Two handed sword: spins and strikes (claymore, broadsword, greatsword, longsword)

Trying out different moves with a two handed sword. In this video there are several types of spins (6 I think) and many different types of strikes. There are also 5 different defensive moves. I am using a metal pole that is the same weight and length as authentic, historical two handed fighting swords. However, the balance is in the center of the pole, whereas it should closer to the hilt (normally the center of gravity would be moved down by the weight of the hand guard and the pommel). T
