I have an excavated late Medieval/1500's Hungarian sword, an original version of what appears in this video. Despite heavy oxidation and corrosion it still has some flex, even visible when swinging it. It is over 1 meter long and relatively light and flexible... so, the movements shown are quite believable in my humble opinion.
