    Not rapier fencing, but smallsword. I guess this is what epee fencing would look like without rules.

    • @bjornfagerstedt2341
      @bjornfagerstedt2341 5 років тому +2

      @WenTian Guo I disagree. While it is correct that foil was created as pactice weapon for the smallsword, it is much more flexible and also lighter. The epee is much more alike smallsword, which also was the intention. The weight of a modern epee (or 19th century epee de combat) is not much different from a smallsword.

    • @bjornfagerstedt2341
      @bjornfagerstedt2341 5 років тому +1

      @WenTian Guo While the fencing epee can weigh up to 770 grams, most fencing epees used for competitions weigh far less, up to around 500 g. But since the most relevant comparison would be epee de combat, I assume most of them would be a bit heavier, so your example of 700 g is not far off. Anyway, epee is also not exactly the same as smallsword even if the intention was for a weapon more alike smallsword (compared to foil). Probably best explained in the Schola Gladiatora YT videos by Matt.

      Are we serious? If we are discussing form then why is one blocking from around his back (especially from an attack that comes for his torso). We also see a lot of vertical cuts that telegraph a lot and some brawling. About the swords themselves I believe they are smallswords (at least based from the hilts as the blades in length and shape don't resemble smallswords)

      I believe rapier is used here as a generic term for a mainly thrusting weapon of the 16th and 17th C. You are correct that we are using smallswords here, but the choreography employs some cuts which are more indicative of an edged weapon. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

      The aim, as always, was to settle a quarrel between honourable men. In this particular matter honourable means able to give satisfaction. And the seconds previously did all the agreement, i.e. weapons, time, place, first blood, death, etc. An honourable man like the older man seems to be, would have never killed an opponent if the rules were set otherwise by the seconds.

    The younger man still held onto, per the video clip at least, his own sword and then holding into the older man's hand at his throat. Not sure the issue unless a previously wound did not allow the younger man to lift up his sword arm anymore.

      One: terror. Two: the older man (he's Colonel Monstery, I know it) is too close. It's difficult to find a way to wind up a cut, you'd need to recruit your shoulders into the work, and the younger man's rather disinclined to move his shoulders much at that point.
