Hey, love your stuff, though it conflicts with some stuff from my manual and teacher, but could you show more of footwork? It’s really easy to mess it up with how it goes unmentioned in these
I have a question regarding sparring fights in general. You are showing in your tutorials various and effective techniques that end in thrusting or cutting "lethal" for the poor knight that deserved them. But from watching sparring fights I got the impression that it comes mostly to simple knocking on the opponent sword and using not sophisticated thrusting or cutting the hands. So I am curious if you practice the documented historical techniques for educational purpose only or use them in real fighting?
Hi! First of all: Sparring and „real fights“ are different things. We can’t really simulate a real fight situation and the effects of wounds and so on. Also modern protective gear and rule sets change the way you act in a fight (IMHO). However sparring comes as close as possible and safe and it is essential to develop your skills and to test your interpretations (and it’s fun!). I recommend to watch Matt’s video on that topic: ua-cam.com/video/0pak-UC-1gc/v-deo.html But to answer your question: I think as a fencer you apply techniques if possible. The problem is: Most of them require certain prerequisites and you have to recognize the situation and how to react really, really fast. But after all: The more techniques you know the bigger is your tool set and this can make the difference in a fight. One last thing: Our tutorials do not end with a thrust or cut but with a proper retreat. That’s important because your primary goal during a fight should be to stay unharmed.
At the part where you raise your opponent's blade up and then suddenly dive to thrust down, won't there be a little risk of getting hands shot by the tip or edge of your opponent's blade?
Anybody notice this is how anakin cut off count dookus hands in revenge of the sith?

Estamos estudando este golpe para prática com nodashi, aqui não perdemos um vídeo, saudações para todos em Viena
I was waiting for this "pop under" attack.
Is the scoring based from waistline up?
Gostei muito da técnica,forma excelente de contra ataque,mostrei o vídeo aqui na academia,todos gostaram da técnica, parabéns,muito muito bom
hello, do you know where can i find a place to learn all the guards, cuts and strikes' names?
Estamos esperando os vídeos novos meus amigos, saudações do Brasil
I needed this 🙂. Keep up the hard work!
where can we find that sword with the shaped(curved) cross guard?
I think Gregors sword is from Arma Bohemia (otherwise please correct me @Gregor).
why did he wanted a curved crossguard tho? Does it actually help him at all?
Estocs are pointy swords designed for thrusting into armor holes.
and the question was "why is the crossguard curved", dude do you even read xD just laughing dude no hates
There are different forms of quillons. First and foremost, it's about the look.

Dreyn Gedi thank you very much for your answer. And yes proper retreat is as important as blocking of the opponent's attacks.
Thanks also for your recommendation of the video about sparring and real fighting. I learned a lot.
You are welcome :)
Learned alot from your tutorials. Only that i train using katana xD
Thank u
Ain't there a little risk of getting your hands cut by your opponent's blade?
Why do you think so respectively which part of the interpretation?

Dreynschlag excuse me for asking please
I guess it might happen but it's unlikely that he can cut your hands from the bind because you control his blade and changed its alignment.
Feel free to ask :) I will try to answer all questions (if I can).
