Ian Broderick's ice cold parry-riposte style is second to none and an absolute joy to watch. He also has a great sense of timing on the attack.. he'll catch you on the blink if you're not careful.

Ugly fighting technique. Just based on scring points and not showing real fighting technique.

The second camera angle is rather annoying and makes it harder to see what's going on. But the bout itself is pretty nice to watch and I particularly like the refereeing -- look like it lets the fencers do just enough self-calling without too much rules-lawyering.

This is fantastic. Unfortunately HEMA won't take off as a spectator sport (and get really popular) until tournaments work out the problems with filming bouts. It's just too fast to follow w/o a very good replay system. It's complicated because the judges need to get the best angles to see the fight, but that means they frequently obscure the action.

Are they not allowed to use footwork? If so, then it simply isn't fencing, even if this is based on some weird authentic victorian-era ruleset.

Penalty cards can vary between HEMA events. Some rulesets have a card system and some do not. We currently have a penalty system you can look at once we post this year's ruleset.
