HEMA Longsword Tournament Compilation: Wessex League Exeter 2024
Short compilation of some of my best exchanges during the Tier A Longsword Competition in the Exeter leg of the Wessex League (UK) in November 2024.
I didn't perform as well as I had hoped in the longsword category of this tournament (2 wins, 2 losses), but I still managed to get some cool actions. My opponents were all highly skilled, and the matches were very enjoyable.
Now I have to train hard to do better next year :D
I have posted the full fights earlier on my channel, you can find them here:

Short Longsword Sparring Compilation (Historical Fencing)
Very impressive defense, I feel inspired.
Sparks in the first exchange... only in sabre. ❤
I admit I was skeptical at first but as I've gotten older I just can't guard these younger guys on the court the way I used to so I was desperate for something that could give me a fighting chance. Now while I did get some strange looks and snide comments at first, once people saw how effective the long sword is they quickly went silent....or maybe they went silent because of the blood loss. Hard to say. In any event, once I started waving that thing around my opponents didn't even bother driving on me. I had the key locked down so hard it made Covid blush. And the great thing about the LS is that if your opponents get cheeky and try for 3 pointers you've got enough range to poke an eyeball out, thus bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase dead eye shooter.
Is this a quote from a movie or book ? :)
good fight!
Thank you ! Unfortunately I lost this one 😄

nice vid
Thanks a lot !
Excellent! Decided to subscribe. Greetings from Poland
Thanks a lot ! I will soon post my fights from a recent tournament, I hope you will like them!
I love watched fencers who spar regularly like this. I can tell your ability to read each other’s style. It makes everything so epic!
Thank you so much ! Indeed Andrzej and myself know each other very well, so when we fence against each other it leads to some long exchanges 😁
Perfect! This is very informative. Keep your good work up.
Thanks so much !
Good work!
@leszekparczyk9732 thanks a lot !
Hello from Ukraine! Nice to look your chanel.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it !
Was an absolute pleasure to fence you. A real gent.
Thank you ! I really enjoyed our match too 😁 I'll see you around at other events !
whats it like to spar inside vs outside? (the difference)
The main difference is with the footwork. Sparring indoors in a sports hall allows us to use more ''explosive'' footwork, while outisde in the grass the ground is uneven and slippery so we have to be more careful. I think outdoors is more realistic :)
Nice handwork guys!
Cheers man 😁
Very cool video but the music ruined it (no pun intended)... You should try medieval music, or epic music, it would suit better the background
@bretteur2legende thanks a lot ! Well for the music I think it works well as it has a fast paced guitar rhythm with medieval instruments mixed with it, so it gives a "modern meets medieval" feeling, like the video with modern gear but medieval fencing and background. But I can totally understand that it doesn't work for everybody 😅 I'll keep your suggestion in mind and try to find medieval or epic music for future videos. But to be fair 98% of my videos don't have music at all, I was experimenting here haha Thanks again !
@@bretteur2legende btw are you French ?
@@frenchgalloglass oui tu l'as sûrement remarqué à mon anglais catastrophique ! 😄
@bretteur2legende non pas du tout, ton anglais est nickel, c'est ton pseudo "bretteur2legende" qui m'a mis sur la piste 🤣 tu fais aussi des AMHE ?
@@frenchgalloglass Oui je fais des AMHE et j'ai également créé mon club, si tu as un contact je pourrais t'en dire plus en MP😉
Right guy (on the start) really needs to commit into thrusts. Left guy got him like that multiple times, but when having opportunity, right one decides to do more swings. And you can see by the way his body moves he's not entertaining the idea and then giving up, but didn't plan on transitioning into thrush while controlling the opponents blade. Still quality sparring, but right one really needs to work on his thrusts, both parrying and delivering them.
Thanks for your advice. Please post a video of your own thrust game then so we can learn from it :)
Excellent engagement
Merci beaucoup !
Always a joy to watch you fence, same with Rensen as he is my favorite high-level HEMAist.
thanks a lot ! It was great to fence him !
Really nice technique & timing, neither of you seem afraid to get close. Hopefully someday I can approach this level!
Thank you very much ! Egon is a great fencer, it was a pleasure to fight him both in the tournament and during these sparring bouts 😁
I wanted to compliment your first exchanges, but these all are great :) At first three you massacred the poor guy :D
Thanks a lot ! My first opponent wasn't very experienced 😅 I'm happy with my performance that day but I'm hoping to fence better in my last tournament of 2024 in 3 weeks
I dont get it? What is the use? No one is walking around with a sword today
@sebozz2046 what is the use of playing soccer ? What skills do you develop by training soccer that you will use in your everyday life ? None. Same for tennis, or basketball or whatever. It's for FUN. And nothing is more fun that fighting friends with swords, using real historical techniques.
We have a passion for history and we want to understand how people fought in the past. So we read and interpret old manuscripts and then apply the techniques in sparring and competitions. The use is that it keeps us fit while having fun, nothing more. Not everything in life needs to be practical ;)
beau jeu monsieur ^^
Merci l'ami !
Never fence against sword, thou fence against opponent🫡
Super awesome fighting here
@sidneyrobinson18 thanks a lot !
Very good. Additionally, I have found to further protect yourself, it helps to move your body and head to the left (sometimes with a lunging step) towards your opponent’s right shoulder. This allows you to strike deeper and move your body past where their sword can strike.
Thanks ! Yes that's a very good point indeed. I need to try it this way :)
Excellent stuff!
Thanks a lot Axel, it means a lot coming from you !
Very solid stuff
Thank you very much !
Your partners fall into well-described in sources trap of holding sword too high when parrying, thats why they get hit with mittels. I may be easy to fix - all they need is to loosen up a bit and look less after your weapon, since this makes them to move their sword much too early.
Dude, you're improving! Got some sick actions there. Second intention winden ripostes, vorschlag oberhewen... This is really something!
@@Druid_Ignacy thank you ! I'm especially happy with the winden ripostes, and you actually mentioned in one of my previous videos that sometimes I had opportunities to use them but I didn't so I focused on them more and it worked nicely 😁
Any time I see "Arto Fama" in the title of a UA-cam video. If he put out a series on baking or small engine repair, I would watch it hoping to become a better fencer...
@@jasonbaldwin273 I know, right ? Sparring with him was awesome, and attending is workshop was an invaluable experience. I hope I get to do it again in the future !
nice
Thank you !
Haha, you fancy a bicorno, aren't ya? :D
I do, but when I use it I feel like I'm cheating on the german system 😅🤣
The very first exchange is the very reason why start with the arms.
Would you call this first exchange an absetzen ?
0:34 - haha by the book. This works with saber also. And with lognsword too, if we had more mobile gloves (I suppose Meyer has some plays like that).
Yeah in bolognese sidesword we call it tramazzone and in sabre I think it's called a moulinet ? I call it the wrist-sniper3000 😁
Your sparring partners sometimes give you passive bind with light pressure, try sneaking in duplieren or auswinden in there, this should work if there is no lose of additional tempo.
Yes indeed! actually have some videos to post in the next few weeks where I did more thrusting from the bind and less cuttimg around 😁
Amazing stuff! What feder are you using?
Thanks ! I am using an Ensifer Corona :)
Is there any sort of signal given that the one guy is about to make an overhead stab towards the face? I'm just thinking even with the face mask that would still be really risky if that strike somehow connected
@@Cubano1986 no signals given at all, it's not choreographed, and we do land stabs to the face, neck and chest fairly often ^^ You can see 3 such thrusts in the full video from which this clip was taken, it's also on my channel :) the flexibility of the blades and the protective equipment make it relatively safe, we get bruises, but injuries are very rare :D

looks like fun and good workout
It is ! 😁
They make it look so easy but it’s not
Thanks a lot ! We train a lot for that 😁
lovely catch on the hands and a good save exit! love to see it.
@@Creatingtheghost-rp9du thank you very much 😁
I feel like there were quite a few good chances for the red to go in for a thrust. Good sparring still though.
You are absolutely right, there was a few opportunities where I could have tried a thrust there :)
1:16 was nice.
Thanks mate, I was happy with that one, I don't pull it off very often
@@frenchgalloglass If you do some kind of streichen that allows you to push their middle/weak up and away as you do it, it's easier to get thrusts there. I'm playing around a lot with ochs like things at the moment. Finestra and archer etc.
@@cosc_HEMA that sounds good, I will try. Usually after a streichen I throw a cut, like a left zwerchau, but in bolognese sidesword you can thrown an upwards false edge parry from the left (falso manco) and then immediately wind into a thrust, so with a longsword it should be like what you describe. I will try tonight :D
⚔️⚔️
La bagarre !
you guys look so tired.
We'd been at it all day :)
cool exchanges
Thank you very much !
Yessssss the Zettel is back!
Great examples taken "from real life".
