- In this video I talk about my methods for solo training.
We identify the four different areas of focus for solo sword practice. footwork, basic blade work, situational blade work, and strengthening additioning.
this video should help you create a framework that you can use to train at home, whether or not you have access to a partner or a club.

This channel is getting better by the day! Cool, that you mentioned Mark Wildman. He's one of my favourite UA-camr's!
Came across this channel after all that ridiculous shad drama. Top tier content dude, subbed.
Dude this video got me pumped
I'm so grateful for this video. As a martial artist & weapon enthusiast who lives in the rural countryside, last time I asked someone to fence they showed up to my house with post-hole diggers and quick dry concrete. The only weapons training I could get with another person is with guns (which I like don't get me wrong) but that's the only weapon anybody gives a crap about down here lol
Need this for when Mud Winter hits and the crew have to do our routines at home! Once again, perfect timing, Sellsword!
Great video!! Thank you, but could you do a preventative injury video for all the new young swords fans that see you. New sword art fans could injure shoulders swinging swords repetitively when starting before getting the muscles tight enough. You must know Stuff like cross cable pull downs and reverse flys or something that can help new swords fans not injure themselves early and then never continue because of pulled shoulder or other unforeseen injurys you may have noticed over the years that are easy to prevent with your vast experiences. Please share some cool tips like what you think is best to help keep shoulders safe. at the very least i have a feeling you know some great stretches and workout movements you do, and could share. ❤😊❤😊
.
P.S. you do have a lot of leg stuff as i searched but upper body needs some more tips from your masterful skill set. Maybe add a playlist for fitness divided into two upper body and legs. Thanks again you rock and are very clear and great teacher!
thank you brother.
My best tip I have is film yourself. Film yourself, watch it back, fix mistakes, repeat. Also after class you can film yourself repeating the lesson in your own words and that itself will help, but you can also review that way
This is actually a really good idea. Thanks!
Shadow fencing
I take my longsword, longbow and my target out into our local fields where I'm alright to field shoot and I practice my footwork and bladework on broken ground and around the natural brush.
My Jujutsu instructor and more recently my HEMA instructor encourages me to practice outside on broken ground when I'm not in the gym, kind of the same as jogging on a treadmill instead of out in the fields
Could you do a video about the flyssa? It’s an algerian single edged sword with the blade ranging from 12 inches to 38 inches
Nice job bro, this video was very well organized and well structured. Love seeing solid training advice broken down into accessible morsels that people can use to build their own programming. I can tell you took established sports training methodologies and tailored them to sword training, keep up the good work!
Can you please make a video on the "master cuts"?
There are loads of brilliant videos of them online that I think you'll think helpfull if you look them up
Had me all the way through until I realized there wasn't going to be a "You wouldn't want to be maidenless, would you?"
But in all seriousness, this is extremely helpful for my burgeoning rapier training.
👍

Donations work 🤷♂️

This might be an odd question to ask, but do any sword arts/styles use and hand to hand attacks. I mean like kicks, punches and grabs/locks? It's extremely common in a ton of art and media/animation, but I've rarely see it in more modern sword hema stuff. Just curious here, thanks for the video.
That's very common in most sword arts. German longsword has a lot of grappling and some striking.
@@SellswordArtsit's common in the Italian Longsword treaties as well, but as I started over 20yrs ago with Jujutsu, Kendo and Iai he does have a point which I think is to do with the rules of the sport?
Where Jujutsu encourages me to make sure my opponent's no longer a threat with throws and disarms before ending each round, competitive sport HEMA does seem to focus more on individual blade contact
@@SellswordArts That's interesting, thanks for the info. Do you know anyone who makes videos on German longsword style?
Bro, do u practice with Dab swords?
Been doing montante for nearly half a decade, while i dont really do these types of drills and whatnot at home(mainly because montante are expensive as fuck), i do however when on the move practice some sort of footwork, not specific footwork but movement in general and i do it on any surface. I dont really care to do gym workouts, i personally prefer gaining strength and training during technique and pretty much just any time im moving. I dont really care for the weight lifting and what not so prefer to gain strength in a more natural manner. Thats all just ne though, honestly forgot why I wrote this but might as well keep it here
Look into heavy mace weights/gadas. That would correlate with your montante really well.
Its also worth going to the gym or atleast doing calisthenics if you really want to perform at your best.
Solo drilling is quite underestimated... even ppl who go to the HEMA club should do it... I saw people trying to spar in full gear without ability to perform proper technique not even talking about some solid control over their blade... of course we can see whining about "safety" when two experienced fencers take just a mask and gloves to show technique, because they are not precise with their own blade, but this is lame. Also, cutting "into air" is what helps you when you have to take control over your blade when you miss. If you cut to opponents langort with krumphaw and he avoid it with his durchwechseln you can save the day with properly doubled krump, but this is difficult to do fast enough when your strong cut hits just the air and double krump is quite difficult just by itself... you have to solo drill it a lot ...
This is real deal. Not some bunch overweight weirdos.
Biggest problem with HEMA is that its community is built on overweight weirdos and lacks an athletic background.
My closest club looks super fake so I haven't bothered going yet.

No one cares
I care. Gg
