📋 About This Mod
Simple SE port of Zartar's Hand to Hand Blocking Animation in Oldrim.
The animation can be used together with Dynamic Animation Replacer or Nemesis PCEA, your choice.
In vanilla you can't block while in hand-to-hand combat, so to actually see this animation in your game you need a mod like Dual Wield Parrying.
If you're using DServant's Combat Gameplay Overhaul then you don't need Dual Wield Parrying as this module is already included in that mod.
This animation is for 3rd person only, if you want to see it in first person you need Improved Camera or a similar 1st person camera overhaul
It was created by Zartar and uploaded by TankIsKing
I simply ported it. I don't own this animation and I didn't create it, all credits goes to Zartar for making it and TankIsKing for uploading it to Oldrim in the first place.
This is a Skyrim Special Edition port of Zartar's Hand to Hand Blocking Animation from the original Legendary Edition. It replaces the default blocking animation with a new hand-to-hand style animation.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (853k+) shows it's a go-to for animation modders.
- 993 endorsements from the community – people actually like it.
- Simple replacer – no patches or compatibility headaches.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 – might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE/AE patches.
- Only changes the blocking animation – if you want more combat overhauls, this won't do much.
For Skyrim players who want a fresh take on blocking without overhauling combat. If you're into animation replacers and want a hand-to-hand feel, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes – this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install – it's a simple drop-in replacer.
- If you're on Skyrim AE, check if the mod needs a compatibility patch or if it still works – 2020 updates might cause issues.
- Test the animation in third person and first person to see if it suits your playstyle.
