- Educational series on fighting with the longsword according to manuals from the 15th and 16th century and my 16 years fencing experience.
Aimed at advanced students I try to bring up various interesting topics in an unique, entertaining way.
Hope you will like it!
Special thanks: Dustin Reagan
Music:

In my quest to bring you interesting topics, concepts and ideas, the new Longsword! video will show&tell about Streichen, a quite obscure technique which is mentioned often indirectly in the sources. Hope you will like it and hope it'll help you in your studies. Yeah and Ciri says hi.
Thanks to Dustin Reagan and to guys from Bratislavský šermiarsky spolok for help :)
Hi,
In Fechtbuch: Making of KCD Robert Washka recomended your and Ondřej Vodička's book "Šerm majstra Lichtenauera" but in my country (Czech Republic) its already sold out... Is there any way to get this book althrough this problem?
Thanks for your time in advance!
Zdravím,
V dokumentu Fechtbuch (DLC ke Kingdom Come: Deliverence) je Robertem Washkou doporučena vaše kniha "Šerm majstra Lichtenauera", ovšem tato kniha již není dostupná v žádném knihkupectví v České i slovenské republice... Ptal jsem se v knihkupectví Dobrovský a prý sami neví zda dotisky ještě budou... Je ještě možné s vaší pomocí nějak získat do/výtisk?
Děkuji za váš čas a pozornost

@@vojtaromaniuk387 Ahoj Vojta, pred tyzdnom som dostal spravu, ze kniha je uplne vypredana. Snazil som sa zhromazdit este nejake posledne kusy k distributorovi, ziadne vsak neostali. V tejto chvili cakam na cenovu ponuku na dotlac, kedze dopyt po nej stale je. Akonahle ju dostanem a v pripade, ze to bude ekonomicke, urobime druhe vydanie :)
@@MartinFabian dobře! Děkuji moc, vy jakožto spolek děláte kurzy/workshopy?
@@vojtaromaniuk387 vzhladom k vytazeniu skor systemom on demand :)
Martin Fabian Hi ! I have a question.
What leg protection are you used ?
When people tell me they want to learn longsword, your channel is one of the places I point them.
How Joachim Meyer is still alive until today? How did Martin found him?
He lives a quiet life in OKC :)
His videos are all A E S T H E T I C. The camerawork, editing, composition of it all are top notch.
These videos are very helpful, I'm grateful you exist.
Love these videos Martin! I learn so much from each one... please keep them coming mate!!
Yay you pet the dog this time :D nice video as always, this series is the best
The world needed it. And thank you :)
Ochs FanClub of Martin Fabian loves the concept of the Streich.
Thx for sharing Martin! Its always a pleasure.
Thanks for watching! Streichen are cool :)
@@MartinFabian Yes indeed!
A powerful Streich makes the Enemy bleich.
Und mit schön duplieren musst dich nicht genieren.
I've been watching and rewatching these videos to get a better grasp on how to use a sword on my own, it's a light saber but a lot of this still applies lol. Very helpful.
Great video man! A lot of great points, especially @5:20 - 5:52
Thanks Cody!
Gotta love how TH-cam kept this video a secret from me, thanks subscription feed.
Another great video Mr Fabian. :D
TH-cam moves in mysterious ways. Thank you very much!
Awesome video, that Clements book took me back.
I love your videos and the humour in them aswell. Very educational.
Dude, only just found myself a club to start practicing and found your vidz the MOST helpful. Keep them coming.
That has been quite instructive again - and amusing too ;)
Thanks :)
Awesome video, as always!!
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
Huge thanks, Martin, and please continue with your educational videos!
Thank you very much Dmitry, few more vids to go :)
I just recently found your channel and definitely one of the bestHEMA channels in my opinion! From a professional point of view I thoroughly enjoy your way of producing your videos! Just a joy to watch and I love your how you vary with your music choices! Also the pedagogical part is excellent! Keep up the awesome job! Love it!
Best Sword Channel :) Thanks man!
6:50 Hey dog! Beware of the man😁. Nice video.
Thanks :)
Nice! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for watching :)
Second time of watching, some really good stuff in here. Great to see you moving off line, a rare thing to see. I would love to see how you would work against a Fiorist who knows what he is doing, that would be interesting. All in all good stuff and keep it coming. Thanks.
Thanks Colin! In my Tyrnhaw 2018 video you can see me fighting against a Fiorist in the finals :)
Loved the video was a pleasure to watch.
One like and one thousands thank you very much Martin.? I hope to see you soon brother
Thanks Tony, see you soon!
Nicely done and great technique!
I could watch this all day. Great quality content!
Thank you, you're very kind!
Streich? Interesting technique.😃
6:42 That is a nice view.
Bloody brilliant mate👍
Thanks always for the great content!!
Thank you very much for watching!
Superb content as always, Martin!
Awesome video, Martin!
Good video.
Interesting point about that: "You should maintain the least amount of time possible in the bind".
Until now I thought that while staying in the bind you know/feel where the opponent's sword is. Although while in a bind, the opponent knows where YOUR sword is. So not staying in the bind for too long is beneficial.
Some things are ambivalent. Bind is great but at the same time isn't. We should utilize every touch to the max.
Marvellous video! awesome rendering, gold content! gotta go deep into that Streich myself, awesome explanations of variety of techniques, love these vids, keep it up man!
Thank you very much :)
I would give a kidney for the opportunity to train and learn from you! wonderfull video with a lot of information that I will need to watch like 50 times to absorb all the content, thankyou!
:D I am available at various places, keep the kidney pls
Black Sabbath hell yes my friend!
Love your vids! But perhaps you can give us some step by step drills? that would be the cherry on top!
I love your video series. always an inspiration.
Thank you very much, you're very kind :)
@@MartinFabian I keep hearing that you published an excellent book on fencing. Is there any chance that you'll releasing it in English in the foreseeable future?
@@windrider970 Similar contents of my book are already available in English. For instance I'd suggest the excellent translation of Harry R. www.blurb.com/b/9442168-peter-von-danzig. But I've been working on book 2 for some time and that one I'd like to make available in English as well.
When we will have the 6th video of Longsword?
Es ist Zeit für Strrrrreich!
Nice, dude!
4:22 was some sort of sorcery.
I wish there were 10 more of these..
Long sword with sabbath 🤗✊🔥
many of my fights rely heavily on the iron gate. I also rely on Langert so much, it hurts. this video was like seeing my style in motion
Langort
Part VI someday?
Hi Martin, I have a question. For the first play, instead of winding in a cut with a duplieren could you substitute a thrust from the upper right hanging instead? I know it isn’t canonical but I’m curious if you think it makes technical/tactical sense
Hello Evelyn! Yes you could but the bind would have to occur in a way that there's an opening for a thrust. Your opponent has - most of the times - an upper hand in this because their weapon is bound from above and they are stronger. Going into a right ochs thrust would mean pushing against them which might be a bit harder compared to if the bind occured after cutting two similar cuts from above.
Something I've been wondering is what the purpose in learning the longsword would be if a different weapon - spear, or perhaps poleaxe - is objectively better (being referred to as "the king of the battlefield")?
Faster and sexier, and everyone knows the sword is more famous than the heavier slower weapons. Sure the spear can easily stab an opponent, but it's not as fun on the swing cuts. Sure the bardiche polearm poleaxe is pokey and strong and powerful, but it is a bit slow. Everyone chooses the sword, because it looks cooler and cuts and thrusts faster especially when mixing combos. If you desire reach, just get the,"Scandanavian Greatsword". Almost same reach as a spear or polearm bardiche or halberd.
Polearms are always primary weapons because you cannot wear one, and thusly it must remain in your hands. Most swords, whether they be longswords, arming swords, falchions, rapiers, etc, are commonplace on the battlefield and very useful to have, but mostly as sidearms because they can be worn while still using the pole arm. If for whatever reason you need your sword, it is always there for you. This also makes swords much more practical as primary weapons in essentially every other context, as you usually cannot go about your daily life lugging a pollaxe around (it was usually illegal anyway). The exception to this rule are the larger "great sword" class of swords. They are so large that they served a purpose more like a pole arm did, and were carried and used as such. The largest sword that I could still consider a sidearm is the Marozzo style Spada Due Mani. It's not as long as great swords, but larger than other longswords. Still, I can wear and draw my 54 inch one one handed without much hastle, though I don't think I could if it were longer.
This isnt a battlefield art, but rather a dueling one. Duels were fought generally one on one with identical weapons.
Perfect German! Wunderbar! Ich mag dich. :)
Great Video Martin! Always a pleasure to se your moves ;)
Tell me pls, where can I get those knee/shin protectors you guys are using?
Hello Daniel, thank you very much! I'm using REY Shing Guards for Street Hockey. They are very elegant :)
Keep posting! ;)
Episode 7 when?
Sigh. I love watching these young people hit each other with swords.
Is that bearded guy cutting tatami mats wielding a Brescia Spadone ? If it is, i'm jealous.
Yes, it's a Brescia Spadone :)
I m no HEMA practitioner but do other martial arts and I have to say you are a master of your craft and if not you are at least a enthusiast and a true martial artist! (do HEMA Practicioner even you use this term?)
Thank you, you're very kind. I just like to do what I do. Occasionally some people use a term like "master" but it's not widespread. We - at least where I come from - have no ranks
thanks so much.mr martin. we learn all in 3 hours per day to practice everyday. someday i will come by your country {Rohmat Jarot, CEO Black Shadow Indonesia, Indonesian Private Militery Company, Tactical Link Fighter Jets, BodyContact MArtial Art Instructor}
Thank you Rohmat :) Just returned from Indonesia 2 weeks ago :)
Longsword part VI????
I accidentally lost (deleted) 25 minutes of footage I shot for the video :) Hopefully soon, I've been very busy
Anyone know what kind of Feder he uses? Or one that he recommends?
You can always ask me 🙂 in the last year I've been mostly using SIGI Forge feders
@@MartinFabian which one? The basic one? Is that the same one you use in tournaments?
@@WhyName At Tyrnhaw and Pardubice I've used the Concept, at OstFecht the Standard. All are good 🙂
@@MartinFabian cool, thanks for letting me know.
Ach, Tatry!
Okay but what's that sword bag you were hiking with?
It's the Kvetun sword bag :)
@@MartinFabian Is that something you can still buy? Doesn't turn up on Google 😅
@@MartinFabian Ah I think this link may have been meant for someone else perhaps?
@@IanCowen Oh sorry had another copypasta. Try contacting Kvetun Armoury directly on Facebook, not sure if they still make it.
@@MartinFabian Awesome, will do :D
where do you get your gear and swords from?
Hey! Gear is mostly all star, SPES and Sparring gloves. Swords all kinds of producers but last year mainly SIGI
@@MartinFabian thanks i have been interested in fencing and sparring with swords. also, love the videos and cant wait to see more.
@@MartinFabian Also, where can you get a rapier for fencing?
@@luckybo1675 Same companies, also Pavel Moc, Regeneyi, Kvetun Armoury... all of those make very nice equipment :)
@@MartinFabian thanks again:)
