Useful video demonstrating different grips. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for making that one. I think the matter of how to properly grip and adjust hand position while holding swords is something that strangely gets discussed way too little. Many people seem shy to ask questions about it as it's just so basic, but a lot of us in the community own swords and practice with them without having access to schools that teach fencing, which leads to a lot of people holding their weapons in less than optimal way for years while practicing. I actually hurt myself a few times by attempting thrusts and some specific cuts because I was told by a fellow sword enthusiast - who, despite being truly well intentioned, really didn't have that much more HEMA expertise than I did - that it was better to keep a tight grip at all time, which obviously puts a dangerous stress on your wrist when thrusting.

Thank you for sharing this with us! Definitely one of my favorite channels.

I'm enjoying going through small details rather than fancy moves. Very good.

This is very informative. Thanks for sharing this knowledge, and nice T shirt.

Nice video! Could you make a serie about rapier/ rapier and dagger at home?

Nice shirt!

Cool shirt.

Fair warning: don't handle sharp weapons when you've been drinking. I just cut my knuckle when a blade slid off my finger, trying to measure its point of balance. Had a few strong porters first... It wasn't deep but, damn, do I feel like a dummy.

Sword or Sabre?
