The High Ground: REALLY An Advantage in a Sword Duel?

You're probably aware of the High Ground meme from Star Wars: Episode III, where Obi-Wan boldly declared "It's over, Anakin. I have the high ground."

If you've ever wondered how decisive that would actually be in a real life fight with historical swords, this video is for you.

Thanks to my good friend Swordsage for helping out with this video while he was on a visit.
