I had no choice! You eliminated my teammate Max. I can't wait💪

@@petritzky that's true, but it was a though fight 😅 are you coming to the Tyrnhaw? I'll be there 🤺

@@brano_simasek I just barely got Maroš and Filip as well. Both were 7:6 I think and though fights. 💯 on Tyrnhaw. Already registered.

@@Boulyshmayswordboi no, sadly not

I watched a few videos from druid legacy. He has done stuff like that before and it got me intruiged. Really good stuff.

@@suatkuran5323 what do you mean?

@@petritzkyEveryone plays from Longpoint these days and I rarely see any other guard and any master cuts.People literally forgot that HEMA is a martial art rather than a sport.

Ah yes, because the true art lies in pointlessly circling in ten minutes while artfully changing guards, followed by a loud double.

@@VelmiVelkiZrut That’s not what the sources say though.According to Liechtenauer, one should only fence from 4 main guards and use the master cuts from them to break your opponent’s guards.He couldn’t figure out the solution to doubles unlike Fiore so there are problems in his system but it’s still okay.I do circle around in order to counter longpoint but that’s my Destreza solution :)

​@@suatkuran5323 I kinda get where you are coming from, this one-handed poking meta and this sort-of "closed eyes" thrusting with a follow-up zwerch currently ubiquitous in eastern tournaments is very reminiscent of sport fencing... but there is more of the sources in there, as some of the breakdowns in this video show, and many sources do favor longpoint. Just curious, how did Fiore solve doubles?

Damn, thanks for the compliment.^^ He's a big inspiration for sure. I still have a long way to go though.

Thanks a lot! It's sometimes hard to see progress as yourself, so that's great to hear^^ Last year in Prag I got destroyed, but also got lots of helpful feedback from the fencers there. So I've been working on that.

Jo, dankeschön^^

Glad you found a way to fix it. No, so far I haven't had issues with the grip beeing bad. Hopefully it stays that way.

Usually I don't. I only have -1.5 on both eyes, so it ain't that bad.

That's interesting. First time I heard of that issue. We have 4 pairs and none happened(so far).

@@petritzky I don't know if we just had bad luck. But I would definitely like to see more than one rivet on that central thumb plate. That said they are still the best clamshells on the market currently IMHO.

That sounds great! If the index is better protected this is a 10/10 glove for me. Would different leather fix the dye on hands thing? What exactly do you mean by plate on thumb is bigger? The one that covers the thumbjoint?

@@petritzky yes, we are searching leather that won't paing hands in black, and will be same solid. And yes, on new models of gloves thumb plate is a bit bigger

Initially, my HFs didn't cause any staining but after a couple months the issue surfaced with a vengeance. I might try this bathing technique you mentioned. Product needs to be renamed from Black Knight to Black Hand...

​@@heirihunziker hmmm that's idea:)

The cotton glove probably saves you from nasty smell as well

@The Missingno About the Michael gloves, any ideas on how to prevent the rivets from falling out? This happens to me all the time now, I've temporarily fixed it by putting tape around the rivets but am considering something more permanent, Loctite perhaps?

@@heirihunziker As I don't have a pair of michael gloves I'm really not sure. Not on one of my gloves has ever a rivet fallen out. On one pair of my spes heavies a rivet broke, but it was at the end of its livetime anyway. I thought about riveting it back, but I would have to drill it out again and I'm not sure if my tool fits inside the glove to punch the rivet.

@@heirihunziker I don't know, the rivets have not fallen out of mine.

You in for a surprise in that case

Of course. It's a sport we are there for fun and fence together.

skraaa!

What gloves do you use specifically?

​@@petritzky Hourglass Infinity Gloves, researched for a few and seemed the best five finger gloves for the price (progauntlets are cool and supposedly better, but prohibitely expensive), I really abuse them since I try to do hard sparring and I use REALLY light protection (just a spes doublet, gloves and mask), which forces me to avoid/block more (I'm used to this since I did Eskrima before), will use more protection because tournament rules though. I popped a few screws, but was a matter of find them and screw them again, really friendly design

Yes they do. I wanna make an update video on them. After one and a half years a few issues have come up with them. Especially in the last three months or so. The stain part was so minor I just forgot to mention it to be honest.

@@petritzkyAre they still your go-to recommendation for HEMA beginners though? I'm shopping around for gloves atm. The Kvetun Xiphosura seem interesting, but Kvetun has currently halted production for an unknown period. The HF BK seem like my favourite so far.

@@EconaelGaming I still prefer the HF armourys over all the gloves in this video. I haven't had the Kvetuns so far. I heard the michaels(mitten gloves bought at socal swords) are good gloves too. But haven't had my hands on them. I still like the HFs more than all my other gloves. After a year though I had to make some modifications. They top Spes heavies by a landslide. If you have very broad hands, SG mittens might be better for you. My clubmate gets regular bruising on his index due to the narrow profile, the shell slightly slipping on impact of the glove and missing some padding. As the gloves wear out this starts to get a problem. Which is why I modded them so this doesn't happen anymore. And my hands aren't that broad, so it is not that big a deal for me. I get our beginners to try out our gloves and then decide. These are still an excellent choice. You might have to modify them to your needs at some point. Sadly I can't give you a handsdown recommendation without knowing your hands.

@@petritzkyThanks! I'm still going for the HF BK after reading your feedback. My hands are small, right one has a circumference of roughly 21cm.

Es kommt sehr drauf an was du vom Schwert haben willst. Die Concept ist das schnellere Schwert, dafür schwächer in der Bindung. Die Maestro ist etwas langsamer, dafür in der Bindung dominanter. Das heißt neben dem Optischen würde ich eher nach dem Gefühl gehen. Beides sind super Schwerter. Die Concept ist überall viel vertreten, weil sie so schnell ist. Ich persönlich bin jetzt von der Concept auf die Standart gewechselt, weil ich schon gemerkt habe, dass ich gerne etwas mehr Dominanz in der Bindung hätte. Mit der Concept habe ich selten einen Schielhau direkt gelandet. Absetzen ist jetzt einfacher, weil ich den anderen nicht perfekt in meiner Stärke haben muss. Dafür bin ich aber etwas langsamer in den Umschlägen. Ich glaube die Concept Shorty wäre ein absolutes Parade Riposte Beast und absurd schnelle umschläge. Die Maestro vermutlich eher ein Allrounder. Durch die kürzere Version trotzdem relativ agil aber stark in der Bindung. Durch die kürzere Reichweite wäre mir persönlich vermutlich die Geschwindigkeit der Concept lieber. Außerdem empfiehlt Borislav Krustaev die Shorty Concept neben der Shorty King. Deine Prioritäten entscheiden am Ende.

@@petritzky Wow vielen Dank, genau nach dieser Einschätzung habe ich gesucht :) Ich bin noch ziemlich am Anfang, das wird meine erste Feder. Meinen Fechtstil muss ich also noch finden, von daher klingt ein Allrounder ziemlich sinnvoll. Allerdings merke ich schon, dass ich eine Tendenz zum Antäuschen und Umschlagen habe. Da du es gerade einbringst, was hältst du von der Gothic und King? Die Gothic klingt für mich erstmal wie die Concept in fancy, oder gibt es da noch andere unterschiede? King Shorty war eigentlich meine erste Wahl, allerdings sind meine Trainer nicht begeistert vom fehlenden Schilt. Wie ist da deine Einschätzung? Danke nochmal für deinen ausführlichen Beitrag!

@@user-fn5pu7go9o also die Shorty King ist das Schwert/Feder, das sich in meinen Händen bisher mit Abstand am besten angefühlt hat. Sehr Lebendig. Den fehlenden Schilt merk ich überhaupt nicht. Es gibt auch Leute die damit auf Turniere gehen. Ich sehe das absolut unbedenklich. Die Concept hat auch einen Schilt, der alles ans Kreuz runterleitet und der Schilt ist nicht super breit. Die Klinge der King ist auch breiter als eine Feder. Viele sind meiner Erfahrung nach erstmal abgeschreckt, weil es halt wie ein stumpfes Schwert aussieht und weniger biegsam und dadurch gefährlicher sein könnte. Aber bei der Shorty King überhaupt nicht so. Die normale King wobbelt wohl ziemlich und man spürt sie mehr, weshalb die Shorty King viel beliebter ist. Die Gothic fühlt wich fast exakt wie die Standart an, nicht die Concept. Sieht halt cooler aus als die Standard. Aber wenns nur ums Gefühl geht, dann rate ich da zur Standard, weil billiger und trotzdem genau so gut. Vom Handling Speed(Bindungsdominanz gegenläufig) her würde ich sagen: Concept>Gothic=Standart>Maestro Die King ist ein etwas sonderbarer Fall. Weil es mehr eine Langschwertklinge ist, wurde sie sehr dünn geschliffen um trotzdem sicher zu sein. Dadurch ist sie in der Bindung manchmal Dominanter(in Schnittlinienrichtung), manchmal wenn es gegen die Fläche geht, aber schwächer. Vom Speed her ist die Shorty sehr gut und kann mit der normalen Concept mithalten. Die King normal hatte ich aber noch nicht in der Hand, weil alle, die ich kenne, die die King haben, die Shorty Version benutzen.

It's a very fun sword! Handles like a dream. Probably the best feeling sword I ever used. Be aware of the reach disadvantage and that it's quite bendy. If someone winds against the flat it's hard to deal with.

Yeah it would hit the ball, shoot it all through the gym, hit the wall, so it bounces back and can hit it again.

Deus Vult!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda wanna try the fish tail. Never held one before.

fishtail keeping the edge aligned <3 @@petritzky

Glad I could help! What can work really well too, is thrusting in a crossed body position(like left Ochs with left leg forward), waiting for the thrust to be displaced and then uncrossing for the umschlagen.

@@petritzky yeah even miming that sat down i can feel the tension in my body just waiting to snap into a different position, that's a good one

Overall I liked it more than I disliked it. The judges weren't perfectly on one page on the planches. On some quality was judged on some it wasn't. Some used priority. Some didn't as it was open to the judges. But in the overall scheme of things I think the outcome would be very similar. I personally prefer this over regular after blow rules. Initiative becomes more important. But the judges need to be better trained for this ruleset, than for afterblow rules. Honestly, the most important thing on a tournament are the judges themselves and the ones here were superb. Fast and mostly accurate calls.

I was 100 percent commited at that point. It twisted my whole body as it twisted in the same direction as the momentum of the oberhaw. I got hit and thought, damn that was dope af.

Ngl next winterwind the champion should be slain. I feel like the challenger should win for once.

So the curse can be broken? @@petritzky

I'm afraid I can't tell you. My harddrive where this is on gave up and I can't find it again online. It really is a shame it was a nice piece.

Ehrlich gesagt kann ich dir da so schnell keine Zusage geben. Ich weiß noch gar nicht ob ich überhaupt einen weiteren Kurzfilm wie den machen werde. Erstmal brauch ich Pause. Das war über ein Jahr mein Leben xd. Aber sollte ich das tun, würde ich mich freuen dich an Bord zu haben.

@@petritzky verstehe ich. Ich hoffe der Film bekommt mehr Aufmerksamkeit.

If you are between sizes, I'd recommend M in that case, yes.

@@petritzky just talked to HF i am 22cm they said S would be too small and M/L is best as they do not make a M

@@glenbrooks2269 oh so they condensed the sizes down to M/L I guess. Yeah then go for that.

Yes. It is, however, up to the judges.
