Hey everyone! Something worth noting:
As mentioned, messers can be grapple heavy, so in every one of these drills instead of withdrawing, you could instead choose to engage the off- hand and step in to grapple.
Both are decent and worth practicing :)
Would be awesome to see some solo rondel training or at least some technique break downs. Enjoying the videos tho keep up the good work!
Cellar Door these seem to be pretty popular so we'll definitely keep going :) they're nice and easy for us to film too so it's a win win
If I may request....any chance you have content on the arming sword/knight's sword/one handed sword (you get what I mean) but without the buckler? It seems messer is pretty close, but i wonder....
Just got my practice messer and this is exactly what I need! I'm used to rapier, so this is quite different.
Nicely done as always! I love these videos - really helping me out with my training - which is sadly without the aid of an instructor :(
its like he knew I live in a small town in Alaska!
This is what i was waiting for c:
thanks so much!
Awesome content!
is this a new ensifer? i have a ensifer but the grip of yours seems better
do you know if there are any online training opportunities. I remember when I took fencing, there were all kinds of drills with foot work that you worked over and over again. thanks for these videos!
I notice a lot of false edge cuts, but it looks like the contact is being made below where the false edge tends to extend. Is this meant for draw cuts during withdrawal, or is there another purpose to them?
Reminds me of something called a back cut, which is a well known type of cut used with bowie knives.
Awesome! Is it possible to use messer and / or longsword techniques for an arming sword? Took your advice last time and decided on german longsword!
Kieran Lock there are a ton of similarities and would be highly applicable. There are some minor differences though which would change a couple of things slightly. We'll write up something for arming sword soon
Blood and Iron HEMA ledgends , thank you :)
Kieran Lock we aim to please! It might take a while but we're always writing down what people would like to see :) arming sword is a very common request
Blood and Iron HEMA you just do not see arming sword featured, and basic solo drills are hard to find if you cannot go to a club and practise. It helps a lot when you have videos that are step by steps like this.
Excellent!
How different is messer fencing from sidesword fencing?
Fabricio Zárate you could cross some concepts between the two, but for the most part it's very different
Given the differences in blade design, I'd imagine that sidesword fencing features a greater emphasis on thrusts, but that's just my unsubstantiated speculation.
InSanic messer is thrust heavy as well. The biggest difference is the range in which you operate, and the blade presence.
Edit: ability to switch grips make a big difference as well.
Blood and Iron HEMA I believe that is the most important difference, in sidesword fencing (at least in the bolognese XVI century tradition) there is some grapple but no way as near as in messer fencing, because these can be way shorter than an italian sidesword.
Hopefully I am clear when I say "sidesword" and not "rapier".
Pardon the ignorance, and if it's in the video I missed it, but what's the use of the grip-switch?
The origin of my question is the nagel, because I watched sparring videos and they're both attacking and defending with both sides of the handle.
So that you can block without edge meeting edge.

Even with the side without nagel?
@Jorge Pedbra
As in, you do not want for someone’s sword meeting your blade

Ah okok, thanks
@Jorge Pedbra
Welcome ;)
What is the song at the beginning and end of each video? Does anyone know?
hi my Name is Gami and I have a question, now I happen to like swords and I try to get one when I can I currently own two one is older and the handle broke, and the other is newer and like to handle it often. I'll admit that I haven't been training properly with it but regardless I still like playing with them. now on to my question. Is it bad to like blunt swords more than sharp swords? because I'm always worried about someone using it wrongly or someone ending up hurt. or i accidentally hurt myself with it. and the last thing i need is a doctors bill or whatever might be worse than that. and I don't have the area to play around in either. in short, I'm weeaboo trash trying to figure out a safe way to enjoy my hobby ;P
To start; I am not an expert, but I have some experience and some good advice from those that are.
In my opinion you are perfectly fine sticking to blunts for safety reasons if you don't have an instructor. Safety is important and (most) people that drill with sharps are really just taking unnecessary risks for their egos.
Cutting practice is something else entirely, and is an important part of a well rounded HEMA practitioner. That said it's not for beginners, and it's up to you to decide how serious you want to be about the art.
My instructor generally suggests synthetics for new people and partner drills, feders and feder style blunt steel for competition and higher level sparring, and sharps for cutting training only.
Bin mir nicht sicher dass das ein Messer ist, sieht deutlich wie ein Schwert aus.
What's that book shown at the end?
I think it's Lecküchners book.
I just realise that with a bit of simple editing this channel could look like some nerds fantasizing about swords
You need more neck beard!
"Messer" or "langes Messer" doesnt look like what you are using.
It most definitely is - the one pictured is an Ensifer
