I agree, after watching both videos it seems plausible that at least some historical warriors could have used a style like Lars and been very effective with it. I don’t think that claim is really “debunked”.

They seem to have attacked the least charitable interpretation of his video. For example, I don’t think he was seriously claiming that warriors would routinely catch opponent’s arrows and fire them back in combat, I thought he was just presenting that as a cool trick.
