    Esther's at a pretty serious disadvantage being so much smaller than Jordan but still managed to give a good showing, big props.

    Give Jordan a set of plate armor to fight in and he would give off dark souls boss vibes.

    Not a HEMA practitioner but the guy in blacks stances look really crisp and tight. Thanks for sharing your sparring footage with us!

    That whole thing was cool. Lots of good techniques by both contenders.
    1:15 Good block there.
    3:03, 4:10 Wow!
    4:20 What the beans was that, it looked so funny? Guy pulls out dagger, immediately gets stabbed, looks disappointed, tries to put away dagger, throws away the dagger, then picks up the sabre from the floor, and the fighting continues? That whole thing looked like a scene, from a comedy movie. Lol!👍😂

    Nice to see a crisp Fiore fencer with actual recognisable implementation of the system. It's a shame he didn't get off any one handed sword plays, just used the Master position but still good stuff. And massive props for getting the 7th play of Stretto!

  • @jordanreeseyre
    @jordanreeseyre 3 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Considering that's a shorter fencer with a shorter sword to boot, they close in for hand hits quite well.

    Jordan's Armizare looks really good here. Pretty interesting watching Fiore vs Meyer in this instance. Some really good shots by Esther too like the torso strike around 1:14 or so. Really enjoyed this video.

    Of course the second I pay attention to the sabre match in the background is when he gets the sword knocked out his hand and immediately pulls a dagger 🤣

    Can we all just take a brief moment at the awesome exchange at 1:42. This is the stuff we need in more knight films honestly. Kudos to all in this school.

    It was, for me, quite a mental hurdle for to go from doing forms and pell work to sparring and another for tournament matches. Relax and have fun 🤩 and the dedication and practice will pay off vs the lithe limber kids who halfhearted practice

      Esther is wearing the ones in the link below, underneath normal spes elbow cups. I am not 100% sure on Jordan, they look like the Spes stuff that comes with some of their heavier jackets, but I know he has also been testing Kvetun protectors recently

    I think that Esther over-commits. She swings really wide and that leaves her open. you can really see that in most of her strikes. If you compare to that Jordan's strikes you can see that they are much more efficient and that he leaves himself less open.
    Also, for his height, I think that Jordan stands really close to Esther, he can be much further thanks to his size. This is not a very balanced match.

  • @vedymin1
    @vedymin1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hm..the guy in black (Jordan right?), i think he comes a bit too close then freezes while close to measure, in very wide deep stances, often with only one leg bearing most of the weight, i think it robs him of potential explosivity ( wastes time and energy to actually move out of this very deep knee bend and shift his weight and position), he already is quite nicely conditioned, agile and fast, but could be even more if this was modified ? Too much unneeded motion i think, its exagerrated. Also that lingering close to the opponent without either attacking or otherwise occupying their sword, i think its very dangerous, if he were to encounter a more springy explosive enemy while this close and in such a deep stance, i think it would make him an easier target. Maybe he did so becouse he felt he could get away with it in this instance but its still a risk with not much in the way of reward, i'd say.
