"Ai vis lo lop" by Flos Florum
This might be the best Fiore crash course I've ever seen.
This is like the start of a Medieval John Wick
John Wick on the medieval age...
Nop its not
We simple call Rafał "Polish Fiore"
He killed 3 fully plated knights... with a focking pencil

It's weird, but this just made a lot of what I've been studying for three years suddenly click into place.
Edmund Withnell and are you ready to defeat three enemies, too? :)
Study for three years? When u gunna get out there and actually do it?
@@wedgeantilles1498 he's finally achieved bankai
I'm happy for you ! 😄
@@wedgeantilles1498 Study also mean ''practice''. Pretty sure he already did ''get out there'' and did it.
"I am the sword, deadly against every weapon. Neither spear nor pollaxe nor dagger is worthy against me"
Now that's badass
I would think many of those weapons would best the sword though, especially under the right circumstances. If you were as equally skilled with the spear as your opponent was with a sword, it would be very difficult for them to have an opening to strike. A pollaxe also has the reach advantage, like the spear, while also being difficult to guard against due to its heft. In close quarters, i.e. inside a hallway/building/ enclosed area, a dagger beats the sword.
@@AveSicarius Agree
@@AveSicarius While a spear does have a reach advantage. The sword would be about closing the gap, read by the swordsman, and played and practiced against squires extensively and repitiously. During a close up meatfest that reach becomes too cumbersome and makes it nullified as its unwieldy. While a sword can still thrust. If only we had camcorders back then to see it played out.
@@benjaminplatt4109 well yes, it would be about the skill of the individual wielder and the battlefield conditions.
Though I think you would rarely see a sword vs spear scenario on a battlefield just because of the scarcity of the former.
In a dueling scenario however, even if the spear wielder was slightly less skilled; I would give him the advantage. It would be very hard to get close to an individual wielding a spear with a sword, thrusts are hard to deflect and are linear so not very telegraphed while also being very quick.
It's a similar situation to a dagger vs a sword in such a scenario, a dagger is a much more effective weapon in close quarters. But getting there is the hard part.
If I remember correctly there were several historical accounts of spears/quarterstaves doing very well into swords, they were considered peasant weapons however so I don't think you would see many, if any, nobles ever learning such techniques.
A quarterstaff also is permanently carried at the ready, so can be employed against sheathed weapons in impromptu scenarios.
I agree, being able to see would be much easier. Looking through various historical records, that may or may not be accurate/honest, is really an effective way of understanding technique.
Though eastern martial arts see this also, where master-student transmission has led to ineffective techniques over generations of inactivity. It is hard to think of what situations they would originally have been employed in.
@SlowMotionSword I have extensive practice in several martial arts the basic concepts of which are transferable between all martial arts, i.e. there are only so many ways to fight.
I made an observation based on my experience of how combat actually works. The combatant with a longer reach holds the advantage as they can strike from a greater distance. Linear strikes such as thrusts are much less telegraphed than swings while also being quicker as your weapon is generally already pointed in the direction of your opponent, and you simply extend.
Explain to me how any of those concepts are wrong when the are applied in literally all combat arts. Then explain to me how making up my opinion based on personal experience and knowledge is in anyway linked to "UA-cam demagogues".
You are making a sweeping statement based on nothing; in what seems to be a strange attempt to show off your vocabulary.
If you are going to make a counterargument try to make it relevant to the subject, not simply ad hominem attacks.
this channel is seriously becoming really nice, also appreciate the small glimpse of sword's path :)
Sword path, heh? I see you're a fellow Daoist as well.
"I am the sword, deadly against all weapons. neither spear, nor pleax, nor dagger can prevail against me."
Dane Axe...local Norwegian man literally too angry to die.
Btw as ı like swords, ı think spears are better.
It doesnt have to be 3 meters long to be to get called spear,
Easy to replace spear head,
Pointy thing that basically hurts you,
Anyone can use it, you dont have to have extreme swordlike training to use it.
(Always have a axe or sword so that you can use it when your spear breaks or basically just gets taken away from you)
@@Althairs lmao
You mean dane. Local Dane.
@@Vatt-Ghern no. no I do not.
@@Althairs you can win or lose with any weapon, at the end skills make the difference but a spear has its obvious weaknesses..the sword is a better balanced weapon regarding advantages / weaknesses. ofc only my opinion ;)
Nice video! I especially like the sword throws. Some time ago we were experimenting with various ways and I was surprised how actually easy it is to hit a target.
Были случаи когда клинок ломался после броска?
Shame that one can only give this one like.
Well, secondary accounts are a thing... I mean, just saying.
Once again, "Everyone has a plan until they got sliced through the neck..." Tyke Myson... 😂😂😂
"I put my thord in 'is face!"
Absolutely brilliant! I love the set up for the 3 attackers and the defence against them with the sword in 1 hand. As a practitioner I've learnt a few things just from this video. Never knew about the different movements or turns of the blade itself!
Thanks so much for your films and can't wait for the next one!
Seriously such a glorious ode to Fiore
You don't chose the Armizare life, the Armizare life chooses you!
As a starter, I learnt a lot from this by playing it on 0.25x playback speed, I’m also reading Fiore’s handbook for reference.
It's very good method. Good luck!
@@akademiaszermierzy1105 thank you sir, much of blessings to you.
This video is inFIORiatingly short, but good! ;P I very much look forward to more.
I give that pun a 9/10
Henry goh you are generous sir. Lol
"I am the sword, deadly against every weapon. Neither spear nor poleaxe nor dagger is worthy against me".
Although I still believe spears to be better with anyone can use them plus the reach advantage, that line is just so badass that it makes me wanna learn HEMA, Kendo, or any sword based martial arts even more. Add up that one last line as the cherry on top.
this song is just too perfect for this video and i cant stop watching it
The video almost made me cry.Thank you! In the few years of my life i ve tried many types martial arts and all of them left a void that even I could not understand.Information is abundant equipment easy to find and not too expensive and yet...nearest hema school is 400 km away,friends show little to no interest in ever wanting train or they just simply call me crazy,the forums are silent,there is nobody willing.Training alone is difficult.Alas,i will find a way,one day.Those of you who have a chance to practice with an instructor and other people just as devoted to the craft as you are please be grateful.None of you realize just how fortunate you are.
Haiducul Apusean I can relate. I'm in a similar situation. It can be tough but stick with it. One day you'll find some one with as much passion as you have for the art.
I'm amazed to see this western martial art is still preserved and in excellent health. It truly is a living treasure. Long may these masters prosper.
You guys should totally do a similar one of these for fiores grappling and dagger sections
Artistic, inspiring and educational. Can't wait for the next episodes.
One of the very few practitioners of the sword who move at combat speed.
It's a very important thing, most train too slow.
Happy to be young whilst watching the revival of swordplay, an the rise of HEMA
Am old and renewing practice. I am getting bruised. That's ok.😂
this video and chapter two have actually helped me a boat load with understanding fiores work thank you so much
Beautiful video...The demonstration's & the renaissance music fit really well together.
Very proud to be a friulano as Fiore "Furlano" dei Liberi was.
Great series of videos, indeed! Please make a full movie with the full story of Fiore. With your skills in cinematography and swords choreography it will be awesome!
3:23 i can see alan from the sword's path :D
it's three am, why am i looking up authentic medieval combat
This is the best channel. I wish they would do a weekly or monthly series with This guy going around being a bad ass. No talking. Just music and fighting.
donno why but i got witcher vibes from this video :D i can imagine seeing geralt training with vesemir when he was a young lad
Wow, this video is superb, too! I really love the little story in it, and it's very educational, too. I suddenly feel the urge to get up and join the nearest HEMA club.
I'm really looking forward to see the continuation of the video!
On a sidenote, are you guys planning to make a full-length movie? I think with your talents (both fencing and video making wise) you totally could, and you could crowd fund it as well, I think the HEMA community would be very supportive.
Thanks for the video and also for the info about the music.👍👍
Haha, great to see Sword's Path
Wonderful channel 👍 from Spain 😊
God I love your videos. Hollywood should let you guys choreograph every sword fight in movies. Period. Beautiful work.
You’ve done so well on medieval swordsmanship and so much more. In the future I tend to do my own based of Ancient Rome.
Not worth it
@@TheWolfalpino why?
This is one of the most captivating things I've ever watched
Who knew Fiorists could be people too :D Jokes aside, awesome video, can't wait for the fight
You guys are awesome. One of the only few channels on UA-cam that goes in depth. I really learn a lot from you guys!
Fell like the Witcher with the songs.
Simply wonderful! Looking forward to the sequel!
Beautiful swordplay...beautiful man
Excellent video, guys! Makes you want to grab your sword and do some movements yourself right away. And I really need the Fiore-outfit :)
I have a strange feeling that the camera is a magic mirror showing me a patrician son proud of his sword skills somewhere in renaissance Tuscany. Thank you.
“I am the sword, deadly against all weapons...”
Bow, Crossbow, Arquebus: Allow us to introduce ourselves
Lol, that's what I was thinkin
I mean, I guess it's still true once you're close to them?
Amazing! Can't wait to see more videos of fights and technique!
Meravigliosa Scuola. Grazie.
One of the best Heme instructional videos out there. Thank you.
The single thing missing from this video is a glorious beard from Rafal ;)
That is a sweet engraving on your sword mate!
I like how you bow to the sword - respect its power and it will return the favor. I fence epee and treat my blades with care as well.
"I am the sword, deadly against all weapons.Neither spear nor poleax, nor dagger can prevail against me."
Bardzo ciekawy i dobrze zrealizowany film. Stroje, ekwipunek i scenariusz przyciaga i daje niedosyt. Jesli mnie pamiec nie myli to Wenecka Szkoła Szermierki swego czasu świeciła triumfy, głebszych detali juz nie pamietam. Pozdrawiam.
These videos are worth the 2 month wait !
3:00 when I saw you throw you throw that sharp into wood my soul left my body
Always watch this combat technique series before playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Off to look up my state's restrictions for sword possession now...
Congratulations my friends excellent work I can't wait to watch complete. I send you a big hug from Mexico
The best skills and real performance I have ever seem ,thanks Dear Master.
When in doubt. Remember the basics.
They never fail you
This is what I call medieval dance up to my playlist!
Beautiful!
Jeju. Bardzo lubię i szanuję waszą twórczość. Trzymajcie poziom! :D
I'm drinking mead and watching your video... And I'm trying to figure out a combination of Fiore de'i Liberi's two-handed techniques with shieldless one-handed techniques 12st. and I find it possible. :-) You have amazing and very interesting videos, for example, about the combination of different weapons against each other. It's a pity that we haven't preserved techniques with a one-handed weapon and shield. I think Fiore has a special grace in movement, unlike the German masters. Greetings from the Czech Republic. :-)
Nice throwing!
Fajnie wyszłoooo :D
The patterns shown are very similar to Filipino Kali (which I teach as part of JKD) which was influenced centuries ago by Spanish swordfighting patterns. Adapted to the longsword in this case. Nice choreography and flow..
Amazing
Браво! Большое Вам спасибо!
I hope you guys continue this as a full series. Very captivating rendition of the techniques!
Greetings from Belgium.
Nothing but love. Great transitions and editing. Can't wait for the action.
Amazing! Wow! Thanks!^^
Thanks!
Such beautiful mastery.
Wspaniały filmik, jestem pod wrażeniem, kawał dobrej roboty!
Amazing!! Very, very impressive! If & when I thoroughly master the finer points of the Japanese Katana Sword I plan on taking a trip to Poland to practice & cross train with the masters, perhaps you guys💯👍
The basics! Love the music.
Beautiful. God bless you
"I am the Bone of my Sword
Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood.

Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life.
Have withstood Pain to create many Weapons
Yet those Hands will never hold Anything.
So, as I Pray--
Unlimited Blade Works"
@Dylan t just google it
Great videos guys. I think you really pay great tribute to the master and capture the atmosphere of the time really well. Well done.
Beautifull!!!!!
Awesome video, great technique.
ottimo lavoro! complimenti ragazzi.
Real nice! Can't wait for chapter 2
damn, when i saw this video was here i clicked as fast as i could!!! HYPED FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!
Danke
When you were partying, I studied the blade. When you were having
premarital sex, I cultivated inner strength. And now that
the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the
audacity to come to me for help.
While you were being a pretentious lame I did all 4 of those things and I have literally saved people from dying and housed the homeless even though some of them proved to be disappointing and I am still happy to help anyone I meet who needs help.....
....what good was the skill you claim to have learned or the strength you claim to have cultivated if when you see that world has need of such skill & discipline you choose to withhold it?
All virtues are derived from the cheif virtue, Charity also called Love, and to be a virtuous person requires a commitment to generousity.
I wonder if your judgemental indignation is just a lie to hide that actually have neither skiill or strength, that wouldnt suprise me at all
@@robdeskrd Tfw intense roleplay
@@robdeskrd Charity to fools and evildoers is folly and breeds more evil and folly, while robbing the good and decent of their true virtues through despair. I choose to withhold my skills for the worthy
@@McDice6464
What is this Tfw you say to me? (When trying to communicate via writting it helps to use actual words)
As far as intense roleplay goes the one that sticks out the most in my mind was the D&D game an intelligent, interesting &, phenomenally dangerous convict I know was DM-ing for awhile....
Cheers man
@@stefanodogg280
Charity unto fools could also be called mercy unto the weak and, everyone of us who is now grown and wise which once dependent & ignorant.
The most virtuous use of strength and wisdom is sharing it with the needy.
As for people who are willfully evil I don't have patience for that shit, no what I mean?
(nudge is the same as 😉 to blind 🦇)
I can't wait for more videos! Well done!
Appreciated the video
Fiore seems to be such an amazing master. I am studying Lichtenauer and Meyer, and they both looks like clumsy and "heavy" in their comprehension of the Art.
Fiore is as much agressive, if not much, than "more modern" masters, but he does not lack of style, of... preciseness.
I wish there was some "Fiore teachers" near my location. I do not feel confidence enough to travel this path alone ^^
спасибо авторам за клёвые видео!
firstly: this channel is awesome! Secondly: LOVE THE HAT!
Love this video, love the scenery, reminded me a lot of Velen and Oxenfurt region in Witcher 3.
Hope You will follow with fights asap, can't wait!
Very nice Sir. please make more videos of that kind. I like it so much for learn some practice. great work
To remember our anicent history!
2:14 How you change your stance here is almost exactly like a couple of karate "dachis." Facing forward we call that "zenkutsudachi" or "warrior stance." Facing backwards it's "kokutsudachi" and I forgot what that means. You seem to use them the same way way to, twisting back to block so you're already wound up to strike back. It's cool to see how universal human body mechanics are.
Your videos are awesome ! Certainly the best actually !
Can't wait for second part !
Спасибо вам большое за видео!!!
Немного разочаровывает лишь один факт, судя по комментариям, мало кто из русскоговорящих интересуются искусством фехтования
More!!
Thank you, I have a large double handed great sword, you demonstrated tactics very well...and I like your background music
