1:26 russian tie but with swords and armor. i wonder if you could hit russian tie finishes from that position, in particular looking for ways to get behind the opponent and then forcing them down, although actually committing to a 2-on-1 grip is probably a great way to get stabbed in the face unless you're quick about it
Good eye! Yes, a lot of us train a good amount of wrestling. A 2 on 1 is actually a good idea if it's your opponent's main weapon arm, but even then you have to be quick about it, as you say.
@@corrugatedcavalier5266i think black definitely had some great options available from that position, but may have been too fixated on trying to stab you to recognize what was happening. idk if any sword fighting manuals mention that position but if it happens a lot in practice it might be worth just starting there and seeing what you can make happen, especially if you already know what to do in a russian. it's my favorite tie because i can grab it even against much stronger training partners with relatively low risk. it may be worth looking into how consistently you can force a 2 on 1 on your opponents weapon arm from something like a half sword bind, following up on knocking your opponent's point off to your right side
How common are dagger disarms when sparring in armor? There’s so little actual historical armoured fencing sparring footage it’s hard to tell what moves common and which ones aw more rare
Daggers come out very often when both combatants are experienced and when they both have daggers. Sometimes we don't go to them quickly we're working on fighting with another weapon, but they are common
@@TheVanguardFighter one does have to practice them, but I think they're a little easier sometimes in armor because there are only certain places one can be struck effectively
Nah. His point is in the mail but he there was no force/travel on it and wasn't breaking my structure either. Some people may have called that, though.
This kind of fight deserves to have its own tournaments.
Cool to see authentic swordfighting. Very nice of you to show those old instrucion drawings
Thanks! Yea, they're from Fior di Battaglia, early 5th century
TH-cam knew what i wanted before i did, Thanks for the fun vid im definitely sticking around for more!
Glad you liked it! There's plenty more already on the channel as well!
Whoa your Armor and technique looks amazing i might have to get myself more than a helmet soon
Thank you for the kind words! It's certainly a fun hobby.
@@corrugatedcavalier5266 indeed it is a fun hobby, and i am feeling more and more like i need to pick it up
ABSOLUTE DRIP GOING ON‼️ Where do you guys practice? Would love to come visit in kit sometime
Haha thank you. We're near NYC and also have a contingent in Connecticut.
I love your comments and long grip techniques.
@dequitem thank you! Long grip stuff is still something I'm working on, especially transferring from there to short sword/half sword in a fluid way.
