Danke dir!

I thought it would help to get a slight 20ies style

Thank you for the correction! It is so exciting when a Sword comes into your life, enjoy it😁 I also recommend Godinho since his techniques are better described

@@A_Medieval_Shadow Amazing! Gonna add to my future read list to add to my repertoire. Just one simple question: Any advice to not hurt the main arm's wrist using a greatsword? The torque motion during wide swings when the blade has to follow through an almost 360° circle has been too much...

I am collecting data about scottish greatswords at the moment, stay tuned😁

Maybe thats why you have to repeat this rule in the other direction XD

A picnic-date with a bonfire, bbq and terrible humour?

You are absolutely right and this thought kept me awake all night🤣

Hi! When I ready the thrust on my right side I retract the sword so much, that the crossguard is near to my right shoulder. Most thrusts of Figueiredo are performed over the most forward arm so it my look like I ready the Thrust over my left shoulder. With the Right foot forward after the thrust I interpreted it the way I have shown. I agree with you that this rule leaves huge space for interpretations. I always tell people to use the movements that feel either natural or better usable for their experience, body- or swordtype. For example I tried the first version with my huge Flamberge and some movements in this rule threw me off balance, no matter how often I tried. That's where the second version worked much better. My biggest Issue with this rule is: What did the Montantero do that the ships Crew and the harbourpeople want to see him dead? 😅

Yes it is a ship. Performing this rule on a plank seems a bit odd to me, especially when Figueiredo describes to do the same rule in the opposite direction. Like, what did the Montantero do that the ships crew and the harborpeople hate him so much?

@@A_Medieval_Shadow Hi! You mentioned the idea of performing this rule on a plank when entering or leaving the ship. I read and saw this in a lot of interpretations, but I have no idea where it came from. Figueyredo did not provide any detailed description on the context of the rule. Godinho however mentions a rule for the "Gangway of a Galley", where he say: "[...] The same rule will be used in a gangway of a galley, the slave benches becoming the “walls” that are dealt with in the beginning of the rule, but this is understood as the opponents being in control of the stern and bow." So here we do not enter or leave the ship, but stay in the middle, and the opponents come from the two ends of the ship... and in this case, it is clear why Godinho prefers thrusts and tells us not to swing the sword around. But in Figueyredo's version, this interpretation of context can also provide an explanation why we need to cut horizontally instead of diagonally. What do you think?

@@A_Medieval_Shadow 😆 Better be ready for all types of eventuality !

I definately should read Godinho more. In Godhinhos case you are absolutely right. It doesn't make sense to swing the Montante wildly arround if there are too many people nearby that could stop your Momentum. In a similar case Figueiredos simple Rule 9 comes in handy. Figueiredo mentions in this rule often the word Gangway which to my understanding is kind like a bridge between two points. He himself calls this rule "Galley Gangway" so I thought it is about a galley ship. Like you mentioned he wrote about horizontal cuts so there must be room arround the Montantero. I definately need to read more Godinho😅

@@A_Medieval_Shadow I forgot to mention that Godinho's comment which I cited above is at his 2nd Rule, which is called the "narrow street", hence the resemblance with Figueyredo Rule 9. Based on his description, the Gangway of a Galley would mean the middle corridor of the ship. So in my interpretation, the difference between Figueyredo Rule 9 and 11 is about the space around the montantero. In the galley's middle corridor, the footwork is limited to a linear movement due to the benches, just like by the walls in Rule 9. But in contrast to Rule 9, in this case the montantero has enough space to do cuts, he just doesn't want to decapitate all the rowers who sit on the "slave benches". So he uses horizontal cuts to cut above their heads, only threatening the opponents who are on the two sides of this corridor (the stern and bow of the ship).

Thank you for the kind words! I hope my videos do help people who try to understand the manuscripts, which are sometimes a bit hatd to understand

Thank you, we indeed have some nice castle ruins arround so I thought to myself: Why not use them?

Thank you Sir! This Motivates me to do more👍

Sehr lieb von euch 😁

lel, 196cm and over 2kg is nothing. mine is 167cm with 2,4kg. A good weight for yours should be around 3kg. if not, its to light and super thin. Also, the pob is more important as the weight itself.

Because I show here One technique (Regla) from a manuscript that it not easy to understand for people who try to figure out Figueiredo and his Reglas. They are not the best, and not the worst. They simply teach Movement-pattern like Katas in Asia to mantain mobility and give an idea what one can do in certain situations. Other than that: You are free to choose whatever it takes to survive the scenario with techniques you trained before like going into halfswording. If you feel safe using it surrounded from two sides and you manage to break through one side or defeat both then go for it👍 Even Figueiredo and Godinho encourage you to go away from the reglas when the situation demands it.

I forgot to mention: There is also a regla like you described here😀

@@A_Medieval_Shadow yeah I just figured I'd mention it since to me it would be your best bet in that situation. Both parties would have trouble moving around each other so, since it would be hard for them move around your thrust and you would have the reach advantage. And I mentioned half swording because that way you could have more leverage for trying to parry, even with the tip of the sword I think, since they would need to move more mass to try to "push" your parry away cause you're holding a heavier sword and more firmly. And about trying to push through one side of the street right away, that would be your best bet too I think, try to even the odds by taking out someone quickly and taking the initiative.

I am afraid if I put them out of frame I would get banned instantly XD

Indeed, perfect for every Character in a Game
