**PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION**
This is the "raw" footage from the Tyrnhaw 2018 tournament I attended on October 27th in Trnava. There were 82 people competing.
The rules are rather simple:
- All valid hits award one point
- In case of a double hit both fencers are awarded one point each
- It is possible to score a point by dominance - dominance in wrestling, dominance by disarming or weapon dominance
- The longsword tournament uses the “Vor” rule - a fencer who (in case of a doublehit) attacked in tempo and did no mistake in his attack (the doublehit is apparently caused by wrong reaction of the opponent) may be awarded a point for their hit (low percent of cases)
- there is no afterblow, most afterblows are doubles, sometimes the rule above is used
- The fights in pools are fought to 5 points, the fights in eliminations to 7 points
Some remarks
- the tournament was run from 8am (first pools) to 8pm (finals)
- not every exchange resulted in score, I cut out the judges rulling to show just the exchanges
- opponents vary in their skill; winning over someone doesn't mean they are bad or weak, it just happens, to everyone
- everyone does mistakes, it's the very essence of our HEMA path to learn and get better
- everyone has their style and video has its limits. Psychology, mood, stress etc. are important factors in every tournament

Thanks for the upload, Martin and congratulations. Rafal is a big figure here in Poland, so winning against him in the final is a worthy achievement. I find it absolutely amazing how there is ZERO 'tells' in your movement, especially when you launch your schiessen. With the reach like yours it has to be next to impossible to defend. I'd love to fence against you some time, hope we will be able to host you during one of our tournaments in Poland.

Thank you very much for your kind words! I hope to get to Poland soon, haven't been there for some years now.

Thanks for the upload. I'll be studying this in the long winter evenings :-) . Starting with 0:33 - I consider this the canonical bruch against Abnehmen.

Really, you used a lot of winding into Right Ochs, in comparison to the last year's tournaments. That's remarkable! Btw nice of you to call all those unseen hits.

@MartinFabian 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Ondřej! I've been using right ochs quite a lot in the past year or two, it's a powerful position.

@@MartinFabian You're welcome. Btw when you stich a velcro on the elbow of the jacket, you can attach the velcro strap that hangs loosely on you in the video (it comes inside the shell). Then they won't move and maybe even fall of during a hard strike like at 3:11 :)

First off, you've gotta be one of the best I've seen so keep those videos coming. I've been learning a lot from watching. Second, lefties can really throw off your game, as seen vs Thomas Couturier. I've felt it first hand as well. It's a difficult adjustment to make in the moment. Thanks for the great videos.

@MartinFabian 5 жыл бұрын

Hello Cihan! Thank you very much, you're very kind. In general I like to fight lefties and don't have much issues adjusting to the change. I even find some techniques easier. We have 6 lefties just in my club and I fight them often. The thing about Thomas is that he has a very unorthodox style and very good distance management. He's hard to read and above all he's careful in his approach. A good opponent to test your patience and game plan :)

@ethan073 5 жыл бұрын

Cool! Do you think more competitions will move towards “continuous” bouts in the future? They’ve done it at Swordfish a time or two now and it was very entertaining to watch

@MartinFabian 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Ethan, I don't really think so. Continuos bouts are cool if you have skilled opponents, they are great for showcasing etc. But they are very dangerous and prone to cause much more injuries, plus hard to judge if you want to judge something else than just count blows. I love it as a didactic tool, occasional fun, but not great for blossfechten.

Gratuluji k výhře, krásná práce, je vidět že vaše interpretace starých mistrů je vážně jedna z nejlepších co jsem viděl. Hodláte se účastnit i jiných hema turnajů? Pozdravy z čech a ať se vám daří, doufám že jednou budu mít možnost se s vámi střetnout na turnaji, ale chce to ještě hodně práce

@MartinFabian 5 жыл бұрын

Ďakujem Jakub za milé slová. Po takmer ročnej pauze mám tento rok, ak všetko dobre pôjde, pred sebou ešte 2 turnaje - Pardubice a Fechterra v St. Petersburgu. Tak snáď sa vidíme :)

Sad Sergei Kultaev only fought you in Rapier and Dagger (saw the fight, great impressions). I would be glad to see you face each other in Longsword, as I admire both of you sincerely. Have you fenced against Sergei in tournaments, Martin? I mean Longsword specifically.

Hello Dmitry, unfortunately we didn't have a chance to fight in a longsword tournament. It was a pity it didn't work out at Tyrnhaw. I hope to be able to fight Sergei soon however :)
