Great video!! I tend to prefer closing to grapple when the opponent parties the thrust high rather than trying to land a rising cut against the arms, though it’ll depend on the opponent.
It also depends on weapon length and how the first action is landed. On average I would say that with shorter weapons is easier to move from first attack to grapple, while with longer is harder and more situational.
Great video Fede, but Henry is calling me. I have to go clock in at my second job at Kingdom Come Deliverance Incorporated....❤❤❤ Curse you Fede...200 hours in❤
How do you deal then with opponents who do land a fast parry riposte? Simply parry and riposte yourself? Also, Recently I've been caught often in this manner. I would attack from donna with either a fleche or lunge, get parried in the crown, riposte coming as if it were to my right opening so I go into crown on right/sinestra and risposte transitions into a sottani targeting my hands at the moment where I've already committed and can't get out. How would you deal with this sort of situation? Cuz I honestly ran out of ideas. Only thing I thought of was sticking my sword to opponents to 'glue' it so that hand shot would be much easier to parry with crossguard, but didn't really test it yet
''How do you deal then with opponents who do land a fast parry riposte? Simply parry and riposte yourself?'' Yes, I in my opinion if your opponent throws very fast ripostes after parrying your thrust, trying to do a remise is a bad idea (it would often lead to a double). As you said, you should be ready to parry their riposte before throwing your own riposte afterwards. One tip against such opponent would be to not overcommit the initial thrust, but use it like a feint/bait to prompt their riposte, then work from there
About the situation you explained, the best advice is to avoid attacking in that manner against that opponent, trying out another approach. In terms of counter, I need to see the action in a video otherwise it’s really hard to deliver an advice. I need to see how the dottano gets you, at which distance and time.
A beautiful location for another excellent and well-presented video 🙂
Excellent analysis! Thank you very much!
Hello HEMA friend! Your videos just keep going from strength to strength! 🤩

Excellent video as always. Thank you!
You are Welcome!!!
Great video thank you
Great video! I also see some similarities in Chinese manuals on the use of the two-handed double edged sword.
Makes sense!

If one suprise opponent enough, one can land remise (or isn't that more of a redoublement?) also against opponent who normally has good parry-riposte.
Definitely, but it’s more risky! Hehe
