This new Youtube vid (dated 15 Aug) is fascinating.
He analyzes the weapons, the style of fighting, the tactics, the realism (or not).
The narrator focuses on specific scenes from The Fellowship.
This is absolutely worth watching in its entirety (about 30 minutes long).
One thing is readily apparent... that PJ had knowledgeable consultants for the hand to hand combat scenes. (But I think I had read that somewhere a long time ago)
LOTR sword fights analyzed
There is at least one more vid where he analyzes the sword fighting in the Two Towers (I haven't watched that one yet).
There may be a third on ROTK, or maybe he hasn't made it available yet.
@Jash.... you will like this....I promise, guaranteed
