music is 2 low.

Of all the songs in the world he chose this one 😅

Love your video, man! I bought your ebook and plan to get the physical copy for Christmas. Your videos have helped me a lot! The only French source about Vadi I’ve found is an old book from 2013, Vadi, l’art de combattre du spadassin. It’s generally good, but they got some stances wrong-for example, they interpret Posta Vera Fenestra like a "vom Tag." I’m part of a Lichtenauer club, and I’m the only one fencing Italian style. Do you have any tips for fighting against German fencers? 😄

Why don t you redo this series in better production now?? Great work anyway, grazie

Thanks for the video. Pleasure to watch you fence

BEHIND THE HEAD WTF that was awesome

9:40 the press in, nice.

Nice work Connor!

Beautiful work

Loved the full vid too. Started to dig into Vadi in a "serious" way thanks your book and channel.

You do amazing until you attack without constraining your opponent or controllingthe middle line, then your rate of doubling goes up.

0:25 noice

00:23 is 🔥🔥

Looking great brother!

Nice thrusts !

Looking at the Vadi quote @5:21 that looks to me like it could be interpreted as multiple blows to one side via discordant + concordant, followed by a blow to the other side as appropriate... *squeal of excitement*

(mega watt lightbulb does off) So key difference is that the Mezzo tempo rotates behind their blade, while to rotare rotates in front of their blade... Also what you call a discordant action, I would call reverse hip where the direction of blow and direction of hip rotation are opposite. Using this for rotare / mezzo tempo is new for me, where I have found utility is to make multiple attacks on the same side by switching between Discordant/Concordant (or reverse/regular hip) attacks. This works well with both Madritto and Riverso (forehand and backhand). Anyway, I am loving this content (gone through it multiple times, taking notes etc) and I have ordered your book. Its amazing how well rotare and stramazone work with even minimal practice.

What's a Remise? I miss a second, third etc time?

I missed something: "Posta di falcone is one of only 2 guards that doesn't have a (????).... Parry...? Pair...? Pear...? I assume pair, presumably meaning its only done on one side...?

Nice fencing !

You’re holding the sword wrong. Right hand on top, left hand on bottom. Come on, you’re not a witch, are you? Good video, thanks for sharing some solid technique.

That move is the equivalent of don't even fucking try it

Really beautiful sparring. What mask overlay is the fencer in black wearing? It looks a great deal like the wukusi.

Where did you get the sheen/knee/leg guards?

this video/the fencing in it gets better the more times i watch it. It's up there with the martin fabian vs dustin reagan sparring footage imo

Amazing fencing! What feders are you using?

I really don't like fighting a left-handed fencer, feels like everything's messed up. I guess it takes more concentration and understanding of the sword to be truly effective.

Two of my favourite hema fencers fighting each other, is this a fan fiction?😭😭😭

1:26 transitioning through a kind of posta falcone on your stanco side to deliver that cut is very tricksy and cool i've been getting into Olympic saber; the way your opponent withdrew his sword from your cut and tapped you with the afterblow kind of gives me an appreciation for modern fencing's priority rules

My HEMA Hero.

Holy shit I just realized your explanations line up with the beat of the background music

Hey guys, great video. Watching your sparing footage though I can't help but notice that a lot of times after you enter a grappling action you end end up standing, I think, a little too tall. Don't get me wrong, I think all of the stuff happening at the arms is solid and I'm definitely stealing those games but for my money when you have made up your mind to commit to a grappling action you need to lower your level by about 6 inches or if you are taller, to the level of the opponent's waist to just below that height. The reason being if you encounter someone who is also proficient at wrestling and is prepared to fight you on those terms standing that tall is going to make it very easy to get thrown. Sinking your weight lower in your stance (ideally having your hip height be lower than your opponents) is going to be an almost all purpose defense to counter-wrestling given the relatively short duration of most longsword exchanges. Granted there are some exceptions like if you are chasing someone who is retreating but generally I would say it's true that you can and should lower your stance more than I am seeing when committing to a grapple. Oh, and just so you I'm not talking out my ass I wrestled competitively for the better part of a decade, still coach the sport at the school level, still grapple when I'm not HEMAing, have instructed RIngen at my club and I'm also rated in the top 200 for longsword.

return of the king <3

questo facio perchè tu che vorai insegnare sappi che l’arte de la meza spada si è il meglio del gioco & quelli che insegnano o che se tengano boni giocatori & non sanno l’arte sopraditta non sono fondati 🤌

looking forward to more videos in this series!

wake up babe new hipster longsword video just dropped

You're so awesome, thanks for keeping my interest in swordplay for all these years. This info is also fantastic for writing accurate sword fights, showing how fast a fight can end, and would be great references for drawing fights too :0

Noice vid, as always :). Thoughts on ya right hand five fingered glove for longsword? superior fencing right?

Great video but the narration is very difficult to hear over the music lyrics at points

your sword was bent! it's really noticeable in your match against Will Goodman

Good work

Great job! I’m team andrew

Amazing fencing as always. As a lefty and vadi nerd you represent an ideal to aim for!

Congrats for your performance. Thanks to share. Great vídeo. Greatings from Brazil.

I have a question i wantto join your club and I wanted to know if you do coaching? And do you guys sword and buckler

12:44 lol *wiggle wiggle*

So many questions 1. Did you get a new jacket/gear? Where's the green? 2. No commentary on this one? 3. Why so much Donna and fendente? 4. Where's your iconic Vadi pose? 😂

I appreciated you checking on me around 6:45, btw (I was fine). :)
