Not everyone lives for views. While you critique youtube shorts they're sword fighting in person

@@StankFrengus well not everyone is going to understand why no one is buying their lemonade. If they care about doing this passion project of theirs, they're going to want to know why the project isn't doing so hot.

Thankfully he just got the mask pushed back into him. Which is never pleasant

Yeah....

It was two of my students fencing. And sometimes dumb just works because no one is expecting it to work ;)

@@atlantahistoricalfencing so who is dumb one here? The guy that got a sword in the face? Cause obviously that didn’t work.

yea...he knows what he's doing.

A machete is a specialized tool for cutting plants. They're much thinner

No, they are not much thinner. Machetes are thicker. Machetes are sharpened, where actual European swords were not.

@@TacDyne What?! European swords absolutely were sharpened. Sharpening stones and wheels have existed in Europe for hundreds of years.

Hue just picked it up from first time he learnt it and made it work..Wish I had video of him doing it with steel, but never got one

@@atlantahistoricalfencing he has a good excuse to try again on camera 😁 I used the Mutieren a good few times recently, maybe I'll post one as a short too. It's great to see this technique more 😁

This is Historical Fencing. The fencers are using longsword trainers instead of epee or foil. So the fencing is a little different

Maybe, but this looks more realistic

ProGauntlets

Yes unfortunately. The internet access was not as good as we thought and so the stream ended up a little bumpy. Sorry about that.

Thank you for coming! Hope to see you next year.

It's a Krstitic Blunt. Same as Roger Norling's

@@keithcotter-reilly Do you have a link? I'm unfamiliar with them.

In the Hip toss? Yes it is necessary In the Leg Pick? Also necessary as that is the arm that picks up the leg Or did you mean the second throw? Again it is necessary as this helps prevent them from regaining balance Hope this helps. :)

@@atlantahistoricalfencing thank you!

Hi, I am not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean testing this in competition? If so this is a very common style of throw seen in various throwing arts

They look great. Thank you for letting me know

@@atlantahistoricalfencing hello, I know about two more people in the states working on Cerri, contact me on Facebook and I will add you to our private research groups.

The entire point of this series is for people to be picky buggers :) You are correct. I tend to hold my hands a little more forward than the pictures. Which is likely a longsword hold over. Need to fix that :)

West Side. Over on Collier hills

They look great from the ones I have gone through. You are a braver man than I dealing with videoing in the snow. Love that square!

Thanks! This is sparking me again after a lull in studies in general. And thanks, the snow has begun again so i may be doing more there in it now. Cheers, and good luck in your research. :)

Basically many people do not study the sources related to Dussacks. They instead train with the Dussacks because they are fun. Now there is nothing wrong with that to me. Just I want to see more groups working through the/a source/s in Dussack and train the weapon.

@@atlantahistoricalfencing What I meant was do you not see the PHA V1 Dussack as historical or as less historical a training tool?

That's a tricky question that's probably best answered with tools in hand ;) The V1 length wise is probably historically accurate. At the shorter end for sure, but I can agree that length was there for trainers and sharps. How it is constructed is a no. Brand new ones hold up okay, and the newer models are better, but as this trainer gets older the ability to bind and even parry well diminishes. Often to the point where it's better to not try to parry. This leads to a different type of fencing than we see in the texts. If people are handy I would recommend getting the V3 nylons and making a leather sheath to put over the blade. It'll give a much better training tool. Or just buying something like the AK models.
