English speaking peoples butchering other languages. What else is new?

Pls do 1 one sabers pls or single handed swords

500 years ago there was no standardized german language, this happened after 1850, so in those old days, dialects had been used also in written german.

Dear God! Don’t pay attention to what they are teaching you! Instead let’s pick apart their pronunciation of modern high German.... from an medieval manuscript! They should simply jump off a bridge!

we pretending germans speak perfect english or something?

True

Dude you're doing the meme wrong! It should be "inb4."

I came here to say that. Anyone know how tall he actually is? Looks like a foot taller than her.

@@dmandy7968 In a Skallagrim video where they were discussing the women and swords controversy I think (and I could be miss remembering this) she's 5ft 10? And I as a 5ft 8(?) portuguese man think that's just fucking bonkers that a man can be that tall next to her. Don't know what you americans and canadians have in your water.

Right? I thought she was tall. Either that guy is huge or she is smaller than I initially thought.

Tyler is indeed a giant. We call him our giant of the north

6'6"

Google HEMA club finder. There may be a club near you. Good luck!

@@scottmacgregor3444 There are no HEMA clubs in the MENA region.

@@darklanov there is HMEMA

@@luis5285able As an Arab myself, I've never heard of it. Could you provide a link ?

From such a short video u can't simply tell, what their interpretation rly is.

In reality, the patient is almost never cooperative. These demos are with a compliant patient, so just replay the demo if needed. Only minor variations are needed if the patient resists more,

Makes sense both styles priorises cuts over thrusts but both styles does use both.

It's just mirrored in application, the techniques themselves stay the same

@@HEMASimian I actually find that many swords and many moves do not work mixed and don't favor a left handed swordsman specifically when paired against right handed swordsmen. When both are left handed, there's no fault.

@@Skyisgoingbacktopluto Yep, it is no just mirrored at all, and it is difficult topic for righthander to think about lefthanders approach to techniques.

@@Tkoutlosh almost all of my longsword exchanges start in zornhau with my dominant foot forward and end when I cut, raise my quillions and take a half step back

*zornhau ort

Depends on the cut but the zwerch can be countered with a zwerch ... if you do yours better

The master's treatises give instructions on how to counter them. A lot of the counters involve duplieren, mutieren, winden, schnappen, zucken, etc. Go check out Ringeck, Dobringer, Von Danzig long sword treatises at Wiktenauer.

Your zwerchhaw could be broken by simple oberhaw (and your thumb on the blade with it) if your timing is bad. And this could easily happen, if you start with your zwerchaw because this cut has shorter reach than oberhaw, so you have to move and reveal your intent before you are able to make some threat to your opponent. Master cuts are good against some guards if you cut them into guard transition. Or as a reaction to specific attack. So if your opponent start with his oberhaw, he will come into the danger zone of your master cut and if you react to it properly in time, you will hit him, or force him to do some desperate parry which you can easily go around with doubling...

Long edge (same as true edge) This cut is in Lecküchner's Messer as well and is described to be performed the same way as in this video. Long edge then transition into a thrust or a short edge strike. It is called the Wecker (pronounced vecker) or the Waking strike in Lecküchner's book.

@@dr.birbmd7266 - Well, as i said: Mayer describes it differently, as does Talhoffer apparently. Anyway: Liechtenauer appears to be using the long edge again. So it would appear it is more a question of personal taste... my trainer is trying to be as close to Mayer as possible and we therefore use the short edge.

@@dr.birbmd7266 so true edge on bind then false edge on the step.

haha, they're awful. We'd do a review of one but that would involve actually spending the money to get one, which we're not willing to do :P

The Cold Steel trainers hit like a ton of bricks. Rawlings are too soft and floppy. Purpleheart is the Goldilocks, with a good balance of flex and stiffness.

@@HEMASimian I've got one and it's fine for solo work as well as sparring...provided the other guy is also using plastic :-P

General rule of thumb is if the product came out more than 5-7 years ago, chances are there's better options out there now. (Especially with products that launched around 2010 or the "HEMA Dark Ages" preceding that.)

The sections closer to the cross-guard and mid-section of the blade are the forte (strongest part) and the end section of the blade is the foible (weakest part). The blade can be further broken down into 4 sections for certain situations, but those two are the main parts to focus on. Avoid parries with the foible and use it for thrusting or light slashes, and use the forte for your forceful slashes, swings, and parries.

I think the answer is... you just do, unfortunately :(

The basic cuts, steps, and movements are all bread and butter stuff. It's good to get them down solid before worrying about getting fancy. Everything in it's own time. Good luck on your HEMA journey.

Yeah. The hidden strikes are great and all, but don't rush it. Getting a solid concept and grasp of basic parry risposte isn't to bad before going into the hidden strikes. Especially because it works so good. I had to step back from the more complicated stuff too, because I wanted to do the fancy stuff first. But the back to the basics stuff really changed my sparring a lot. It is just such a good foundation I can trust in.

yeah, most of them would work to do that as well. These techniques have tons of uses that a 5 minute video can't cover :)

Krumphau is particularly effective for defence against horisontal strikes.

And a dweeb at the same time, pretty funny that he can’t shake his true character with discipline and training..🤔

Bottes are a combination of mouvements, these are too short to be bottes.
