Episode 6: The Aesthetics of Armoured Fighting: Sparring, Duels, and the Beauty of the Fight, With Dequitem


Listen Later

Dequitem is an armoured fighter who focuses on showcasing non-choreographed fights in his videos.

His goal is to display historical fighting techniques in the context that most closely resembles how they would have been practiced in historical times. This leads to clashes fought at full speed and power in an effort to survive rather than score points.

This approach leads to a better understanding of fighting techniques and learnings that may not be as evident in a more modern sports-like context. In addition to this focus on technique, Dequitem puts a lot of effort into the aesthetics of the background, choosing historically plausible locations and turning sparring and dueling videos into cinematic works of art.

In this live stream, Dequitem discusses all these aspects with host Gabriele Culot.
