Your fencing always impresses me, so maybe you can answer my question, and this is mainly with saber, but anything really. I can guard incoming strikes well enough, I can see targets and hit them, but when I strike I double more than I would like. What am I missing?
Often a laser focus on hitting an available opening gets in the way of defense. Your opponent is always open to be hit somewhere, but not all openings are safe, therfore it's better to set up and create a safe opening, forcing your opponent to respect your threat, than attempt to exploit mistakes or openings that may never appear in a profitable way
Nice. Can bee about XVII, XVIII century? All best from Poland. Its late medival time? For sure is not XII- XV. I AM not sure about XVI. Maybe late XVI as well.
Good fight. Is the music really necessary though? It's a bit loud and takes away from the fight. Also would be cool to add little text boxes detailing hits that landed (or missed) on each fencer in the bottom left, bottom right, and in the middle for both. Sometimes it can be hard to see them (or hear them, what with the music lol) land from a static viewpoint on a video. Just my two cents. Thanks for the video!
Always here for your uploads. Nice and clean fencing. I dont know much about rapier, but your posture reminds me of Ton Puey so i assume you practice Destreza?
When I watch plumbers videos of their tools they are always dirty and rusty (in a good way), but electricians videos always have tools that look brand new or unused. Plumbers are putting in the real work and their tools show it.
Yeah, I've seen research that says southpaws exist purely because they'd throw off right-handed opponents. I have no idea of who these people are nor their comparative levels ... is lefty simply not as good, perhaps?
One day I hope to learn some saber from you. Or really anyone from your club, you guys slap. (Also, footwork stuff, because your footwork is SO clean.)
tell us more about dueling saber, i already know a lot about military saber and never heard about dueling saber, would you tell more about it? im confused.
For modern HEMA now days, Dueling saber are a lot lighter and easier to maneuver than military variants that's very tip heavy. For historical context, "dueling saber" can means any kind of saber being used for a duel between 2 gentlemen, both light and tippy tap ones and heavy choppy ones

Great choice of music!
Gyatt vs. Wyatt
Dare I say that lad (definitely not me) got cooked
Why does the hyperextension of the knee add so much drip to their fencing?

Thanks for the matches!
i need that vest that ton wears seems so neat for rapier.

I kinda experiment back and forth with late period where they mix styles But Ton is a good friend of mine, I currently have 3 uploads with him
@charlesdeiliberi ah that's right. Good stuff, man

That was gorgeous Saber play... Thanks for sharing!!!
Is this La Verdadera Destrezza?
Ton Puey is perhaps the most famous diestro [fencer practising Destreza] of our day, but Charles is doing a different rapier system.
That is an awesome location to fence at! Where was this?
Houston texas
@charlesdeiliberi very cool. Great fencing as always!
Always a pleasure to watch! And an impeccable music choice as always for the rapier. You're making awesome use out of your offhand.
Nice fencing footage ! What treatise do you sutdy ?
late period italian
Looking snappy!
How is this scored? Every time a contestan says yes they are admitting a scorable point?
This was just freeplay so no scoring here
Vibes
Nice, my son! Enjoyed your sparing with the beautiful castle and woodlands in the background!
Just started watching, but my money's on the guy named Michael Longsword.
Right versus Left is always interesting.. the right handed guy did pretty well against a smaller and arguably faster opponent
Yeah, I've seen research that says southpaws exist purely because they'd throw off right-handed opponents. I have no idea of who these people are nor their comparative levels ... is lefty simply not as good, perhaps?
Those hitmarkers are a really nice addition!
Tired of that little kid in the background going f'in craaayzaaay. Who's this guy mister balloons?
😂😂😂😂
Левый интересней
Ton Puey is everything I want to be when I grow up (I'm 30)
How does the fishtail work for hand-on-pommel actions?
Truly a fight between Masters
Good fencing, bad music.
Balanced as all things should be
The title made it sound like you were about to have a battle with tetanus
Yo I'm not the only one!
this shit is fire
0:48. Beware of the camera!
One day I hope to learn some saber from you. Or really anyone from your club, you guys slap. (Also, footwork stuff, because your footwork is SO clean.)
mario and wario type names
Looking good guys!
Having a good partner & opponent must be very happy
You seem to do better every time.
Yeah, his technique has improved a lot
Hell of a needle drop 👏👏
hey, thats me! I'm famous now!
A private lesson from THE Charles Turner, what an honor! I heard he's the Levi's Fountain of East Texas.
. Ha more like he's the Charles Turner of Kansas
wooop!!! love this! id love to see some staff fights and sword n buckler, love those. 24.8.30
Just thinking of kicking the glove on the first few tries already feels faster. Will be practicing this a lot, thank you!
That song sounds like Kingston Wall, Nepal or some such shit. Am I wrong?
7th like and 46th click.Proud of it.
A paean to the chest protector.😊
