Lol that's wild if you've never washed a HEMA jacket. You can read the FIE guidelines for washing the pierce resistant jackets. Machine washing on delicate or cold is always fine. Oh you're talking about the padding only? It's been fine, and swords aren't maces, I fence with people with lighter jackets. These jackets are mostly unpadded anyway.

Yes! There were multiple, some were in series episodes but here is two. Offline footwork workshop th-cam.com/video/jKOFjGbLVds/w-d-xo.html Full Distance drill list th-cam.com/video/wqL1Bwi4g5M/w-d-xo.html&t=

@@superiorhema Thank you! Missed the offline footwork workshop

@@Sl1ckR1ck858 that’s great! We’re in Thunder Bay Ontario

@@AlexTheSwordGuy that’s the kvetun liechtenauer

The Swordshop ultra light jacket. And just standard fencing pants, absolute fencing.

@@superiorhema thank you

Lol great thanks! Yes, neither are German fencers so the zwer usually gets them. Takes deliberate drilling to break zwers well.

@@MhUser that’s what it says on the tin ;)

AND NEVER LOOKING BACK. No this video series is multiple years old, when it comes to wrestling and dagger, it's all just medieval. There's no difference. Every single play can be found in German sources. BUT the german sources are completely random. Fiore has put these techniques into families and one book.

Dude you have zwer pricht zwer stucke in this video, in competition, and you do sad eyes just because there is some funny legs situation xD WHYYYYYYYYYYYY xD

​@@Druid_Ignacymaybe his knees got stolen now he feels offended? :(

Yes you're right, it appears in the second master plays (crossed), but it's all one system, can be done with different left hand covers. With one handed covers you have the freedom to go under with the right hand as you cover. So you can also get the fast position. The demonstrations are slow so there visible and safe. Cause yes blocking in general doesn't work with dagger, the person has already moved to a new attack. So once it's sparring it's running on to that arm as one motion, regardless of technique. Yes I'd assume its the gambarola, which I used with both.

@@Bounty_Hunter0000 for most people that is true, but in this case he can actually keep parrying and riposting on his knees and get back up without breaking a beat lol. We have lots of it recorded, there’s exceptional people out there. He only stopped because it’s a tournament.

Oh that’s great lol. Ya we had someone from the the Forge WMA Calgary come last year.

Ya I've honestly found that teaching modern right of way has helped people so much with safe fencing. Now they understand Vor and Nach a lot more. And it shows in the fencing and prioritizing different reactions

Oh really, are they not landing before the parry, or just not controlling leading to double or afterblow?

@@superiorhema the later. I double most of the time. I find it very hard to see the right time and place for it. My partners sword should be high. I figured that one out.

@@petritzky Right there was one or two in this video as well. Ah ok, ya if you're not catching them mid sword motion to get the delayed reaction. 0:48 Then sometimes compound motion, you know you pull the thwart behind the head then make the actual cut (0:57 sort of) Or crossed arm thwart over the head. Leading Zwers in general have a low success rate depending on the partner. Cause you find people who are shorter and just cut low to the ribs. In which case fleche with a low thwart to cover, then now you've closed you can cut around or grapple.

@@alexhunt7810 this tournament was just first to hit. Not my favourite but I personally like them better than weighted after blows. So I wasn’t incentivized to cover and hit, but many still are covered hits. But most exchanges that had two hits I’d call hit and afterblow. Which in reality the first hit is more important as a follow up strike may not have happened. But the flèche or loaded passing step is in manuals for hundreds of years. And stuff like the Schietelhaw and schiessen from medieval sources fit with it. We’re told to “springen” which means jump.

Generally it’s when the point is forward I have right foot ahead. Sword retracted I have left foot leading. As fencing gets more competitive and fencers are faster, then you often need that sword in front of you to reduce reaction time. In the zettel long point is called “the noblest and best guard” For my personal fencing it’s probably 60% - 40%

No I haven't used spatulated tips from regenyei specifically. Personally I prefer rolled tips if you don't want to put leather or rubber on the tip. Rolled tips give a larger surface area with less added weight. Spatulated/thickened tips are thinner and can slide into gaps easier. Or they can be a similar thickness but then it's WAY more steel added to the tip. Which doesn't feel great. There's some people out there against rolled tips, like B&I etc. But I don't really know of any rolled tips breaking. I'm sure it happens but it's not a major thing, otherwise there'd be a bigger shift. Lots of the big names in HEMA don't have anything against rolled tips. But yes a thickened/spatulated tip can be cleaned so it could have a theoretical longer life.

Ya I know what you mean. It is really just an in distance - out of distance thing, it doesn't really explain any beginner to advanced way to start using it. You have to already know it to see it. 3227a gives a bit of advice, but it's not until the renaissance where stuff starts getting documented for how to play with your footwork. You can see a bunch of old videos of Nachreissen interpretations. The person just stands there and the opponent cuts out of range then he hits after. There's lots of ways to make that happen, standing there isn't one of them. At least not if you want to MAKE IT happen. So it took a long time for footwork skills to embed in HEMA.

And then in Hs3227a it's vorschlag - an attack

You could also argue that essentially the wrath hew doesn't appear at all. Only the wrath hew's point. So no hew with a descending diagonal cut. But it's that often stuff gets written as a counter move. "They do this" so "I do that". "They punch me with the haymaker" so "I block then grab etc" It doesn't change the concept that the Zornhaw teaches which is about center line. Also in all those sources the other guy is just making a wrath hew at you. "and he tries to hew at the left side of your head." We're just being the guy winning with the first hew. Using the principles found in the Zornhaw text. All the sources talk a lot about taking the before, and then give us all these examples in the after or simultaneous lol. Later sources have offensive Zornhaws talked about from more contexts. But there still in the early sources.

Thanks lol, ya I committed, hadn't done one in a while

Ya it's sort of a grey zone. He reached for it in Largo, similar to that play. But I just didn't try to hit him so he walked forward and grabbed deep. But he had no cover most of the time, so it didn't seem to fit well with the stretto images.

@@superiorhema Ya definitely! I think I would say the play that black attempted to pull off was the largo version, but ended up getting stopped by the cover and lost the tempo for the attack. So maybe would've been better trying a push out while winding up the thrust which would be more of the stretto version? I think black would gain a bit since white would have to change momentum to rush the blade? Fun stuff! I love watching this, I wish I could get my friends to go spar more than once a week.
