A demonstration of footwork, cuts, thrusts and simple defences derived from the 16th century books on swordsmanship.

thankyou illka - this is extraordinarily generous of you! I am surprised that you are not putting pro material together for the bolognese style.

Occasionally yes. It is good practice for the dagger or using two swords, or for hypothetical situations where the right hand would be too tired to continue or wounded. There are original sources that describe swapping the sword to left hand for these reasons, or to trick the opponent.

I've studied a bit of German Rappier from Joachim Meyer. The swords and techniques are similar. Very cool sword work, and love the video!

Thank you! I just watched your video and I'm happy to see that we have come to similar conclusions on many of the footwork actions. I hope we'll get to compare notes on our research one day! I would be interested in seeing more videos of your interpretations!

it could be advantageous to initiate with the left foot to create an opening for another strike.(right foot)

Celgus is right, i would say that if you try to end your "mandritti" attacks with a quite wide "quarta guardia" the left part of your body will be properly cover. So it's not so easy for your opponent to hit your left.In my practice i never had such problem.

For example if you are caught on the wrong food, have to react to attackers from different directions, have hurt your leg... a lot is possible.

How would you compare the Bolognese School to other forms of fencing, such as British Military Sabre?

@Ranziel1 7 жыл бұрын

19th century military fencing is a lot simpler and direct, made to train armies, not individual fighters. British stuff is especially more condensed (I happen to practice it a little bit) and is almost entirely cut oriented. Very late British sabre (e.g. Waite, which is what I'm familiar with) is essentially a mix of earlier cut only styles and French foil, resulting in a mix of cuts and thrusts... like a sidesword, in many ways, but still very linear and devoid of grappling, since complex footwork isn't massively useful (still useful though, in my opinion) with a quick weapon and grappling was rare in actual combat, considered foul play in a duel and would take a long time to learn.

do you also train with the left arm ?

Super useful. Question: since then, have any of your interpretations changed in a significant way? Is there something you would change from this video?

@ilkkaouto 4 жыл бұрын

Sure, some things have changed. :) I'm thinking of doing a new version of this video, with basically the same content but revised interpretations and hopefully more fluid performance. :D

Hello! What sword is it? I mean, what sword should I buy for practice?.. Thanks!!!

@Carbon762 9 жыл бұрын

zeroa6 I am 90% sure he uses Peter Regenyei sideswords....Regenyei has a very distinctive look where the ricasso meets the bevel. However I've heard his swords' tempers are inconsistent, and I recommend instead Darkwood Armory's sideswords.

Do you have application or sparring videos? (Not for entertainment but study)

@ilkkaouto 10 жыл бұрын

Hi, yes, if you go to my channel page there should be a section with free fencing videos. You can also try searching, there should be plenty of videos of at least myself sparring.

In defense against thrusts. To get out of the way of incoming points.

why would you ever attack by leading with the LEFT foot (if your a righty)?? makes no sense, you have less reach wih the sword now and expose more of your body...
