I got some nice feedback on the recent sparring video with my co-instructor Vlado so I made one more of a session with my other instructor Andrej. Contains your favorite mirror, a little bonus and maaaybe something else than a longsword as well (spoilers down) And explicit language, PG13 :)
Andrej is super fast and has probably the fastest (and most painful) umbschlagen I know. When fencing him, you have to be extra careful not to allow him do it.
From a technical point of view you may notice I've upgraded to 4K. For me that means at least twice more time with editing but for you a better quality output even at full HD (for some reason YT's downgraded 4K looks better at 1080p than a native 1080p video).
Hope you find something interesting in it!
PS: I have a commented solo practice video coming but that will take much more time to edit than I have at the moment, so hopefully during the weekend it'll be finished :)

And if you've seen the video - RIP Andrej's old Moc Feder, served exceptionally well for more than 2 years. We didn't have a spare feder but we had one pair of sword and buckler which we tried to use against longsword. Nothing has changed though, it's still a very uneven combination. The feder and the s&b combo are the new SIGI Forge weapons btw if you wanted to see it in action :)

I need more 4K HEMA in my life.
No talking execpt an occational "kurwa". Slavic vibes😚
I did not think that Slovaks also use kurwa, thought it's only polish f-word.
@@Desmond_Craine Nah, it's a common swear word in almost all Slavic countries. With slightly different uses.
This is the best kind of advertisement for you new Feder. :P
"SIGI Feder. A weapon to surpass metal (sparring) gear."
Also amazed how explosive both of your thrusts and fast your Umbschlagen are.
Thanks Toby!
Mr. Fabian, I really love the way you fight.
Really enjoying these videos, appreciate the effort!
Personally I appreciate 60fps video over 4k. Because If one might rip specific video of the internet and study it frame by frame (done in Premiere pro or VLC) then one can see more fluid action and less lightsabers.
But many thanks, Martin for all your hard work and time making these.
TBH I have hard time watching things over 30fps, I'm a classical movie guy and I like my stuff at 24-25fps. But I shoot everything at 50 frames if I ever wanted to use a slowmo version of it. So if there's a need for it, I can just create another export :)
@@MartinFabian i would love to see some 50 fps sparring
@@Overdrive-19 see the video description for link
@@MartinFabian cool, thank you
That "until" got me sweating.
I thought someone was going to break a finger or something.
Worse, breaking your favorite sword breaks your heart :)
@@MartinFabian I was almost sure that guy on the left (sorry, could not figure out who is who) will get a blade under his mask, and cold steel will tickle his neck. Good thing that it never happened and video is probably outdated, but gosh, you should have mask with better collar.
P.S. I've got a blade under my mask a few times, so I know what am I talking about :D
Really scary feeling tbh, and you feel lucky to stay alive after that, when catching the blade with your hands to stop it from thrusting
Hey, Andrej is a big guy, so he has this problem with most masks. He wears a throat protection, there's a mask with a bib and he also wears the SPES Trinity (which I personally do not like because of the very same reasons, it's one of the worst protections). I have recieved a few thrusts underneath my mask in my life with one which was quite bad but just a bruise. Hopefully no one will get hurt badly. Good sword tip helps :)
@@MartinFabian Oh, it makes sense now. Thanks for the answer and I hope you won't go through this again :D
Awesome, I just ordered a SIGI Feder and sword and buckler, can’t wait to get crackin!
Everyone knew what that "kurwa" meant even without knowing Polish
Just fantastic work. Thanks for sharing .
Thanks Gregory :)
Nice video guys.
Thanks :)
I called out HOLD! here in my empty living room as soon as I saw it :D
:D
Cool video 😁😉
Thank you :)
Cool sparring!
Silly question, but nevertheless: how is Andrej powering the umbschlag at 1:26? It looks like a moulinet to me, but he's also barely raising the hands and the tip isn't dipping much.
It's not a silly question, actually it's a very good question. The tip is travelling quite a distance but it's minimalistic. A lot of the power he gets is generated why weight shift (distance + height) and a correct way of making a moulinet of sorts with a Longswort. Play it at 0.25 speed, it's visible more
Watch his feet. The momentum of his body accelerates his sword
1:09 beautiful!
Too fast an umbschlagen for the sword's own good :D It died doing what it did best though. Btw, 0:06 .. sigi showcase again! Incidentally I also tried to spar with this new S/B combo against longsword just yesterday. At first it felt like fighting a sniper rifle with a shotgun (especially when the other guy did a Geisler...), but once I figured out the closing (via tuta-coperta-like-cover) it was more even :-)
Not everything's in the video but the ration of hits of s&b against LS was like 1:20. There are like 2-3 simple strategies for the longsword guy and s&b won't do a thing. that hasn't changed in years we're occasionally sparring like this. I can imagine if the LS was shorter it would change some things but not drastically.
@@MartinFabian It looks like that from the video. But you probably train LS much more, than S&B (not to undermine your one-handed skills, but it probably does some difference ;-) .
@@ondrejh571 I do train LS more than any other weapon but the principles stay the same, moreover if you're skilled with R&D :)
@@MartinFabian So that brings us to LS vs. R&D ;)
Absolute nice video
Thank you very much!
Ok. I'm going to ask. What manufacturers sword broke? How old was it? I'm figuring it was well used.
Hey Daryl, it was a Pavel Moc feder, about 2-3 years old, heavily used and way past its lifetime. I guess around 10+ tournaments and countless sparrings/trainings :)
@@MartinFabian Thanks, Martin. Don't want to jump to conclusions, without facts.
👍👍👍
Is this sped up?
No :)
@@MartinFabian Wow! Speaking for yourself, could you pull off this speed with a more blade heavy sword like a Regenyei strong?
@@MarshallBouchard I've fenced with swords from most producers, you can check my Pardubice 2017 for a 140cm, 1.7kg Regenyei or Tyrnhaw 2017 for a 136cm 1.65kg Regenyei. I also have a video called Speed Flourish were I compare a movement of a 1.65kg Elgur feder vs 2kg replica :)
