As someone who mainly practiced Meyer, trained with Marozzo's primo assaulto and read Fiore's treatise, this was a fascinating feast! Also, mad respect for sparring outside in full gear during this hot summer day...Cant imagine doing this at all.
Awesome sparring, loved to watch you test each other, way more exciting than most competitions. Great quality of fencing and video😊. This was great to watch and to learn. Thank you🤟👌
This is of the most interesting sparring sessions I’ve seen! Always love to see a Vadi-esque approach. Love it, thank you! I need to get a short feder- that thing looks hella fun.
One of the most entertaining sparring of the channel, so far. Never seen before reinassence longsword pratictioners, I think. So I don't know if it depends on pratictioner or manuscript, but the pacing seems totally different from the medieval one. Am I in error?
Bellissima location, atmosfera rilassata e musica dolce, questo è l'ASMR dello schermidore. Non conoscendo i manuali credo di non essere in grado di gustarmi questo combattimento come si deve, ma sembra essere molto ragionato.
Très beau sparring ! Les postures, les gardes et les assauts lancés à partir des différentes gardes sont très intéressantes. Lors des poses statiques ont vous prendrait pour des gravures 😁 Bonne continuation vous êtes un régal pour un pratiquant comme moi.
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. I wanted to ask you if the combat is carried out in the same line to facilitate the recording of it or on the contrary, if there was no camera, would you move more laterally or in circles.
Well it depends from the circumstances. Generally speaking, the only side movement which is influential in terms of tactic is the movement on which you land the attack on target. Because otherwise the opponent can simply walk around with you. So yeah, I move around (you can find some clip on my instagram) but generally most of the times it happens while landing the action.
As someone who's mainly studied & practiced George Silver's system, the lack of circular movement (& movement in general) stood out to me. Silver recommended continual motion in all directions to avoid being a "certain mark" to your opponent. I guess other styles take a more economical approach to movement.
Of all the styles of longsword I've seen, I have seen the least of renaissance Italian longsword. Are there any fighting manuals anyone could point out to me so I could learn more about it? It is very interesting to see.
The main source is Achille Marozzo, Filippo Vadi is another source while being some kind of hybrid between medieval and Renaissance it tastes of Renaissance
Bolognese is well known as the least popular fencing school, but also one of the best preserved. The Bolognese tradition is characterized by the work of Marozzo, Dall'Aggocchie, Manciolino, and the De Anonimo Bolognese, plus Viganti. It goes back to Filippo Dardi who probably started his school in ~1414, and the Bolognese tradition is actually well known to hold over a lot of medieval traditions and techniques from the 15th century.
@@nuancedhistory yeah.. everything you said is true. Bolognese fencers also have the best discussion group in the whole HEMA facebook: Giovanni Dall'Agocchie Also about viggiani, some does not consider viggiani as a true bolognese-styled fencing master, but i certainly do.
@@arpioisme I'm with my instructor, in that Viggiani (got his and Giganti's name mixed up lol) was basically a guy who took the 6 week crash course they gave to people who made the mistake of challenging someone to a duel, and then went off to Venice and was like "yeah well this is what I think of your fencing."
Io cerco di entrare sotto misura perché ho la spada più corta. Comunque da come l’ho “vissuta” sul momento non mi sembrava di essere troppo sotto, poi magari si!
@@carloparisi9945 capisco bene cosa intendi ma ti posso assicurare che se non avessi avuto bisogno di muovere i piedi per colpirlo lo avrei colpito ^^ Se ti riferisci alle prime azioni, la prospettiva della telecamera immagino possa falsare le distanze. Ma anche tenendo la mano destra adesca al corpo, incrociando in punta, saremmo a 105 + 94 cm di distanza circa. Che è la misura delle lame.
Ah! This is something I noticed when I traveled outside of Italy. In many other countries there is a lot of "Good" or "nice" when the opponent does something good. Here is quite rare, and sometimes non existent. We generally swear a little when we get hit and that's hit! Hehe! So it's not him being not polite, is our average HEMA culture in Italy ;-)
Mad-rico is back, ready to bring honor to short Feders.

Thanks ;-)
Nicollo plays out provocations directly from the assaults. I got several "a ha!" Moment. This is enjoyable
It started like samuraï fight in the old movies!😂
Ahahahahahah
Federico Kurosawa
All it needs is some ludicrous blood spray effect after that first hit 😚👌
Minute 11 the answer is actually taught in aikido sword lessons.
Best sparring ever!
Loved that hit you landed around 14:20 - quick little back-edge beat for displacement and cut back while your opponent is still pressing forward.
Thanks ;-)
Ye Olde BONK
A gorgeous video, both the background and the sparring.
Thank you!
The backgrounds in Federico's videos are always beautiful and bucolic. It's like imagining a duel scene from a book.
Oh man, I loved this Federico! The tactical nature of the session really shows in the video. Good stuff!
Thank you :D :D :D
Really nice to see some Marozzo, and some excellent lessons on counterfencing
0:53-0:59 Just both standing there, completely in measure for 6 seconds, you having a bit of an overbind... Great video all around!
Damn and here I am continuing to suck at Bolognese Longsword.
Awesome sparring, loved to watch you test each other, way more exciting than most competitions.

Super relaxing to watch 😊
Thank you! That's how it looked to me while watching it at home, so I decided to keep it entire, without almost any cut.
@@FedericoMalagutti What do you mean, there were so many cuts!
@@Cleanpea ahahahahah!!! ;-)

DAMN that was nice 👍
Yes, this made me wonder why he almost never went for a thrust before?
Love it.

Do you know any grappling techniques?
Yes, but I’m still limited for now ;-)
Ciao Federico, dalla prospettiva dello spettatore, sembra che a volte ingaggiate dalla stretta misura, è una scelta tattica o una regola?
Io cerco di entrare sotto misura perché ho la spada più corta. Comunque da come l’ho “vissuta” sul momento non mi sembrava di essere troppo sotto, poi magari si!
@@FedericoMalagutti intendo stretta misura come "al di sotto della misura d'allungo", non è troppo stretta, semplicemente non serve l'affondo

@@FedericoMalagutti ho fatto bene a scrivere "sembra" allora, invece di "è" :)
@@carloparisi9945 eheh ^^
Are you still using the Ensifer Krona? TH-cam likes to censor the C-word
Yes
@@FedericoMalagutti nice I ordered one a couple weeks ago just waiting for it to come in.
This was great to watch! But, it seemed like your partner landed many flats & was hesitant to call "good" on your landed strikes
