More of these please. Learning in real time about how to counter certain cuts, repose and prevent thrusts is extremely helpful to learn from.

Tank you so much for showing me HEMA, i would never have started the hobby if you didnt make videos. thank you so much!
@eurorial10 ай бұрын
I'm always impressed by how fast and reactive you need to be to perform these plays, especially with certain movements that act as both attacks and guards. Even though I don't practice HEMA myself, I enjoy watching and the slow-mo analysis definitely helps makes things clearer.

Dude, please do more of these. I have my longsword leaning in the corner of the room and I am working through the very most basic exercises with it. These review videos really help me see the practical, real-world side of all this theoretical training!

@ArtoPekkanen9 ай бұрын
Yo that feint cut to the hand at 43ish seconds where you first throw a cut from right but then go around from left to cut the wrist ... that is really awesome! When I did a bit of HEMA in my youth, our teacher of Italian longsword considered this attack to be a "master strike" due to the difficulty of timing it. Very well done :)

I really like this analysis. It's nice to see many if the concepts that you talk about in your shorts put into practice and the breakdowns help someone like me who doesn't fence be able to watch with a much clearer understanding of what exactly is happening.

Beautiful fencing. Great call on the flat hit, and while your opponents understanding of aggression and spacing is very good, your speed with continued attacks is very impressive.

@Lazlo_The_BretzHell10 ай бұрын
Yes We love that kind of video ! Please do more of this ! I would suggest to add a counter on the side for each touch from both, so to count the number of points you both made !
@SellswordArts10 ай бұрын
The reason we don't use a counter is because this is just practice. Neither one of us is necessarily competing for points, we are trying to get better. If this was a tournament, I would do a counter, but for practice I would like to give us the opportunity to try new things and fail, and experiment. And adding a counter adds a sense of competition that is unhelpful in this context.

That was really cool. no way am I ever going to try and apply anything, as I don't even practice fencing, but I enjoy the artful expression seen in the measured movements and the careful positioning. The sheer confidence Josh exudes in his stance seems to get through to even an inexperienced outsider like myself.

@jasonbaldwin2171Ай бұрын
@2:33 It looks like Josh is standing in range but not in a guard (you could argue he is kinda in Vom Tag, but kinda means its not really a guard), which is why his hands were exposed. Learning to keep measure and work from full/proper guards has greatly helped my hand defense. Standing in range and not taking Vor is begging to be hit.

I wonder how much flex your feders have (and where are they from) because they look very stiff. Or is it just your edge alignment letting them look so stiff?

So if you could only take a single section of armor into a dual, it should be gauntlets? I mean a helmet and a breastplate can't protect you if you don't have hands to defend yourself.

I don't know... the guy in Red is just plain not athletic. That seems to negate a lot of the skill he may have. I wonder what the real guys who trained constantly for real life and death fights would think of modern HEMA guys or fencers. As much as I respect the skill of the guys in this video and others like them, I'm convinced if they hopped in a time machine and trained with real warriors, they'd be destroyed. Not a criticism. The real guys spent hundreds of years codifying techniques that MATTERED and worked. But did not have a need to record their techniques in great detail. When modern guys see treatises and single photos, I suspect a lot of their interpretation of what the images mean is misinterpreted. Maybe not.
