Este deporte es una verdadera obra de arte❤❤❤❤

I could tell that was Ton Puey just by his body language. I'm not big into Rapier, but i love watching his work.

Masters of the sword. Impressive to watch.

Is there a specific exercise you do to keep your arm high up the whole time like that?

Ive always wanted to know where the name Heveran comes from? Is that Irish or Spanish ? Or Viking. Apparently Heveran was originally Evaronne fron Norman Origin but there is more to this name.

No llevan protección en las manos ni en ante brazo no llevan daga o capa de protección si hacen círculos pero no es la auténtica destraza

Spanish Empire!!!

Very nice, just one comment. That guard does not seem a viable steady starting position. Not with that kind of hilts. Just a slight movement and you find your hand impaled

So just a question, from what I've read in Godinho, he says you should parry with estocs (either nails up or down and at the level of the incoming strike) but here the Godinho user seems to use moe standard beating or hanging parries. Is it just that they estocs weren't appropriate at those situations or is there something else I missed here about how you're supposed to parry in Godinho?

Hmmm Heveran? Arent they from the norman invasion of Ireland. My great great grandmother was a Heveran . Mary Heveran. Known as Evaronne. Predating back to Viking. My grandfather was Irish and married my grandmother here in New Zealand.

Pacheco style I thing is more precise , concise and superior than Rada style

I like the Spanish style.

I knew the other one had to be Ton Puey because of the way he moves. It's unmistakable. Now I understand... Wow to both.

I’ve seen a couple videos of men dueling in this event and had a few questions: First is where is this? This is easily one of the prettiest venues I’ve seen HEMA done. Second, what is the event? I love the idea of duels before a dining crowd of spectators. Third, is this a regular event or just a one time thing because I would love to attend even if I couldn’t partake in the fighting.

Where does La Vedadera Destreza meet Russell's Paradox?

Thanks to Puck and Mary Curtis.

Awesome to say the least. Thank you Lois.

This should have been the first lecture.

My opinion is that atajo should be used as a transition to attack and therefore is an offensive movement with an intent to conclude.

Does Debrea have an English translation? This seems to go well with Kalis illustrisimo.

I'm sold now on Goldinho. Thanks 👍

so so

2:18:00 The four qualities could be the four types of Aristotelian motion: pulling, pushing, carrying, and twirling (Physics VII-2, section 243a10-244a6 in Barnes translation) - touch does indeed give you information about those, and the following sections do talk about how information about the motion is transferred from the sword to the holder. One thing I found really helpful in trying to understand the giant mess of lines, angles, motions and whatever else in Destreza is, ironically enough, not what the science of the time was, but rather what wasn't invented yet. Because once you know what sort of tools they didn't have, you start to see what they had to bend their model backwards to include, and why the seams are where they are.And two things that weren't invented yet that are critical for fencing: biomechanics and vectors. Biomechanics are roughly contemporary with destreza, Da Vinci has some of the first detailed models but the first proper work on this is Borelli's De Motum Animallium from mid-17th century, and neither of these are part of trivium or quadrivium. Vectors, on the other hand, are not invented until 19th century (well, the euclidean space equipolence, vectors proper are early 20th century). And you really need those to combine motions with any sort of ease. These two gaps in knowledge combined mean we need to resort to natural properties of lines and natural movement of elements to explain why some movements are stronger than others. Once you know that, a lot of the text goes from "why the hell would you make this so complicated" to "oh, I see, they had subpar tools for analyzing how compound movements interact with gravity".

Is this style pre or post Filipino conquest. I’m seeing an awful lot of escrima in here

how much would the iron mask cost?

Where can I get such nice looking weapons? :)

Dam my testosterone levels dropped trying to watch this. Get someone with some fucking balls to render such important información I will suffer through eventually for the data but fucck godmother and faries and shit about toxic masculinity get to the fucking point

I would love to hear a discussion between Mr. Garcia and Mr. Howden. In his second lecture Mr. Howden says that analysis of Thibault’s “circle” reveals that the proportions are particularly precise, but Mr. Garcia’s analysis of the circle used by the Spanish school proper indicates that it is an idealization at best, at least when applied to the system presented in I.33. This is obviously not an irreconcilable contradiction as the geometrical figures and systems are all different, but I would be interesting in hearing these two compare notes on combat geometry.

Thank you so much to Lois Spangler and the Sacramento Sword School for this. 😊

Are there any English translations of Carranza's work?

It could be nice to talk about the "verdadera destreza" in Spanish, right? ,😉😁

Pero si estoy viendo al capitan alatriste!!

Very nice overview of quadrivium (pure number, number in space, number in time, number in space & time) at +9:20

the Spanish were the largest empire that has ever existed for their courage and determination. No one will ever match us. No one.

Tremendous! Pity Seattle is 8 time zones away.

Me wo korose, kore koso Iberia no Destreza!!!

Accidental from a classical philosophical standpoint basically means a trait that is not essential to a thing. Meaning if it was removed, it will continue being what it is. An essential trait will change the essence of the thing if removed...... this probably doesn’t help lol.

"Accidental movement" ... lol, because you don't ever intentionally step directly forward toward the opponent from the medio de proportion....

Another great talk! Bookmarking for further review... +8:05. Why Pacheco wrote his book. ~700 pages, written at age 30 after 10 years study +11:35. Five Parts 1) Foundational elements +14:10 2) Technical fundamentals +25:51 3) Defeating ordinary destreza +36:39 4) Particulars of true destreza +1:14:54 5) The universal +1:55:01 End of the book Questions +2:08:55 -Do the 'three considerations' come into discussion for Pacheco? +2:12:14 ... ~This book serves as cornerstone of what Destreza becomes subsequently. Hard to overstate its importance. +2:23:15 technical question: once you gain distance with weak under strong, what next?

This is Destreza, how could anyone get bored discussing the math?! Ha ha.

This is really fascinating.

This lecture really, really, makes my mouth water for an English translation of Carranza. Ha ha.

What a compelling bio of Carranza! I can only imagine the time and effort that went into the research here. One minor nit-pick (which I make only in the name of science (!)) is that 1/2mv^2 is the formula for kinetic energy, not force (f=ma). Regardless, the effect is much the same (due to the relationship between velocity and acceleration).

Why is it "diestrix" rather than the more Spanish "diestra"? Why the reversion to a Latin suffix rather than a Spanish suffix?
