While this has nothing to do with Medieval or Renaissance techniques, I thought these two clips deserved to be in the "Historical Fencing" section. They represent the end of the eras in which the military was trained to use swords in combat.
The first shows (dismounted) cavalry sword techniques to British recruits in 1914 (WWI).
The second, from 1930, shows sailors on a British training ship running through cutlass drills.
Just some last looks at European sword arts as they were taught when it was still considered entirely possibly these men would need these skills to survive.
