That's an amazing explanation ! I've had trouble with the simple rule 9, and I think my footwork was wrong during the transition. I appreciate the time you took to put this video together !
Thank you very much! Figueiredo didn't explain much in his rules, so there are plenty of possibilities how to execute the rules. If you find one that works best for you, go for it👍
@@A_Medieval_Shadow Honestly ? The more I practiced them, the more they seemed like an explanation in itself. Just the very first rule feels like a declaration of "This is how a greatsword operate. This is not a longsword, this is not an halberd, it's a greatsword. Use it like one". And each rule seemed like a new lesson, I kinda liked that. Thanks a lot for the encouragement !
@@A_Medieval_Shadow howdy Shadow. I've always wanted a flamberge Rapier, but ended up going a different route. Should you ever spar with it, let me know if what they say about blade effects are true, Cheers good Sir.☘️
@@shawnclifford362 I'll be damned, this is awesome. The wavy blade is able to bind Spearshafts more easily since they can fit into the spaces in the blade. Swordsblades also do bind a little bit more. It is a nimble, easy to wield blade and I had nearly no exhaustion from wielding it. Just from footwork. The blade is pretty stiff, so no wobbling or bending around while swinging. It has a beautiful, highpitched sound when it hits metal and I see very little damage so far. Just scratches and little, tiny nicks.
@@A_Medieval_Shadow Greetings and salutations, Shadow. Excellent, great to hear. Yes, I've seen as well as heard talk about noodle blades and the disappointment there of. From what I could see, structurally sound and well proportioned sword. Spears are a pain aren't they 😆, the shaft binding is cool asset.. thanks for responding Amigo. Slan go foill ☘️
It is doable, if you and your friends start slowly first. Keep it safe with gloves and a helmet or hema headpieces. The more armor, the better it is but you can do it with lowgear too if you both spar safely. The biggest drawback (unintended Pun) is that you mistly gave to hold back with the force. Sure, A full commited strike can beat every smaller weapon aside and still hit the person wielding it; but this is too unsafe if you don't have a full buhurt Kit amd the neck of a Bull. But try it out, experiment on it. It is very cool
Hi! My new Flamberge is 182cm long and weighs 3,5kg which maked it surprisingly livelier and it feels like it is lighter than my old one. The distal taper on the Flamberge is well done and do a good job on the overall balance. My old one is on the base of the blade as thick as on the tip which gives it a hunkier feeling. So I think this is why the Flamberge did cost 800euro and the straight Sword only 380euro.
Och eine Grundfitness ist immer notwendig wenn man Sport betreibt. Was ich aber sagen muss ist dass man langsam anfängt um an den richtigen Muskelgruppen ganz allmählich Wachstum zu erzeugen damit diese deinen Bewegungsapparat beim Zweihänder unterstützen. Der Rest ist Ausdauer, also ist einiges an Cardio notwendig. Und der ewige Kampf gegen den inneren Schweinehund
Historisch sieht man die auch meist bei Trabanten auf Marsch oder so. Ich persönlich kenne kein historisches Bild bei dem ein Bidenhander/ Montante im Gefecht gezeigt wird.
@@rescue00751Da gibts tatsächlich Einige. Im kommenden Video zeige ich davon ein Paar. Falls du die Wartezeit verkürzen magst, schaue dir Torsten Schneyers "bidenhänder in der Schlacht"-Video an. Da sind auch ein paar Bilder.
Some weapon design for specific purpose and usage in different battlefield. In practical, I will throw this Montante away for narrow area and pick my dagger or Sidesword instead of swinging that huge stick.
Japp die Regla ist sehr rechtslastig. Nicht optimal in meinen Augen, aber so wie im Manuskript beschrieben. Ich bevorzuge wechselhafte Auslagen, damit nicht immer die selbe Seite frei ist. Ich mag es.... unberechenbarer XD
@@A_Medieval_Shadow gegen dich zu kämpfen war schon immer schwierig . Aber mit Gassenhauer kämpfst ja eh normal in zweiter Reihe. Also net so schlimm und notfalls bin ich da mit mein kitschild und Schwert,axt oder speer auf deiner linken Seite
@@A_Medieval_Shadow ....hes kinda got a point.. imaging popping off the pommel to reveal basically a handgonne barrel which you could shoot whichever way you wanted...... youd have to worry about the recoil sending the sharp sword into your body but it could be fun
@@elgostine yesterday i learned that the samurai also had concealed guns in short sword sheaths. they'd make small handguns look like a short wakizashi or tanto "help! call a physician! but not FOR ME!"
Since you're already in a narrow street why not just half sword and keep thrusting, keeping attackers at bay since having a zweihander you probably have the reach advantage,
Because I show here One technique (Regla) from a manuscript that it not easy to understand for people who try to figure out Figueiredo and his Reglas. They are not the best, and not the worst. They simply teach Movement-pattern like Katas in Asia to mantain mobility and give an idea what one can do in certain situations. Other than that: You are free to choose whatever it takes to survive the scenario with techniques you trained before like going into halfswording. If you feel safe using it surrounded from two sides and you manage to break through one side or defeat both then go for it👍 Even Figueiredo and Godinho encourage you to go away from the reglas when the situation demands it.
@@A_Medieval_Shadow yeah I just figured I'd mention it since to me it would be your best bet in that situation. Both parties would have trouble moving around each other so, since it would be hard for them move around your thrust and you would have the reach advantage. And I mentioned half swording because that way you could have more leverage for trying to parry, even with the tip of the sword I think, since they would need to move more mass to try to "push" your parry away cause you're holding a heavier sword and more firmly. And about trying to push through one side of the street right away, that would be your best bet too I think, try to even the odds by taking out someone quickly and taking the initiative.
This is my first video of yours I have seen and it is wonderful! Immediately subscribed and showing it to my Hema group.
^ I have been stabbed by this man and I am here because of him.
One of the greatest honors, thank you very very much

Now THAT is a Sword!!!! I really liked the overhead view, it shows a valuable perspective of the techniques!
Thank you very much! I thought this would be important to show for a Regla that is vertically going👍
Once again, beautiful sword. Cheers Shadow. ☘️
Thank you very much, I think this is my definitive sword from now on.

Nice flamberge. How does it's weight compare with your previous sword?

thats nice big sword you have, I will get my sword later too, 194 cm long 😁its bearing sword but made for practice
Ih very nice! May I ask you where you get yours from?
Roleplaying in an online server as a fucking Montante monster, and I've got to say, THANK YOU! Dealing with a siege rn so this video is a Godsend!
Being of help is all I want, so thank you too for your kind words
Das neue Schwert steht dir sehr gut!
Danke dir, Melady
Nice
can someone explain how i ended up here? im all for it though
Because the algorithm has blessed us with something beautiful.
@@I_Willenbrock_Isuch kind words! Thank you!

The huge stick definitely still has the advantage, especially against a tiny dagger...
Whatever you feel safer to use in a narrow street, use it. As long as it helps you to "survive" 👍

imagine having a firearm built in to the hilt of your montante

I suggest you to research weapons from India. The later ones from the 16th century and later were wild. Like axes with Guns in the hilt
