Best Swordsman In Game Of Thrones – HEMA

Watch the show properly man, its Ser Arthur Dayne, he's the best, or was

Disagree completely, The hound is way better than Jorah. Let me explain, the hound isn't just pure strength. He is fast strong and effective. He also uses his surroundings to his advantage.

Movie:GoT
Song:Witcher

to be fair, if you watch some of the world championship HEMA footage from 2006 you see someone execute a pretty flashy roll and score a hit simply because their opponent wasn't expecting it

They've got as much of a grasp on how to swordfight as this video's uploader does of information that will ever be useful in the 21st century.

If you do not say Sir Arthur Dayne or sir barristan selmy you're dead wrong!

Ser aurther Dwayne

hej set Arthur dayne was in a 5 vs 1 after his partner died fight and would have won if he did not get backstabber plus they attacked him 2 by 2 and 3 so really set Arthur dayne and the 2 sword are heavy to hold so to perfectly dual wield those sword he is the best fighter

Bro you didn't even give Jon a chance to be judged on his sword skills

I don't get it, why do people say Jaime is the best, did nobody else see the panic that ran across his face when Eddard Stark was fighting him

Everyone says Brienne is big. But she's actually a spinner chick.

This video is old so this likely wont be seen but you guys are forgetting that these are actors and they have to care for safety so of course they wont swing directly at eachother.

I have just one question for you KnightSquire, how can you be a knight and a squire at the same time?

where is Arthur Dayne???

Iaian Glenn who plays Jorah went to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts
it is actually not that far fetched that he got some stage swordsmanship training

Jon Snow is terrible in fact. He is just so slow. He attacks almost like if his sword had his own weight. Also, he is just so telegraphic. He drags his sword back at kilometers so his next move could be seen at miles and miles away. His footwork is horrible. Just look at 5:40. Look at his feet. He looks like he is getting dragged forward. Or like he is drunk. It's so shitty. Also, he always seems to target questionnable parts of the body, especially against axemen where the hands are the most vulnerable parts of the body. But instead, he goes for the arm, the neck or even nothing at all. He is by far the worst fighter in Game of Thrones despite being the main protagonist.

Update!!!

more bronn

I would like to see a fight between khal drogo and rather daine

what about joffery

The Battle of the Bastards proved Jon, or rather, Kit Harington has some decent moves down. He trained for the movie Pompeii, so it really paid off in GOT

what about the legend of gin alley

Karl the focking Tanner of Gin Alley was the best swordsman
greateest commander by far was Stannis Baratheon

Iain Glen (who plays Jorah Mormont) is actually only one actor on the show who doesn´t use stunt doubles in sword scenes

The history of got in tournaments, Baristan Selmy has won 4 tournaments ,against Rhaegar and Arthur who have won 1 and Jamie 2 I think, but between them, Rheagar has defeated Barristan and Arthur 2 times against one. Robert Baratheon had lost by Baristan and Jamie by Arthur. So, the best swordman in history of game of thrones is Rhaegar.

You are ruining the series for yourself and for others

just because it doesnt belong in HEMA, doesnt mean its flashy or bad. keep in mind.

In my opinion, if you survive your fights, you're doing something right. Sure, the clegane brothers aren't technically complex, but sometimes simple techniques win over fancier ones. And strength helps a lot. In terms of skill, clearly barristan and Arthur dayne are the absolute best, followed by (from what I've seen) Jon snow, grey worm, daario, and maybe a few others. Jorah has been hit repeatedly, clearly he doesn't have that much skill if he can be hit.

I HEARD TW3 SOUNDTRACK AAAAAAAAAAA

good combo: Witcher music+game of thrones. you sir have earned my like.

I think Jon Snow has the potential to become the best swordsmen considering he's still young and already has more experience than some fighters in the kingdom.

I think you're reading way too much into this there is a difference between tv show fighting and real fighting.

Lmao Jon had been in 5 fights by the time season 6 started so…

Love the witcher 3 music 🙂

So this is who is the best choreographed swordsman, or who is the best actor. Has absolutely no bearing on the actual skill of the character.

Jorah King of the Friendzone

I hate when people who fight with plastic swords judge every situation as if they know exactly what's happening, how much pressure is being applied to the sword, the logistics of keeping yourself safe (which is always the first priority). Many of these are between two excellent fighters who could take advantage of anything and the other chooses not to give them any opportunity even with a missed strike. This is why they live through the fights

In the olden days (yes I realize GoT never happened) but back in our days of fighting with swords, the soldiers had to give full swings. First to the fact that the swords were extremely heavy and two was to either break through the armor or break the bone within the armor.

in books the first sword in seven kingdoms is Sir Barristan, totally badass background..after him is Arthur Dayne!!❤

Arthur Dayne was the best swodsman in Westeros. GRRM said the only reason he killed Ser Arthur Dayne is because it's not fair if he still alive in books. The only swordsman could match Ser King Arthur Dayne and his sword of the morning (excalibur) is Ser Barristan Selmy but Selmy is old and Arthur is not.

The Hound is definitely the best

love the witcher music^^

Nice Witcher 3 background music at the end 😉

You forgot Jon vs Halfhand

witcher 3 BACKGROUND

I find it ironic though, that in game of thrones in that particular fight with Jorah, 5:13, that is a way to defeat armor, though he would have needed to have a longer weapon in order to make the technique work

fuCk YEAHHHHHHG

nice witcher bgm

Lol I love Jons impeccable hammer technique
