Great video Fede, but Henry is calling me. I have to go clock in at my second job at Kingdom Come Deliverance Incorporated....❤❤❤ Curse you Fede...200 hours in❤

The God of footwork is Muhammad Ali!!!!Watch as many of his fights as you can!

Play basketball! Nothing gives you better footwork than basketball!

Awesome drills mate!

Great video

If one suprise opponent enough, one can land remise (or isn't that more of a redoublement?) also against opponent who normally has good parry-riposte.

Great video!! I tend to prefer closing to grapple when the opponent parties the thrust high rather than trying to land a rising cut against the arms, though it’ll depend on the opponent.

Excellent analysis! Thank you very much!

Great video thank you

Some great techniques thanks for sharing

Great video! I also see some similarities in Chinese manuals on the use of the two-handed double edged sword.

Like Spinal Tap is for musicians, unless your are involved in Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) you will not get the jokes. If you are involved with HEMA, you will get the jokes, but they won't be funny because they hurt too much...

Thanks for your video! im a complete beginner and bought a allstar mask that fits me kind of well but my problem is: every time i look down the steel ring of the mask pushes my larynx in.. never did sparring with someone else but i would imagine getting a blow on the lower end of the mask would be pretty painful if not damaging something.. is that something i have to get used to? or do i have the wrong size mask? thanks in advance, and thanks again for your awesome videos!

Hi, so i watched a seminar clip of Martin Fabian and he said when thrusting to the outside line there's a hole, no matter what kind of parry your opponent use, your point will always land in that hole unlike when thrusting to the inside line, you will have to create an angle when your point got set aside. What's your opinion about this ? ua-cam.com/video/911rb1F-HIk/v-deo.html

How do you deal then with opponents who do land a fast parry riposte? Simply parry and riposte yourself? Also, Recently I've been caught often in this manner. I would attack from donna with either a fleche or lunge, get parried in the crown, riposte coming as if it were to my right opening so I go into crown on right/sinestra and risposte transitions into a sottani targeting my hands at the moment where I've already committed and can't get out. How would you deal with this sort of situation? Cuz I honestly ran out of ideas. Only thing I thought of was sticking my sword to opponents to 'glue' it so that hand shot would be much easier to parry with crossguard, but didn't really test it yet

Very interesting.

Excellent video as always. Thank you!

I am writing the end chapter of my newest book and did a lot of extra research to make it enjoyable. Thank you for that video!

Ah, the punta falsa ❤

Foot work is always important.

I bought a Leon Paul Titan Hema mask from my local dealer. They told me that LP changed the design after a year or two based on feedback from the HEMA community. The only design change was that they tempered the mesh to the same hardness level as the FIE Coaches mask. I hit the FIE coaches mask and Titan HEMA mask with the bottom of my fist several times in the store. The Hema mask had much sturdier mesh. The only downside I see to the Titan HEMA mask is that the bib is so stiff that it causes the mask to slide up my face when I look down - because it barely bends.

So, it's a chess game, where the opponent who can guess the most moves in sequence wins. Brilliant, but scary! And the more physically tired one is, the less sharply one can think. So, 1 v 1 situations, the advice given in the video works, but on the battlefield where soldiers are exhausted and confined by the formations, it becomes a game of overpowering arm-power and numbers. It explains then why the most trained (and thus expensive) pieces of the army (i.e., the Knights), wore a lot of armor and were not thrown to waste during the battle. In other words, since their 1 v 1 skills were nullified by the restricting mechanics of the battle, they had to increase their chance of survival through armor protection and unique tactics.

Excellent video !

And this is why sparring is important. Drill is nothing if you don't know how to adapt and react to your oponents actions.

kendo???

Which longsword is that in the first clip?

This is a huge theme at our club - train the form, adapt it as needed, because the bout is dynamic and your technique should be too.

Catch my sub. Great channel

thx

I don’t understand why people think they need to use archaic Blackletter script and fake parchment background. It’s hard enough to understand the concepts without this.

I'm curious, do other Ensifers handle similarly? Which other feders handle like actual longswords?

"I enjoy the Idea of reaching my 40s with some brain cells left"

"Other important activities" So true 😂

Personally, I really don't like this drill for timing and distance because it fails to take into account a pacient and experienced oponent. I'd rather train more an enphasis on a simple fact: Not because your sword can reach an oponent, dose it mean you can hit an oponent. I then start building from there a methodology of stealing an oponents attention to get to a distance at which I can hit the oponent regardless of weather my he has his guard up. I take this philosophy from Monsieur L'abbat, who illustrates this with a large gathering step and a lunge afterwards, in quick succesion.

Nice sparing and comentary.

Hello Frederico ! I just finished your serie on hema beginner's guide and in your last video you were pointing to a new serie that goes deeper into tactics. Could you tell me the name of that serie please ? I don't find it in your playlists.

Ah yes. EU West HEMA finally starts to use olympic fencing methtodology same as EU East. The circle is almost complete 😉

Wonderful to see the step-by-step!

Thanks for a good video! I have a very similiar view and will send it to people for learning.

What is this shingo?

La mia spada medievale preferita, anche se preferisco la Carolingia/Vichinga, con un pomolo più grande e triangolare o a "conchiglia".

My HEMA school has what we call BashFit.

I thought the sword feeling heavy in the hand due to age was a myth, an exaggeration to emphasise the idea of getting old and frail. But after it took me a month to recover fully from a bad bug a while back, I picked up my sword, and I could not believe how heavy it felt. That was the moment I started to appreciate fully the idea of conditioning one's body.

A lot of us including myself are working off some extra "padding" from COVID years, but even before that i noticed the North American HEMA community has a high% of folks in the unhealthily overweight category. Many are also tough as nails, but let's be real - can we consider ourselves practical martial artists if we get extremely winded after a few 3 min light sparring rounds? Again, including myself here, let's get real and get in better shape.💪

Wait, I need to exercise in addition to training? But I just want to be good with a sword now! 😫

Loving this!

Do you think it's a good idea to do weight training on the same day of HEMA practice?

I hope to start physical fitness very soon. This video dropped just at the right time!

I love how in Kingdom Come Deliverance I, you are bad at fighting until you actually learn to fight. And you actually get better with practice. The bad part... the act of training was so convincing during a weekend long gaming experience that I thought my own fencing got better after playing this game (as in timing, not actual moves)... a mistake easily corrected 10 seconds after picking up a sword in real life again. 🤣 Can't wait for the second game! 🥳 I love Czechia (yes, Prague in particular), and it's unfair to ask a Czech studio doing a game emersed in Czech history this, but can you do the same centred on the Italian Wars? I want to fight in Florence and Bologna and more. And none of Assassin's Creed nonsense. I want the KCD combat system for sidesword and spadone while I'm crossing Ponte Vecchio in Florence or storming Palazzo d'Accursio to oust the Bentivogli family from Bologna. I can only dream 😮‍💨, but I really do wish this combat and game style got more popular in gaming. Winters are cold, dark and gloomy, and a perfect time to play these type of games, so give us more.
