First Fechtbuch Fabian, now this. It's wonderful to see so many talented fencers and researchers not just translating and interpreting the manuals, but also modernizing and reviving an entire ancient system with much more efficient modern ways of training and teaching, yet still able to maintain the pure essence of the original True art.
13:00 getting people to not default into "shitty sabre mode" is a great challenge - looking forward to all the videos in this series, all of this will greatly help with teaching a group.
Have been involved with various martial arts training, your description of teaching in clubs is spot on, personally the best methods I have experienced are with the army where everything had been battle tested and contrary to common options you are taught to think and question(at least the Scottish infantry regiments are😊) and a golf lesson were a camera was used to show incorrect biomechanics and proven by increased accuracy and distance, This would work well with sticking points for students, merry crimble Oskar😊
Great video! Looking forward to the rest of the series. One suggestion: I think it would be better-especially when it comes to rewatching-to move the preamble stuff into a "video #0" to let this one jump straight into the instructional bits. Another option would be to add chapter markers, which would be a very useful addition even if some stuff was moved to a "video #0".
Great video! I'm looking forward to starting my HEMA training and I can't wait to check out the rest of your video series. Until I find a school with available spaces I will have to practice solo, which isn't ideal but your videos are keeping me inspired! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the video series! Or future series rather. I have always been curious to learn about this kinda stuff. The clashing of swords, parries, feints, steps and dodges... It has so much dimension and depth to it. I wish fencing was a olympic sport, and those rapier foils just ain't it ya know what i mean? It looks neat but... Or maybe i'm just missing the complexity behind the screen but i want to try it out myself. On second thought i am probably missing the complexity as a layman watching TV.
It's interesting how much it seems what Hutton calls "high octave" is used (point hanging to your right, elbow up, for a right-handed fencer). I like it for the reasons given here, but it does leave you in a very constrained position imo. Your follow-up attack is extremely predictable after the parry is made in that manner, at least in saber.
Keep up the good work, there's currently a shortage of good content on Leckuchner. How much have you looked at Meyer's Dussack? I would love a vid on the similarities and differences between the two, as I believe Meyer took a lot of inspiration from Leckuchner's messer.
Great work as always. I've had filming a modernized messer curriculum on the backburner for years, I started it before covid, but it got delayed for obvious reasons. I want to compile the different drills we use to teach various concepts. You've done much the same already, which is great for anyone trying to learn. P.S. I see the blunt rotmillan krigsmesser, what do you think of it? I've used mine for about a year now and it feels pretty chunky.
8:30 that technique is not actually possible with my Langmesser and Kriegsmesser. If the first hadn't been a HEMA rated one, therefore without an edge, it would not have a sharpened portion on the back near the tip (there is a fuller there, for one), my Kriegsmesser does have an edge and no, likewise no sharpened portion on the back (I obviously don't spar with that one, being a sharp blade and all) Well, I suppose it's possible, but it would just be blunt force It was interesting to see, I am looking forward to the next chapters. And am most certainly planning to try this out next Sunday (for obvious reasons, no more Tuesday training this year)

We are truly spoiled in this day and age😊

This is perfect. This is the kind of video the hema community actually needs.

A great video, been looking forward to this for a while. Keep up the most excellent work.

Thank you sir, this project probably won’t get a million views, but it will influence a generation of HEMA practitioners
Can't wait for the next one!
Great video, something that’s much appreciated
This is fantastic work, thank you so much!
Thank you for this fantastic video!
So good, thank you, Oskar!
Best double combo pun at 1:40!!!!

I know Messer Ping Pong from my Pekiti Tirsia Training a Long time ago.
