I really love your channel, Matt. You share some of the most interesting information on the internet, at least to me. Like most other Americans, I was brainwashed by television(I'm happy to say I hardly watch any tv these days). I used to think that the Japanese had the best swords and the most effective techniques, and indeed they are impressive in skilled hands. However, after seeing some of your videos and hearing the history of didifferent weapons, techniques, and battles, I must say that small sword and especially sabre are truly scary. I think when you see fencing you don't really understand what you're looking at at first, and its hard to appreciate how effective, fast, and well thought out the techniques are. Plus, we haven't really witnessed the effectiveness of these things in around one hundred years. I can see now why Bruce Lee supposedly incorporated movements of fencing into his style when he was developing JKD. Anyway, keep up the awesome work. I love everything from the history of weapons and tactics to kukris to fencing strategy and techniques(beginner level on), so I can't really say "do more of this type of video", so just keep doing what you're doing. Cheers.

That might have just been because of the time period of the civil war 1861-1865. At that time guns and artillery had advanced enough to make cavalry charges largely suicidal. Instead cavalry mostly fought as mounted infantry, moving on horseback but when faced with the enemy they dismounted to fire their carbines and rifles. Most cavalrymen never had to use their sabers so it's understandable that they didn't sharpen them or train much with them. European powers kept believing in the efficacy of cavalry charges until the First World War.

Or you could try fainting as a feint. But seriously folks...I found my early time in fencing seemed to speed up my thinking in general. Perhaps it was an illusion, but after a few months, it felt as if my brain worked faster. I'll tell you this: a slow-thinking, slow-reacting swordsman is a very short-lived swordsman. Speed, cunning and instinct developed through practice are what wins matches. There's an element of creativity and imagination that's unconscioius (there's no time for 'thinking' when someone's trying to stick a pointy object into you) but is perhaps the tiny edge that means the difference between scoring a hit or not. If we consider that these techniques were developed by chaps who were going into combat, where the 'score' was blood, one comes to appreciate that perhaps fencing instuction ought to be more widely offered in secondary schools. All the above mentioned intellectual benefits, along with a full-body aerobic and strength workout seems to me to offer a whole lot of benefit from a single sport. And not much risk of brain injury, broken bones, torn ligaments, etc. like in full-contact sports. Oh, you can certainly get hurt in fencing, especially in higher level HEMA type matches (I was never anywhere that good) but compared to football (American is even worse) fencing has a lot to reccomend it.

@CajunCoder9 жыл бұрын
Is Military Sabre purely parry-reposte in method, separating attack and defense into two motions? As I'm sure you're very aware, in most other forms of fencing, such as Longsword, Rapier, or even Sword and Buckler, attack and defense are often coupled in one motion, such that as the opponent attacks, you both defend and attack in one tempo by binding with the strong of your blade, redirecting your opponent's point, while simultaneously bringing your own point onto the target. This seems, at least to me, to be an extremely important aspect of good fencing that is largely absent in military sabre. It ensures that even in defense you stay more safe by remaining a threat to your opponent; by keeping your point on line, you are able steal tempo and counter your opponent in one motion, rather than reacting in a purely defensive manner, which leaves your opponent more free to continue his attack and change on you as he pleases. It also necessitates a bind, as, should your opponent leave to feint or hit you in some unpredictable manner, your point threatens to shoot in before any such action can be completed. The resulting bind allows you to feel where your opponent is, and limits what he can do to attack you, as well as sending you clear signals as to what he is up to. So, the question that always lingers on my mind when I watch military sabre is why they do not seem to value these seemingly corner-stone principles of fencing. Is it the nature of the weapon? The sabre is shorter, and curved, making it less thrust centric, and less able to reach an opponent's body from the bind without putting one's arm in danger -- perhaps making it less suitable to to this method of fencing? Or is it a result of targeting a military audience? It's certainly a lot easier to teach new recruits a simple system of parry-reposte than it would be to build the level of skill required to safely attack and defend in single time, or build the level of sensitivity and relaxation required to work in the bind. Or is there something else I am overlooking?

I don't think anyone really knows for sure, but training large numbers of men to fight in a relatively short amount of time is one reason. skdo bit seems like fencers of the 1800s were much more concerned about not getting injured than those in the 1500s
@remaint32829 жыл бұрын
N Arri I do not think the fencers of the 1800s were 'much more concerned' about safety than those fencers before. I am unsure, but I assume that the medical practices of the 1500s were perhaps slightly less effective than later, so everyone in such a time would appreciate that they would lose far more from far less. Looking at all the historical treatises, it seems like fencers of both periods(especially Military Fencers(as opposed to simple duelists)) tried their absolute best to develope techniques for as broad as situations as possible. Fiore Dei Liberi makes it very clear that any of his techniques would work out of armour as well as in. He also teaches many disarms/grappels that could be used to preserve both oppositions' life as well as defeat those in armour. George Silver makes it explicit that fencers must be ready to disengage from an action at any time, frequently(if not always) adding something near "and be ready to fly out" at the end of his written instructions. In general, every effective historical technique seeks to preserve the users' life.

Fighters of the smallsword and epee were running through each other in the thousands, and point-blank pistol dueling was a thing in the later periods. There was also a sort of duel between people who would wield singlesticks and wap on each others' heads until they thought their issues were resolved. Messy fights were frequent in both periods, and so was a high level of concern.

facing the suicidal swordman there are generally 2 ways: 1 keep the distance, aim at his sword arm hand. he can't use the sword without sword hand doesn't matter how suicidal he is. and hand is more easier to damage than all the bone and muscles of head and body. 2 close in for grappling. its more of a gambling, once in close distance its very easy to become a stabing contest. you need to take the initiative that your opponent did not expect the sudden close in. draw your knife faster and stab like crazy. suicidal attack is sometimes very useful if you using a shorter and heavier weapon like a katana vs a rapier(75cm blade vs 100cm blade). in fact its more like the only way to win if both fighter are the same level lol. so do not afraid to be suicidal if you end up with the short weapon.

I would advise aiming at the wrist, you have five fingers and if you don't manage to severe all of then he could just switch hands, the ease of switch hands ( and even grip in the case of knives), becomes easier the smaller the weapon becomes. The wrist, being the generally the most narrow part of the arm, has the highest concentration of artries and veins, much denser concentration than the hand or arm, you can't protect the that like you can protect the fingers without imobilizing it and if you remove the thin, artery filled wrist, the opponents weapon definately falls to the ground, you can protect your fingers even with simple crossguard, the wrist allows your hands to movement change angle very quickly. Also, quick targeting of wrist is shown clearly in Medieval art. talhoffer.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/202396_108426795906182_100002165854386_81663_209667_o.jpg

One of my peers practices with a saber however, he is left handed. This tends to throw me up and my usual approach has been to change my stances to sort of mirror the position of a left handed combatant while holding the sword in the right hand as to properly counter his own such as turning my wrist in the opposite direction of the standard hanging guard, it feels restrictive so I was wondering is there a better way to handling left handed swordsman in the treatises or in your experience?

@mattlentzner6749 жыл бұрын
Sorry about the confusion. To me, (and my frame of reference is modern unarmed fighting) a combination is a series of strikes that could all hit the adversary. Generally, you are trying to overload their defense. Or a harassing blow would set up a more damaging, but slower move. Stringing feints together is not the same (to me). It's useful if an adversary overreacts with their counter moves and opens themselves up. But you are also delaying your feint and could cede the initiative because you're not actually attacking. The impression I got is that you would only ever commit to a single strike before disengaging. Combinations are a common principle of all unarmed fighting systems I am aware of. It's quite surprising that it would not be used in an armed system.
@CFCbluemofia9 жыл бұрын
Matt Lentzner From my understanding (note, I only have gotten a few months of formal HEMA instruction several years ago, so take it with a grain of salt), in sabre or other mostly unarmored or lightly armored fencing, there is little use for a heavy blow, because once you receive a non-glancing strike, you are sufficiently debilitated that you were as good as defeated. When armor became less useful due to firearms, this also drove the development towards lighter and faster melee weapons like the shortsword and sabre because of the importance of a quick strike to wound and debilitate, rather than a heavy more damaging blow like from a longsword used with armored fighting techniques to break through heavy passive defenses, or even to lightly stun to buy time for a heavy strike. Yes, there are instances like charging a cut, where you would essentially spend a tempo to raise your blade to a threatening overhead cut, but that also heavily commits to an attack designed to break through standard defenses, and can be counter-attacked or have the defenses be reinforced, and doesn't play very fluidly with the rapid tempo that sabres inherently have. This is reinforced by the majority of the strikes that effectively end a duel or an engagement is fundamentally a simple attack, or one with a feint in it.
@mlentzner9 жыл бұрын
Bluemofia Certainly it is much more work to get a fight ending blow with your hands or feet than with a blade. At the same time the reliability of an immediately disabling strike is always doubtful. I guess the threat of an after blow is so great that single strike sniping is the only reasonable tactic.
@DanPFS9 жыл бұрын
Matt Lentzner Combinations as you define them are much, much riskier with weapons - in unarmed martial arts, if someone counter-punches you mid-combination, that's bad but (probably) not fatal. If someone counter cuts or thrusts you mid-combination with a weapon, you're probably going to die. With long-ish weapons, it is much easier to defend yourself than it is unarmed, and your ripostes are also potentially faster and more fatal. Despite that, combinations do exist in sword systems, they just look a little different (I've never seen one longer than 3 attacks). Usually it's closing with an attack, and then launching another attack as you move out of distance. They're also more common with combination weapons like sword and buckler, where your defense is more solid.
