A sparring bout using steel swords that accurately and realistically represent the Scottish broadsword and British sabre of the late 18th and early 19th century.
We have been working heavily on the ten lessons of John Taylor (From Roworth, 1804) lately,, whereas before we worked from the first edition of Roworth, that did not have the ten lessons.
Esther's broadsword is made by Darkwood Armoury fitted with the 34" backsword blade. Nick is using a custom infantry sabre made by Swordsmithy (CZ).

Nick is the best HEMA fencer I have seen so far on video.

There's something oddly satisfying about the sound of metal and metal clashing.

Always a pleasure watching Nick fight. Relaxed and flowing well through the movements.

Beautiful fencing from you both. I particularly enjoy all of Esther's slips. It makes for a dynamic style to watch.

Always awesome watching Nick fight; his movements just flow into one another, and is just so perfect.

I don't know why but I love seeing Esther fight.

This video is perfect example as to why guards are important especially if it's the sword by itself

is there any actual difference between the systems of broadsword and saber?

I get the sense based on how she guards that she is used to sabre fighting as opposed to the broadsword.

The footwork feint that you use at :50 and several other places seems like something new you've added to your repetoire, Nick (or at least I don't recall you using it too muich in your other sparring videos). Is that the Angelo
