Also I love how gracefully you support your opponent's plays as well as yours. If he did something well you point it out so we can learn from your wrongs and his rights. That thrust at 3:05 was nice :D
As someone who loves watching your videos but I don't know much about sparring, the narration is really valuable and really helps me watch the whole thing without becoming disengaged. Thanks Robin!
The voiceover definitely adds value, it helps keep track of the action and lets us know what you were intending to do, rather than just seeing the end result once the plan has made contact with the enemy, as it were. Great video as always!
You two are so talented! The commentary helped my understand the intricacies of each situation a lot more than I otherwise would have. Amazing work! ⚔️
I keep coming back to this, your flow is fantastic. Constantly moving from one action to the next without stopping or pausing in between is something I've been trying to practice, so I keep stealing bits of your footwork and follow-on actions to try out in sparring.
This was brilliant. Love the voice over. Very helpful. Even a little slow mo would be great to better see the strikes and parries more clearly. Thanks for sharing it this way!
this voiceover multiplies the engagement i feel from the video 1000x, it’s so intriguing and interesting to see and hear you break down everything going on! also i love the laughter in the background, i can only imagine how much fun this must be for you both!
Definitely a fan of the voiceover - noting the plans you had for the night and seeing the intentions behind each exchange are a cool new layer. I’m also appreciative that you show your sparring partner’s good hits, too. And great fencing from both you and your sparring partner, keep it up!
I love this format! My group hasn't been training so I've been training by myself sometimes. The narration helps understanding what is happening and just watching these allows me to learn a few things myself! Please bring more of these!
yes!! the voice over is so helpfull to get a better grip on the techniques and level of training involved. It stops being a “cool fight to look at” and starts being a lot more :)
The narration is great and really helps to visualice what we’ve seen in static training situtions Also hearing the “i miss a beat and i run in to the point” made the video for me, so unexpectesdly funny
The narration is perfect. Anything you mention that I don't catch the first time (which is a lot, I don't practice this art), I can rewind to see what I missed! I know it's a bit more work, but the voice over is very helpful for info.
Like many others, I had no idea how complex this practice was. With your videos like this I get a chance to see respectfully created historically accurate sword combat
Seeing you explain the moves in a short is pretty good, but hearing you call out the move as you do it against a live opponent is a HUGE help in being able to understand what the moves are and how they work! I feel like I'd spend all my time practicing things like the Zwerchau(?) and then spend the whole match hand sniping lol
You both are very great to watch when you guys spar, both of you guys are skilled and yet both of you get better as you progressed, I hope you guys get into one of those renaissance fair battle contests. You both would make a great team, and tbh you'd probably win too.
me and my friends have recently been getting into longsword sparring with homemade foam swords, and this was a really fun watch as i now get to see how bad we were at it (in comparison to this)
I very much enjoyed the voiceover! Definitely learned a lot. (When you said "got my second wind" my brain immediately went to DnD and said "oh so he'd be a Fighter" 😂)
VO was neat, I've never seen your stuff before, or any fencing content at all until now. Took me half of the video to figure out which one you were. Would recommend mentioning that in the beginning or some on screen text maybe? This is really neat stuff though, will continue to watch your videos. Love finding new stuff
The VO was very useful, made me really think about doing this as a training/review tool. I liked the way you had added the hits with Xs, is there a simple to use tool for doing this?
I wanted to just point out a difference I noticed. I saw that when you stepped, your feet got closer together while at my club, I learned to step so they got further. I thought it was interesting seeing how interpretations differ.
Great vid! Random question, is there a weapon equivalent to a beer keg? My friend's and I used to play Brush v Keg and we are split on which should win consistently with trained fighters. I'm a brush man myself. (sweeping brush)
Hey, I am interested in swordfighting, but i did not understand the difference between hema and fencing and signed up for fencing classes. If i were to switch to hema after my 9 week class is up, how well would any skills transfer. Very insightful and entertaining video, by the way.
For HEMA, are the swords hardened (quenched)? I'm wondering, because i want to make myself one, and i want to follow the regulations the swords need, thanks.
I have no idea, but I really dislike going for people's hands, it just seems...boring. Though, Im curious if it's realistic or we just assume its realistic. I'd like to get into HEMA, but I dont have any facilities near me.
Love the voiceover. It's my first time seeing any kind of sword sparring so I would have lost interest within the first minute without the commentary. One more note, I didn't know which person was you until I inferred it after four bouts. Would be helpful to new viewers if you briefly indicated which one you are.

As a noob trying to learn HEMA things, the voiceover was a HUGE help in comprehending every little thing that happened so fast. Big ups for this one
Also I love how gracefully you support your opponent's plays as well as yours. If he did something well you point it out so we can learn from your wrongs and his rights. That thrust at 3:05 was nice :D
Same here, much appreciate this kind of content
Same here.
Narration is so helpful!!!
Now I can put terms to what all skills we'd been working on.
So cool.
As someone who loves watching your videos but I don't know much about sparring, the narration is really valuable and really helps me watch the whole thing without becoming disengaged. Thanks Robin!
The VO is a big help :)
Seriously without it it's all just cool sword swinging for me
Love this format and great fencing!
The voiceover definitely adds value, it helps keep track of the action and lets us know what you were intending to do, rather than just seeing the end result once the plan has made contact with the enemy, as it were. Great video as always!
the narration is super useful for people who don’t know a lot about the technique behind it (me) awesome job!
I think the voice over is great. I really enjoy the added perspective, and I think the insight is instructive.
You two are so talented! The commentary helped my understand the intricacies of each situation a lot more than I otherwise would have. Amazing work! ⚔️
I keep coming back to this, your flow is fantastic. Constantly moving from one action to the next without stopping or pausing in between is something I've been trying to practice, so I keep stealing bits of your footwork and follow-on actions to try out in sparring.
i'd like to imagine someone walking home late at night and then seeing two guys fighting with swords lol
I started off coming here just to say your style in your other videos is impeccable, now I'm just sitting here enjoying some HEMA exchanges.
This was brilliant. Love the voice over. Very helpful. Even a little slow mo would be great to better see the strikes and parries more clearly. Thanks for sharing it this way!
This was really cool and I'm glad I found it. I enjoyed the voice over and the education throughout the sparring session. Please continue!
this voiceover multiplies the engagement i feel from the video 1000x, it’s so intriguing and interesting to see and hear you break down everything going on! also i love the laughter in the background, i can only imagine how much fun this must be for you both!

And great fencing from both you and your sparring partner, keep it up!
Dig the voiceover. Also love the distance management, no wild collisions. Very clean fencing!
I love this format! My group hasn't been training so I've been training by myself sometimes. The narration helps understanding what is happening and just watching these allows me to learn a few things myself! Please bring more of these!
yes!! the voice over is so helpfull to get a better grip on the techniques and level of training involved. It stops being a “cool fight to look at” and starts being a lot more :)
Very cool. Some people just run right into each other, but you guys spar like it's a real sword duel. Awesome
The narration is great and really helps to visualice what we’ve seen in static training situtions
Also hearing the “i miss a beat and i run in to the point” made the video for me, so unexpectesdly funny
The narration is perfect. Anything you mention that I don't catch the first time (which is a lot, I don't practice this art), I can rewind to see what I missed! I know it's a bit more work, but the voice over is very helpful for info.
That was very interesting. I have to rewind often to really see everything you bring up, your explanations make the footage all the more insightful.
Really great and helpful voiceover!! Thank you!!
Would love more of this. Can quite happily watch this all day.
The narration really helps my understanding of how to use different techniques, please keeo it up
More of this
Loved to hear your voice, it adds a lot to the fencing you look amazing. keep it up!
Thank you for the narration. It really adds educational value and clarity to the video.
This is so cool! It makes much more sense with the voice over explanation. Good learning tool
Very helpful to hear the commentary. Thanks !
Like many others, I had no idea how complex this practice was. With your videos like this I get a chance to see respectfully created historically accurate sword combat
Really liked the voiceover!
we should all review our sparring, this is the best way to find faults and improve. Gotta get pass the embarrassment of failure
It works
Seeing you explain the moves in a short is pretty good, but hearing you call out the move as you do it against a live opponent is a HUGE help in being able to understand what the moves are and how they work!
I feel like I'd spend all my time practicing things like the Zwerchau(?) and then spend the whole match hand sniping lol
This is really cool, thanks for the voice-over!
Haha this is sick. The narration is cool so we can see the techniques. Sparring and sword combat is interesting.
You both are very great to watch when you guys spar, both of you guys are skilled and yet both of you get better as you progressed, I hope you guys get into one of those renaissance fair battle contests. You both would make a great team, and tbh you'd probably win too.
This is the most interesting!! It’s awesome.. it all interesting but this is gold!
It was really interesting and the voice over really helped.
Super interesting! Please keep the format
Excellent video, I can't wait to get into this sport
Some lovely exchanges and the voice over was great.
As someone who does foam, this was great! thanks!
Voice over is great!
Narration helps a ton. Thank you.
Awesome video!
Voice over was peak thanks!!!
Definitely appreciate the voice over
Yes please keep up with the voice over!!
The Cake vs The Rake
love the inclusion of the voice over!
Love the Voice over, love the video !
Amazing
me and my friends have recently been getting into longsword sparring with homemade foam swords, and this was a really fun watch as i now get to see how bad we were at it (in comparison to this)

The voice over is nice.
Cool to see you in action.
Good stuff, love the VO
The VO was very useful, made me really think about doing this as a training/review tool. I liked the way you had added the hits with Xs, is there a simple to use tool for doing this?
I add them in with my video editing software. They're easy enough to do.
Wonderful video!
Awesome. Good outro jazz.
Really nice exchanges !
I got halfway through this seemingly very confusing video until I realized I was looking at the wrong guy
Maan these sword clashes make bad ass noises
I don’t know much of what fencing is, but this was really cool!
This is wild.

Yes! Do more voice overs, please!
I can't remember whether you changed your youtube profile picture or not but it's the cutest thing ever
Great stuff! ^^ wp the pair of you!
The voice over is great! Please continue. 😅
In Game of Thrones sir Barristan would cut off hands, legs, heads of Garphia's sons
I wanted to just point out a difference I noticed. I saw that when you stepped, your feet got closer together while at my club, I learned to step so they got further. I thought it was interesting seeing how interpretations differ.
Great idea, yes, more lol
3:37 is my favorite
This video is invaluable to fantasy nerds like me
I like the voice over. İt's more educational
where is your stab when it is wide open? just a 56 old Dutch HEMA fan that came arcoss this video! I am out there since 2019 so still learning!
Great vid! Random question, is there a weapon equivalent to a beer keg? My friend's and I used to play Brush v Keg and we are split on which should win consistently with trained fighters. I'm a brush man myself. (sweeping brush)
Swordfights irl are actually scarier than gunfights, imo. But that's just my opinion.
thank god for armor, fights would be over in a second
I’m interested in learning do you have any recommendations on where to start for example some sort of classes or something
Hey, I am interested in swordfighting, but i did not understand the difference between hema and fencing and signed up for fencing classes. If i were to switch to hema after my 9 week class is up, how well would any skills transfer. Very insightful and entertaining video, by the way.
Sport fencers making the jump usually do really well, though with only 9 weeks, it won't make a huge difference either way
Badass. Next time do with sharp swords pls so we can have different opponents every time :)
how do you think you would fare vs an unarmored kingsguard or william wallace from braveheart or Ragnar Lothbrok?
Man i really, REALLY want to get into HEMA but i''ve had a look around my area and i've seen barely anything to help.
Have you tried Hemaalliance?
@@nicopetri3533 I did not, thank uou very kindly!
How does one get into sword sparring
I did fencing as a kid and it was really fun
You should check out For Honor’s New Warden Animations!! (Hilt strikes)
Have you done a video on the most realistic sword fighting game, Hellish Quart?
do you have any material on using footwork to simultaneously deceive a cut and deliver your own cut?
Hey fellow warrior, May i ask where can i get the sword? I would love to get started!
For HEMA, are the swords hardened (quenched)? I'm wondering, because i want to make myself one, and i want to follow the regulations the swords need, thanks.
I have no idea, but I really dislike going for people's hands, it just seems...boring. Though, Im curious if it's realistic or we just assume its realistic. I'd like to get into HEMA, but I dont have any facilities near me.
Hello, I want to know how many styles of fencing with a long sword are there or what styles of fencing do you know and practice?
Where do I start learning this immediately ?
Love the voiceover. It's my first time seeing any kind of sword sparring so I would have lost interest within the first minute without the commentary.
One more note, I didn't know which person was you until I inferred it after four bouts. Would be helpful to new viewers if you briefly indicated which one you are.
