2 long winded videos--
Both don't make a clear distinction between swords and short swords but come to the same conclusion. In an enclosed location like a hallway or bedroom a short pointy weapon like a gladius would be best.
One adds that maybe the other hand should have a tactical flashlight to temporarily blind the attacker. The other makes a good case for a buckler. Food for thought.
One made an interesting comment that if you gave an MMA fighter a (short) sword and a couple hours of practice he would be a formidable foe.

I just watched the second video today, it was pretty good. I agree with him, a shield/buckler and a short sword (ideally doubly edged) would be fantastic for enclosed spaces
You could even hold a flashlight in your shield hand if your shield has leather straps for a handle

I didn't realize the Romans attached flashlights to their swords. Learn something new everyday.
