Don't sweat the audio. You'll figure out the right stuff. Often a simple lapel mic can do so much. I'm really enjoying these and just discovering HEMA in general and I really want to get into it. Thanks for inspiring that.
+Kyle Przelenski Check out a few other channels like 'Scholagladiatoria' and 'Dimicator' and definitely go to the facebook group 'The HEMA Alliance'-lots of great stuff you can learn or ask about there. :)
I knew the first two but wasn't familiar with the third, looks like it'll be fun to try in sparring! I wish the channel all the best in being successful!
please please please please make another episode of this I'd love to see more techniques like these with many weapons and variations. if possible I'd love to see actual sparring footage of these techniques as well. I know in a video by +skallagrim there is a sparring session between Richard Marsden and Lee smith. at one point Richard does this "come at me naive " pose in the session and lands a hit on counter. amazing
+grip7777 If there isn't anything near you I suggest going to 'The HEMA Alliance' facebook group and asking for advice on solo training and/or starting up a study group/club by yourself. Lots and lots of great resources online that you can use. :)
+Tipsy Fish The turned back is more of an insult thing. I think Agrippa used it heavily. And I wouldn't suggest doing it in a tournament as it's very insulting. Basically it is implying that you're so sure of your hit connecting and killing/disabling your opponent that you aren't bothering to defend yourself.
+Tipsy Fish It passes their body past the tip of the opponent's sword, making it very difficult to counterstrike or deliver an afterblow. It's a well-documented technique that shows up in many rapier sources from Agrippa, to Fabris, to Capoferro, and Giganti.
that was just great, i hope you don't mind if i use it as an animation reference, i'm working on a short film and this helps me a lot >also i want to say that i really appreciate that you want to improve your content, keep it up guys, i will be watching all of your vids
Hello I love this videos. I have heard that staffs are excellent weapons because they are cheap and can deal potent strikes and also are very good at defense, I would like to se some video talking about those, seems interesting to se how it works against other weapons.
+arnanu88 They're pretty amazing. A skilled staff user could take out 3 swordsmen without too much trouble due to their reach. The kinetic energy of attacks is up there with 2 handed warhammers and there's a huge range of techniques. Making sparring safe is pretty difficult though, even light flexy rattan has the potential to shatter bones which is probably why you don't see very much of it.
+arnanu88 If you want to see that you should check the scholagladiatoria channel as well, Matt discusses it there. I can already tell you though that despite the truth to the statement, you can see from extant weapons that it was not a very popular choice. The truth is that sticking a bit of metalwork on there is also quite cheap and much more deadly, as it makes a spear.
Hedge Twentyfour Spear were usually considerably lighter than staves meaning if you can make to past the tip you're probably safe. Spears are clearly better thrusters but they have a fraction of the versatility. Staves often they had iron tips and were very common in England. Further more lack of extant weapons means very little. Swords preserve a hell of a lot better than something which was 99% wood, people are more interested in preserving beautiful swords than sticks and often staves served other purposes such as barge poles so perhaps wouldn't get recognised as weapons.
Jim Giant Yes there were a lot of staves in England, but mostly used during the nineteenth century by civilians. Spears were preferred for war and NOT much thinner or lighter. As you say staves rot easily, but if the ends were made of metal they'd surely be preserved same as swords.
+Alpha PHENIX it is neither good nor bad. It is a consequence of two pieces of metal connecting with enough velocity. It is a matter of physics. It would only be bad if playing near spilled gas, which is never recommended. And it looks cool.
Is the nature of the Rapier so fundamentally different from the longsword that it would render the use of the technique at 1:06 with a longsword ineffective? It seems impractical but... intriguing.
Awesome video this looks way better than the clunky meat cleaver techniques they use in movies and games, I was wondering, does anything like this happen when you do actual sparring or is this more something you train to become fluent with a blade?
+pmauza Yes, but I think that some are combinations of techniques described in the manuals. However the rapier technique seems to be rather straight forward and looks like it comes from Salvator Fabris. He has a lot of those when you turn offline so that you moreor less present your back to the opponent. I'm not sure if this is the exact technique (I'm not a rapierist and only did a quick search) but it's at least similar, from "Lo Schermo, overo Scienza d’Arme": www.faegtekunstensvenner.net/SalvatoreFabris/Images/L1000572-1_edited.jpg

Let me guess: The Messer stuff is taken straight from Lecküchner.
+Darsian Deef Absolutely! We weren't moving that much in order to keep it in frame, but cutting patterns like that work extremely well with a large forward rush. Because Nicole wasn't stepping back you notice that Sean tends to stomp fairly hard to arrest the forward momentum he was generating.
+Anthony Thomas (Pyrofyre) There isn't too much info on that in the treatises we know of so far in HEMA but there are some-go to 'The HEMA Alliance' facebook group and ask around there if you want to learn more about it :)
Sparks at 1:36 :o
Ha, these are so cool!
See Hollywood, you *can* have sword fights that are both realistic/historically accurate, and spectacular at the same time!
Very nice. The touches of humor are much appreciated, too.
Great video! Simple, short and sweet.
Wow, you have to have a lot of confidence on your skill to not accidentally hurt someone while doing that last one. Really impressive
Nice simple video, I'd like to see more like this.

Hey, wait a minute, that hair-smoothing move at 1:26 is straight from Lee Smith's demo on Richard Marsden! I see what you did there!
I really like you style, guys!
Good video, you should do more like it.

This is beautiful, I can't wait to see more and learn more from you guys congratulations and thank you!
Greetings from Colombia in south America
Fantastic, thank you for the videos !!!!
My favorite is the messer since it transfer to various tools that you can use in the same way.
Great stuff! I wish there was a hemaclub in my city!
+grip7777 If there isn't anything near you I suggest going to 'The HEMA Alliance' facebook group and asking for advice on solo training and/or starting up a study group/club by yourself.
Lots and lots of great resources online that you can use. :)
aleksandar ristic Will try that, thank you!
+grip7777 Best of luck to ya! :)
This was a great video.
nice techniques :) The rapier one is pretty cool ^^
With the Rapier, why does the wielder turn their back to the opponent as they strike? Can they not thrust properly with their wrist at that angle?
+Tipsy Fish The turned back is more of an insult thing. I think Agrippa used it heavily. And I wouldn't suggest doing it in a tournament as it's very insulting.

@@FabrisFanatic how about Thibault?
@@g-smith4466 also there too.

For longsword, are you guys specifically dedicated to one system? I.E. Ringeck or Talhoffer?

1:36 Is seeing sparks a good or a bad sign?
+Alpha PHENIX Looks cool though!
Max Kaspersson Ya I guess
+Alpha PHENIX it is neither good nor bad. It is a consequence of two pieces of metal connecting with enough velocity. It is a matter of physics. It would only be bad if playing near spilled gas, which is never recommended.
And it looks cool.
Bengt Neathery Ok thanks.
Bengt Neathery It means that the blade is chipping, so in that sense it's bad because it means that your blade is taking damage.

Let me guess: The Messer stuff is taken straight from Lecküchner.
Does the longsword technique remain viable if the opponent (naturally, imho) does a step back after the first blade contact?
+Darsian Deef Absolutely! We weren't moving that much in order to keep it in frame, but cutting patterns like that work extremely well with a large forward rush. Because Nicole wasn't stepping back you notice that Sean tends to stomp fairly hard to arrest the forward momentum he was generating.
+Blood and Iron HEMA Thanks for the clarification, keep up with this excellent work!
the Longsword move looks awesome! reminds me of the Witcher series!
I know now what to practice... hmm still need a Longsword... and skill... Dang it!
+MPPRODUCTIONSger and a willing volunteer... and a longsword for him/her... and protection... money... time... space...
Could you make a video on Kriegsmesser techniques?
Holy shit a gold pepe.
As far as we know, they’re basically just longsword techniques without false edge usage.
Raphael NEEDS that Rapier move in Soul Calibur 6!
Are the swords used for demonstrating/sparring the same weight as historical ones?
+Zack Dumbledore the swords they are using appear accurate. Approximately 4 lbs.
Nice soldat. :>
I love these videos, but I want to know how to fight shields, those are my weakness so I want to know a good technique against them
+Anthony Thomas (Pyrofyre) Bad idea to give off your weakness, now I know how to beat you ;)
+Anthony Thomas (Pyrofyre) There isn't too much info on that in the treatises we know of so far in HEMA but there are some-go to 'The HEMA Alliance' facebook group and ask around there if you want to learn more about it :)
+aleksandar ristic okay thanks
+Anthony Thomas (Pyrofyre) You're welcome :)
What every girl needs, her earrings and a good sword:)
1:36 did I just see a spark?
1:26 aa-ha-hah.. That was so cute
uwu
Lol
