There can only be one Mosh in Melbourne!!! ⚔

Brilliant, cheers!

Gold, thank you kindly!!

what source is fifth from? for rapier stuff im only familiar with the 4 regular ones + dagger ones

Just watched second time a half-hour video about holding a rapier and then remembered that I am a longsword user with mittens, and no rapiers in sight.

0:07 0:13 0:15 0:24 0:32 0:37 0:40

Instructions Unclear, Tried to Mordhau and now im missing 4 fingers and my penis.

Holding a violin bow is such a specific grip haha

I can hear a cat. Why is there no cat on screen? You should definitely show the cat.

I want you to know that I'm resisting the urge to troll you and say: "That's just like overfitting!" But also do you feel like what you're describing has similarities to overfitting and if so could it be countered in the same ways someone counters rigid thinking?

Beautiful advice, applicable in every part of life.

Hey ! Thanks for these commentaries ! About the foot question at 8:51, I checked both the book scan on Google Books and the transcription on Wiktenauer. It seems like your translation has a mistake there, as the original text says "& eſlevant le talon du pied droit", which means "and lifting the heel of the right foot".

this is absolutely fascinating, I freaking love your Thibault explanations. Its so hard to find good content on Thibault

The Kindle version is a reasonable starting point.

💚

Damn these audio books getting kinda weird

Fiore would be friends with Thibault and become a diestro :)

Looking good 👀⚔️

Why you make sparrings like this çeçeçeçeçeçeçe

Okay who taught the rapier fencers Meyer?

Looks fun🦊

Thrust out into Narnia 😂😂😂

I am shocked there isn’t an essay long comment from the knob king himself. You must be getting a multi-hour video reply instead.

In the 70s and 80s there was an epidemic of Eastern martial arts charlatans like Ashida Kim and Frank Dux who basically just made shit up then claimed to be the deadliest men alive - Shad is just that with European swords, and I wish more people made that connection. He's Steven Seagal in a gambeson.

My favourite thing is that the same people commenting about how it doesn't matter that he doesn't do hema also probably get mad tilted when someone says their favourite loser wouldn't win a fight against another UA-cam sword guy

When a loser isnt the right type of loser to hang out with you losers.

Dat mean girl energy.

Shad doesn't claim to be any kind of HEMA Master or even a HEMA influencer. He's maybe done some in the past and has some familiarity with the terms and basic guards. He's never posted a video of him performing any HEMA techniques or sparring, which I think that says all you need to say about what he actually contributes to the HEMA community. But this video is more cringe than anything, especially with the fake/forced laughing. The only reason Shad's name is in the title is so you can ride the algorithm with common search terms.

I'll give you that he might not be the most trained dude in HEMA swordsmanship, but it does seem like most of his background in it is from years and years ago, probably around the same time he did what amount of natural arts training he did. The guy is making a full time job out of creating videos, he has kids and a family, he's doing projects qround his place, and he runs like three channels. I thought it was pretty obvious the guy isn't out there trying to do HEMA anymore, especially with his fatiguing health issues. What that doesn't mean is that, the guy can't practice and learn stuff on his own. What that doesn't mean is he can't at least learn history. This is like watching a sports player trying to dunk on someone for playing a sport, when that guy is just havibg fun with the history and idea of the game. He's not claiming to be some grandmaster of swordsmanship. This is some weird jock versus the more successful nerd type behavior... And your comments, I can tell it's just full of your echochamber of fans... It literally sounds like the stereotype of a bunch of goons laughing at the big guys' jokes parroting what he said, because they all crave your approval... Why the hate? Shad is real, but you were literally never on his radar, so why do you even think he'd hurt you? You can keep doing HEMA, leave Shad to his videos and book writing. If the only HEMA groups around him act like petty catty women that just gossip behind your back, I can see why he wouldn't even want to get involved anymore. And you're the fucking head coach? Is that the same as highschool head cheerleader now, because the stereotypical behavior fits. Like you have the other guy a pass for having a life... Meanwhile Shad is terraforming and building shit in a chunk of land he bought, wrote a novel that got released into a comic, Is running three different channels and operating a buisiness around content creation, and spends his life nerding out over shit he enjoys, and the biggest part: Has a loving wife and like three kids he's raising. So... Yeah? I think Shad's got a life too?

I find Shad pretty cringe and think its pretty obvious shad doesnt practice HEMA and has a very basic knowledge but i think this single video has to be more cringe than anything hes ever made

Hmmm, I mean Shad does exist, but he still can't hurt you 🤣

It's sad he has the biggest audience on swordtube and he's a complete poser. He just talks about popular fantasy topics so nerds click out of curiosity.

Bum-fuck-narnia might be the most aussie thing I've heard in a while and I've been watching grouse house.

Eh, 2:35 minutes of you being an asshole and not making a point.

Shame that Shad is the mainstream internet face of aussie HEMA. He used to be able to sell himself well as a youtuber, shame the product is so faulty :D This channel better get popular. FFS, show some cleavage or something. Show us how to strike an oponent with a fortnite dance or something, who's this Thibault nobody you keep going on about, does he even have a tiktok? :D

knowing shad we gon be getting a 72 hour livestream out of this one gamers

So Shad's like those weird fake homesteaders in America minus the fact that those guys occasionally can be good at carpentry. They're just in the boonies doing.. things...

Shamiversity doesnt do Hema? Say it aint so!

Had isnt real he cant hurt you 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Would you let him join a beginner's course?

HbomberGuy colab exposes Shudversity

Just the title had me rolling for like 5 minutes hahahahahahaha

Mosh, I am requesting instant psychic transmission of all ur rapier knowledge and ability.

I say often "given the choice between disengage and die, most people don't fill in the bubble for answer B." It's good to hear somone else has a similar process.

I used to fence saber, this was awesome to see.

This unexplicably ended up in my reccomendations. Im slightly interested in HEMA, but im just a non-practicing dude from Poland, so this showing up on my YT front page is unexpected. I just wanted to say that despite my initial lack of interest I spent past 12 minutes watching, absolutely hypnotised. You seem like a great teacher. If I somehow start doing rapier HEMA in the coming years, I'll propably say it all came down to this YT video randomly showing up in my recommended :D

Where are your masks?

There was a passage I was reading today that reminded me of this video and I would like your take on it. It is on page 226 in Academy of The Sword (Chapter 15 after circle 15). 'But concerning the pauses that we require in the midst of the battle, it seems to them that they have good reason to argue. For they object that every moment that one does not seize and every eye blink in which one holds back, are indeed mistakes for one is not able to put the enemy in disorder, except by so much quickness that he does not know which part of us he ought to attack. They also object that if we try to do anything else then we will not be able to do anything useful, neither in attack, nor defense as slow movements will not be able to raise defenses to counter so many quick movements , which pass one way and another, and arrive before one is able to stop them.' This to me is a beautiful articulation of the Italian way of going about fencing and in particular the understanding of tempo which is different from the way Thibault does it. Fabris I think would say that lifting up your foot is a tempo so in this respect maybe Thibault is in dialogue with Fabris. I think Fabris would also say that holding your foot up for a period of time is also a tempo. The response to this criticism that Thibault gives is, 'I replay that it is not our intention to prize slowness alone and to devalue swiftness, but rather one ought to have it's proper place, and so indeed should the other;... the great preparations are not to be feared but rather the great attacks, and in order to accomplish the latter it is only necessary to be sure of 𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡.' So the thing that Thibault is prizing and is sacrificing for seems to be having that good approach. Which I think is probably one of the principles of Thibault, 'That which begins poorly cannot have a good end.' (Rule is from page 69 of Chapter 3). Thibault seems to have sacrificed the ability to punish the opponents at Larga for what he sees as a better approach. Do you think this sacrifice was worth it?

Neat! I’ll have to play with it. I think the frustration answer to this would be retreating actions especially in sword and dagger. lol as far as upward beats go, they can be super funny when you can get people into circular actions! More of a later rapier thing but hilarious to disrupt people that get into things like the disengagement-counter disengagement loop
