    I’m the guy on the right. So honored that B&I analyzed this fight. I’ve only been doing HEMA for a year through B&I’s online program and started with zero knowledge. I’m so happy with my progress to date and I’m looking forward to getting better.

      Can you let us know what you're using for gear? I'm curious about that body and shoulder protection.

      @@ryguyp I used a fencing jacket under motocross armor. Not as safe as a gambeson or a real jacket designed for HEMA, but it works. Just spar with people you trust if you wear something like this.

      Thanks. What is the other person wearing? I'm wondering about those segmented shoulder guards.

    I'm the practitioner on the left and the one who did the feint in the second clip. The Blood and Iron online program really improved my personal practice, so I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn HEMA with a realistic-fighting approach in mind. :)

    Great analysis and great swordsmanship on display! I find it fascinating that European martial arts are reaching so many audiences.

    Great analysis. Interesting fighting style. I myself am more conservative in fencing, but these guys are not afraid to commit to attacks and its good fun to watch.

    Hi.
    Can I train swordfighting alone? There is no hema(or any other) fencing school where I live. Are there any guides, tutorials... where I could learn the basics?
    Thanks

    Dude on the right would have covered himself way better if he passed on the left oberhau to the arms
    Would have made it a more powerful cut too and better finishing position
    Still he got it done , just meant he had a more difficult parry with less margin for error

    If swords are sharp, stay out of the pocket at all costs
