@@michaelkeha I don't really have any interest in boxing, but both James and I are very new to HEMA (I've only been practicing for a year, and we've only been learning this particular weapon for less than that). Stiff movements and heavy feet will improve the longer we practice. You should've seen me when I was just starting out, I looked like a robot.

@@TBoneHEMA understandable but consider boxing and wrestling(yes not as refined as they are today) was a normal part of what people in the past were trained to do and very much helped one understand many elements of movement and body mechanics that further aid in use of weapons that the weapons themselves don't always teach more so when one is reading from very formalized text so even if you don't have much interest learning about things like proper weight transfer, weight shifting, head movement etc things that are fundamental to things like boxing go a long way to improving your skills with a weapon

@michaelkeha I do practice wrestling and I do agility training. I just have no interest in boxing.

@@loganfillipionasort1220 haha you spotted it again!

@@TBoneHEMA And you spotted me agin :) hehe. 🤣🤣🤣

Yep! For the first half. That's how I hurt my finger 😂 no knucklebow

​@TBoneHEMA ah yep 😂 do you use it more like a messer then?

@@nickblack7910 I should've, but I didn't in this case. I think I've kind of forgotten my limited Messer Training in exchange for what I've learned about dussack lol

@TBoneHEMA I see, I imagine they're very similar. Were you wearing the red dragons?

@@nickblack7910 yeah they're similar, but in dussack you expose the hand a lot more because of the knucklebow. I was wearing my padded supfen gloves that time.

Thank you! Where does that name come from?

@TBoneHEMA The Moulinet?

@@loganfillipionasort1220 yeah, I practice Meyer so I'm not very familiar with other systems.

@@TBoneHEMA Haha it's also confusing when it's from a French one-handed sword system (can still be done with two hands) 🤣😅 But it's the "twirl" or circular motion you do before your strike 😇 (We still use it even tho we also train from German manuals. )🔥🤟 Stay fencing dude 🤺⚔️

​@@loganfillipionasort1220interesting! I'll have to find it, but I believe Meyer talks about it with the longsword as a feint with an out-of-range Sturzhau leading into a cut on the other side as well. I should've stepped offline to deliver the actual cut, but it worked out in this case. Thanks for answering my question!

Yes it was!

Yeah these videos help me a lot. I took the vor like once this whole video. Everything else was nach or indes. I need to work on taking the vor more.

@@BI-ngle thank you! So normally when we spar, my instructor uses it as an opportunity to teach me certain things, so he tries to provide situations for me to try new things. We do a lot of technical sparring as well. This time I asked him to fence me like he's trying to win, so he pulled out all the stops. Hence "high intensity." I also wore myself out very quickly in this match and he recognized that, so I suspect he slowed down a bit about halfway through. I'm currently trying to improve against better fencers, so this intensity will probably become more normal from here on out, but it was the first time I asked him to not hold back. It taught me a lot about my weaknesses, for sure.

@@TBoneHEMA yeah, I highly prefer it over structured teaching. Plus it's way more fun of course. We often do 5 bouts and then chat about what went well, what we can learn etc. good coaches/partners will be able to point out and teach so many things with that, and in a way that makes it actually immediately useable in the next round of sparring. its GREAT!

@@loganfillipionasort1220 thank you very much! I need to work on better active parries and my counterattacks, but I do keep myself safe pretty well. My instructor is awesome.

@@TBoneHEMA Indeed your instructor is, and so are you! ❤❤⚔⚔

@@iBlagg8 I wouldn't have really noticed if you hadn't said anything, but yeah! It's an elementary school so they must not care that much.

@@FunkayMonkay149 welcome to HEMA then! You are correct, I'm in Blue and my instructor is Kyle. I started about a year and a half ago, so I'm still pretty new to it myself. I don't know much about boxing, but any sport that uses high intensity footwork will help you out a lot in starting out. HEMA footwork is usually very specific and important, so make sure you practice that often. I would avoid any cheap foam swords on Amazon. They're usually too light to practice good technique, and also aren't always safe enough to practice on each other. If you're going to be using minimum gear (always wear a mask, some kind of padded gloves, and a cup) then I'd recommend the padded weapons from Go-Now. They try to be as close to the real thing as possible while being safe to hit each other with. We've used them a few times and we like them a lot. Purple Heart Armory is a great place to get gear in the US. And what kind of book you get depends on what style you'd like to practice. We practice the German traditions, so we study the Art of Combat (Kunst des Fechtens) 1570 edition. I don't know much about the Italian or other systems.

@@meeplymoon8391 this is Historical European Martial arts! Specifically the German Kunst des Fechtens (Art of Combat) from the early Renaissance. We practice martial swordsmanship, and this video is us practicing longsword against each other (my instructor basically schooling me in every way). Thanks for checking out the video!

@@TBoneHEMA i can't tell which one is the instructor, i see stances and swings but what are indicators of experience? it's a little hard to see who is landing the hits as well.

@@meeplymoon8391 it's a little easier to see when the video is slowed down. My instructor is the one in the puffy pants (Pluderhosen). In this video I end up pushing into what's called a "high bind" a lot, where I move in to strike and he parries high, so our hands and swords end up above our heads. My go to in that situation is to try and push his elbow to the side with my left hand and expose his head, but he knows that, so he takes a quick back step and throws a short range cut into the side of my head instead. Indicators of experience are hard to see if you don't know what you're looking for. Generally it's quality footwork, quick decision making in the moment, and good form on cuts. There's lots of technical movement here, and hes got 7 more years of experience with this than I do, so my goal in these high intensity sparring matches is to try and stay calm, do what I know, and not get overwhelmed or tired myself out of quickly.

@@BernasLL thank you!

I did not even notice that. Need to add a FNAF sound effect

@@nickblack7910 your thumb has been christened

@TBoneHEMA indeed

haha I never thought about it! Thanks for checking out the vid, I'm glad to hear it :)

@@yuruyenbazlama5535 thank you! This was my first time fencing in my new gear back in May.

@@charlesdarwin5845 this is HEMA! (Historical European Martial Arts) And we specifically practice German martial arts from the early Renaissance. We follow a treatise by Joachim Meyer written in 1570, that covers combat techniques using a variety of weapons, including mainly Dussack (what you see here) longsword, Quarterstaff, and rapier. Our goal in this video is to take things a bit slower and learn how to better apply different techniques in an actual sparring scenario, to help us build muscle memory and understand the utility of the techniques we're learning. Thanks for checking out the video!

@@waynecanne6062 that's a good name for the game

The back stabs were my best play 😂
