It's not hard to imagine how dangerous and effective these weapons were in skilled hands.
Definitely saving this to practice later
I've been learning sabre for the better part of a year, and these breakdowns on sabre have been invaluable from even the beginners guides to patch up some holes in my understanding that have truly bothered me and embarrassed me, tysm! It may be a pain, but maybe having a go-pro angle would help for this system especially too?
A go pro angle is certainly feasible. I do own one. I'll have to see how and where to best utilize it. So glad you're enjoying the content!
Very good
Thanks : D
May I ask which training swords you use? They look lighter and thinner than what Ive seen on other channels. And these guys described their steel training sabers as probably too stiff for thrusts. At least over a longer period of time, it gets annoying and painfull. How do yours perform while thrusting?
And thank You for your fantastic highest level material.
I have a few different sabers for different purposes. In this particular video I'm using a Cold Steel, Hutton training saber. Rose is using a Regenyei Duelist. Both I think fall under the category of gymnasium sabers. Basically a bit longer and a but lighter than real fighting sabers. They're quite nice for both drilling and sparing as you can go fast, and for a long time without much fatigue or getting hit to hard. I also have a Hungarian saber which I love but can't swing for nearly as long before tiring. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Sigi Saber Pro 🤤
The duelist is definitely better in the thrust as the tip is quite springy and gentle. The Hutton is a bit stiffer but not bad with a jacket.
@@resolvedinsteel Thank You, Sir!
Its been awhile since I read Roworth's book , does he mention false edge faints and double cuts?
He does not. I find that fencing, like many arts is about learning good principles but then allowing yourself to be creative with your your own expression and style. Those were meant more as examples of the principle of feinting rather than a comprehensive list of options from a particular source. Cheers!
Definitely helped me in taking the first initiative. But to add, what do you think about Beats? As in beating the opponent's sword off the line.
I think there are certainly cases when it can be effective, especially with fencers that like to thrust with their sabers. I find beating to be most useful in rapier fencing where it's important to keep the point in line. With sabers every cut can beat, and every beat can power a cut.
