Some very nice exchanges. I like that the arming sword allows for techniques from both sidesword and messer sources

We are getting new messers soon, so we will play with that as well. :) Talhoffer seems to see messer and arming sword as interchangeable, so...

@@borislavkrustev8906 well true, a messer can be used like an arming sword... an arming sword can be used like a sidesword...a sidesword can be used like a rapier... All can be used like a stick 😜

Thanks Boss! Any of the exchanges carry the six plays, with timestamp so I can rewatch them in earnest?

The first exchange is the last two actions of the 5th play. And O:33 starts with the first action of the 1st play - It just continues differently.

What's the context for the banner in the background? I don't mean the betting website adverts (if something like chess is comfortable getting money off the weak, who am I to tell other sports not to do it), I mean the Olympic flag. Seeing that flag and HEMA is kinda jarring when every other story about the two is of Olympic fencers escaping to HEMA. P.S. I kinda miss the HEMA Digest. It was a good idea, and I wish it caught on.

It's a sports fencing, or as we in HEMA tend to call it, Modern Olympic fencing gym. Our hosts are great, they offer is an awesome rent, and we have an awesome relationship. The flooring is perfect for fencing, modern or historical, I can leave some club weapons safely since there is security, so I frankly give zero fucks what they put on the wall. Aside from that, I have enormous respect for Olympic fencers, their pedagogical development and the athletes they produce. They play a different game, but we actually have more in common than not. The sad reality is, most sports in Bulgaria have to rely on financing from betting companies to exist. The state funding is minuscule.... I miss the Digest too, but another sad reality is that I have a full-time job as a political journalist and there is only 24 hours in a day.

@@borislavkrustev8906 Got it! You are sharing a space. Nothing wrong with it. For a moment I thought you had your own space, and I was surprised to spot the flag (I was thinking you were trying to attract support for HEMA to become an Olympic associate sport, or raise HEAM's appeal to a broader audience, or something along those lines that go against the general HEMA and Olympic fencing optics). And as snarky as my comment about betting may be (and yea, it's not my favourite thing to see), the truth is that it's hard for me to judge underfunded sports that try to survive (not all are tennis, football and the like). Btw, for all the debates in the community (e.g. weight of a feder), if tomorrow we would have a guy invest 100 millions or so into a professional HEMA tournament circuit, he would get to dictate the rules on the spot. It's not even a question that money got to dictate the rules and directions that mainstream sports have adopted. Fans only get to dictate the rules if their sport is at the level of a hobby. What? Political journalist? But you'll be out of a job with the lack of wars, crisis and political scandals... oh, wait. 😏 👍
