Very well thought out content, which will be very helpful for beginners and advanced fighters. I often pray the same concepts but instincts take a long time to be "rewired".
It's true! There are certainly times when I'll end in a double hit and upon reflection can see that I ignored a threat I should have heeded but in the moment I was too invested in my attack 😅
This is very eye-opening, and applies to many types of combative sports and fighting. Entering into conflict should be an acknowledgement that you don't know how it will turn out. An opponent who is little skilled and doesn't know what they are doing does not know this.
I find it's important to remember, no matter how good we get, we're never untouchable. Every opponent needs to be handled with a gravitas befitting the situation.
@@resolvedinsteel that's great! I'm not even into longsword. I was just surprised. I took fencing in college, so I've been interested in getting into rapier and saber as well.
"Excuse me student of mine, would you mind if I put our sparring footage in a video about how to fight noobs with bad technique?" *loses one student* XDXDXD
@@resolvedinsteel That would be a very poor student indeed. Not likely one to keep up the sport if suggesting their beginner form was bad. I liked to think most recent pupils would be open to the fast track of learning through 1 to 1 coaching and would jump at the chance to participate. I also like to think in ideal situations, so maybe I'm completely off here.
@sergemarlon oh I'm just joking about the actual quitting things haha. Really I just try not to cast anyone in poor light if I can help it. Sparring is sparring of course but featuring someone in a video specifically about it seemed distasteful 😅. Thanks for your comments though, cheers!
So... "The best swordsman does not fear the second best. He fears the worst since there’s no telling what that idiot is going to do" is just cope for bro. If you loose to a noob you will get ratio-d... I see
To a certain degree you're not wrong. Dunno if it's cope per say, and I wouldn't say the "worst". The worst swordsman is likely not a challenge in any way. But a wildly unpredictable but physically capable, young and impetuous fencer with little or no training, certainly warrants observation before engaging.

This is a great video. From coming across your channel before, I thought you only used saber.
Thanks! Nah we have classes (and videos) for Rapier, Saber and Longsword. There's just so much high quality longsword content out there already.

what was the name of the master from the quote at the end. please and thank you.
His name was Carlo Giuseppe Colombani.
@@resolvedinsteel you pronounced his name quite well
What system of terminology are you using here? I am extremely new to the technical discussion here
All the terminology comes from Joaquim Meyer.
@@resolvedinsteel thank you
Where's the part where you own some noobs using these techniques?

I'd be down

@@resolvedinsteel lol yes I totally agree. They would need to be a brave sport.
