That first video you linked shows a very good depiction of European Long Sword and Hand and a Half styles from the high middle ages(1300's-1400's). I believe they are showing the Italian style. The German and Italian schools for this type of weapon were similar but unique, and they were the two most recognized for perfecting the longsword/bastard sword/hand and a half fighting techniques. Quite detailed manuals survive to this day from those times, and that's pages of them they are showing as they spar in the vid.
