you back into balance can let's give it a go all right so it may not seem like much weight but because we have steel gauntlets on and steel swords it's actually a lot of weight over here like if I go too far out I'm about to fall off yeah it does help to bring you back like if you go too far forward this way putting the sword back it does but even like a normal swing all of a sudden I have your weight transfer which is ridiculous yes I feel like stabbing into the ocean won't help I do find that lowering my center of balance like a crab Works a little bit better I say that and then that happens oh God and just like that just like that you didn't even get me but I didn't have to that's the whole point now these are also quite a bit bigger swords than they use in Pirates yes these are long swords and they use cutlasses they do far a lot lighter and smaller they are and they go with the Hollywood flow [Music] I was that's actually quite easy really thank you Nate Spiderman he got my hand on that one so in the movie something they do do which you're not doing do thank you Nate is they move back and forward a lot which is a lot more trickier do we want to try and like or all right we have to have a continued movement you want to try like backwards forwards try it all right I'm waiting I'm good damn it all right go back a bit on you and I'll come back first oh you're coming back first yeah all right ready you go interesting moving back was fine the moment I wanted to change up and go forward if this is over here like just say I block I'm over here and I try to go forward I'm off balance okay especially when I try to swing all right well let's uh I'll go [Music] backwards wa do you want to try Advantage for a treat all right so who's going back first I'll go back first all right ah and the stepped you know we should probably mention right the balance is a big issue isn't it yeah there's something I really want to test it it's actually for me it's the reaction time because the balance on itself is fine if I were just doing this on my own it was fine if we had planned choreography it would be fine it's the Improv or the actual fighting where all of a sudden now you're somewhere you don't you're forced into a position you don't want to be in that is what makes it very difficult well what would happen if you actually have to shift your body weight around to try and Dodge you see so what we're going to do that was cuz it's slippery we have an exclusive video testing dodging on a beam with hey Shad Dodge this [Music] Bast Dam it yes kick the mace that will work in real lifeu that's no right my bad Channel membership subscribe star patreon and player don't miss out on the exclusive video where we where throw things at each other on this beam to see if you can Dodge on a beam so and there's there's heaps additional content like that exclusive content we make just for you guys sign up so you don't miss out thank you for all memb so in the movies they have this tendency of going completely One Direction and completely the other now we've grabbed shorter blades as you can see we've got arming swords for this one so oh wow I feel like Kramer's going to win without striking so I think Kramer what we do is I'll push you to the edge of the beam as soon as we get to the edge of the beam you start pushing back and we'll just see how long we we can yeah I don't think it'll be very long well I don't think I'll last very long but we'll see how this goes I might just slip right off the edge there all right ready ready wow that initial impact you pushed him so far back you pushed him I got him half a step let's go again I suck at this oh now there we go I got him I got [Music] him ah it didn't save me all right so we want to see how what full length we can get on this right yeah you want me to like come further towards you forward and let's see let's see what I can get okay so I just casual I've got I [Music] got tell me tell me if I'm going to fall off yeah all right now reverse okay oh G back is worse for [Music] [Laughter] [Music] me yeah it's cuz they it's I feel okay so going forward it's cuz they're skewed slightly I think yeah there is a bit of a Bend we developed if you sort of go and just drag this I feel like I'm fine going back though can't see yeah it's kind of a a little bit of a leap which is leap of faith if you willz fighting this way I want to try something I'm going to we're going to try it first see if you can spot the difference on what I'm doing [Music] here have I got more roof [Music] right going forward no worries yeah going backwards is hard going backwards though sucks yeah I agree um it's weird you know what I find going forward even just your peripheral vision like I'm good no wait now I'm good there's two there's two things the first thing I want to say is what I tried and I do think it will work uh and keep people from from falling as much and that is to have the cross foot forward instead of the sword arm and that's because when I'm engaging yes I have less reach right but if I'm like this I'm engaging my inner hip flexors I'm engaging going backwards either way you have a you have more of a Twist I feel more stable this way but what I was saying right is with the peripheral vision even looking here I can actually see my forward foot but even when I can't see it because I can see the forward beam that lets me know where it is without looking at it but moving back I don't have that and so I can't rely on that vision and also when I keep this foot basically uh across the beam like this it keeps me perfectly balanced so I know that I'm not going to slip off with that back foot I'm thinking I want to try something well I actually want to try something as well so I'll give you a go you but you guys can both go and try it together I want to try walking across this with my eyes closed oh wow already that dude that is flipping nly what just with your eyes just with my eyes closed I really I need a sword I feel like I need a sword for this seriously this is a lot harder for me wow this is I guess this is why blind fighting is a skill oh wow isn't it different I think it's the slightest bit of the foot and that just causes you to whoop like for me I I think I'm relying heavily on my priver vision I don't know even for stability like as soon as I close my eyes I get more unstable like look at that is freaky all right so now we are testing crossing over beams though they're pretty close to start with we're going to move them further apart and see how far we can kind of actually jump between these two while doing a bit of combat and because jumping between beams they're a bit lower to the ground for safety so I think just starting off like we're just W oh I cheated I stepped over I didn't jump oh but me too I think stepping is fine if you're close enough who's going to roll their ankle I don't know everybody yeah be careful of wow I can't even balance on one yes I could do it with a second beam I'll take it it's lovely weather over there you're hitting me but I think they do that in the movie what isn't there a scene where will goes like this and he goes I can't remember but if anything this close makes it easier because when you're about to lose your balance you can just step onto that so this is like Ault the floor is lava ah it it really is actually uh let's move further apart this actually requires a bit of a hot now okay wait can we get all four of us you keep going yeah good idea do Last Man Standing Last Man Standing okay oh what everybody just gave don't oh you okay I'm good I win right I gave up for safety this one is actually requiring a bit of a hop yeah to get across Y and so to get it but man I really want to be looking at when I do where you're going so when we throw some fighting into the mix why have you got two swords now balance quarantine put one of those swords down get nope jeez that is a lot harder see now imperious has those spikes yeah they hurt when they go up your nose yes I did it he really did I tried to pull him off yeah I just let's go tactic none of us have done so far I tried to pull just let go of the blade and he just went on to the other beam hey you got I'm [Laughter] fine hit him in the butt other beam hit oh bull crap other beam here I'm still good okay pausing pausing pausing pausing Tyrant does a lot of this smack his ass yes you really have to if he if he presents his ass like that to you you are obligated Nate interrupted I not only jumped over to a third beam what third beam I jumped back that's off the boat lost the tempo you know something interesting I found is if you're losing a balance sometimes doing a flourish can help you I was thinking I actually stole that from you where I gained balance before sorry you good yep I'm good I'm good this is actually a little dangerous I'm concerned when we cuz now we're going even further apart let's it's fine oh okay oh like this I don't I don't want to risk fighting like and it's slippery I shall risk fighting who wants to fight me I'll do it I'll lose like what I do want to do is fighting across a beam like this we can do that but like cuz I actually think right now this is actually very close to the distance in the movie I actually think this is very close to what they did are you capable of jumping well I stood right on the edge where I shouldn't you're more twerking than anything else what's interesting cuz I am my phone flip forward and I want to jump over but I have to jump backwards jumping this way is easy yeah I like that flurry you are Dam he fell so I win I still got him doesn't countd beam third beam third beam back on no there's no third beam there is no third beam this bull crap third beam there's four spots do you think you can do it and there's four of us but I do want to try the fighting just back and forth from two separate beams cuz this is a completely different um kind of uh so we no we're fighting back and forth like this oh like this yeah so cuz now you don't like it's a completely okay so we're not jumping back and forth yeah I just want to test like I feel like we're opening our nuts right into it I'd like to make a rule normally at Shadow diversity it's no fies today no groin and fies and fies all right are we are we going no rule starts now oh okay okay yeah push push I'm trying to push it I got I almost used him his b so pushing doesn't exactly work that works wait wait I an idea I want you to duck ready duck whoops whoops third beam third beam there is no third be beam hang on I I I have a the I have a can I have my SW back I tried to do the let go trick please tell me you can't be catching that simulate a bind that's where we're going to push each other no we're simulating a bind now yeah see hey [Laughter] no does anyone of you think you can make this jump uh I can but in combat I'm a little yeah in combat it's a little sus if we have a rule where we agree like in the movie you jump you give the other person like a second to balance and then you resume cuz that's what yeah cuz otherwise he wait for the jump choreography they're not like trying to get each other oh okay you got my chest okay I've C it getting it all right so this is this is doable doable but it's about the limit ah this was a lot of fun was a lot of fun so Pirates the cariban I think yes though really rainy on that uh mast in that scene but you know which we simulated that do it and we had grip tape for safety but Captain Jack Sparrow well we have we have Captain Jack Sparrow at home is this why Jack like you know oh I should have just like oh crap why is the Run gone why are we the normal ones I don't know okay we can do it it can be done all right good video is it practical can you do it I wouldn't say it's practical it can be done and in good conditions I mean like yeah and to be fair they weren't actually fighting on them for like a super long so hey kind of works and we can prove that you can kind of jump to about a body height y yes and to be fair in the movies they actually are kind of this distance yeah and in that particular fate they're not actually trying to really kill each other either you want to check out the exclusive bit of content that was a lot of fun someone got hit in the nuts yeah that's pretty good because someone cheated you Bast nobody cheated I did an awesome move and one sorry Kramer it's just the truth and if you want to check that video out it is uh for all our supporters who help out the channel we appreciate
