Differences and parallels in swordsmanship in Asia and Africa compared to Vicorian England based on Alfred Hutton's 2nd edition of "The Swordsman". Matt Easton from Scholagladiatoria uses examples to compare theory and practice.
This workshop was part of our free online Dreynevent 2021. Thank you so much for this great video, Matt!

Matt's content is always balanced in that it includes a lot of academic based information as well as plenty of practical, demonstrative things as well. Great stuff!

Wow, very cool! I’ve always thought the Swordsman was one of Hutton’s more under appreciated texts, but somehow I missed this part in the Appendix. Will have to give it another look now! Thanks for doing this. 🙏

Firstly, let me say your content is really interesting. Makes a nice change to learn about European weapons and fighting systems. Not sure about the grabbing part of this system though. I've studied a few martial arts in my time and I've always found that grabbing a person's arm or wrist in an all out fight is all but impossible unless the opponent leaves it out there for some reason. I imagine that it would pretty hard to do with your opponents arm flailing around in a life and death battle.

Matt. I think this one is the best one you've done to date :-) Hutton says 'The Ancients' - Silver etc, were taught to fight. These days we're taught to fence

What is passing footwork? I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to sword fighting and I'm just curious about what the phrase means, I'd appreciate any answers :-)

These are very interesting techniques. a lot more grappling than I usually think of in 19th century swordsmanship.

Much of the footwork, distance, angles and grips are quite similar to Japanese old bujutsu schools. Particularly is it similar to some "shotô" (short sword/large knife) techniques, but also some "Daitô" (longer sword) techniques at closer distances (then used with one hand). The same "openings" are also used in Jô or Hanbô (staffs that are about 90-120cm/3-4') where you often grip and strike or grip and use the staff as a lever in a lock.
