Dear Federico, thank you for the lovely video. I appreciated that you don't advise to (significantly) close distance while feinting, which would be the ideal opportunity for an opponents stop action. I find that many people rush in while feinting and continue their attack mechanically which most often results in a double hit. If I might do a little suggestion, I'd warmly recommend you always do a proper "abzug" after a successful (or unsuccessful) hit. It is of utmost importance to always train and demonstrate that a technique doesn't end until one is out of the opponents reach (be it by distance, throwing or disarming). Keep up the good work! Cheers from Basel
Thank you for having and making these videos over the Arming sword. My ancestors from France used the same swords when fighting in the crusades and during the Battle of Bouvines. I hope to learn one day to connect to my French roots.
The system we used back then wasn't of french origin but probably the Bolonese tradition. Which probably come from years old I:33 system. Remember, in war we use what works best, wherever it may comes from. If you want to connect to France history you'll need to take a plane and go see the many medieval live shows and festivals we hold in summer. Try the ones reenacting historical battles. We have fantastic groups from everywhere in Europe and they really do an awesome job to recreate life and battles of those times.
@@katel5768 plan for a month at least cause Paris have only the museums and expositions. And the architecture everywhere ! You can't talk about renaissance if you haven't seen some of the palaces in europe and Versailles of cpurse. You'll see the decadence and over load of details. But mostly you want to go when the medieval festivals occurs. Grab some info online so you can make a map to the places you will want to go when there is a festival. Its everywhere in the countryside. If the town has a glorious medieval past its bound to have some sort of festival. But there is many in Europe too. Germany England and Italy and Spain have huge ones. If its more the fighting you want go see the Battle of the Nations competition. Now thats proper melee fight 😁
Very good video as always Fede :) Is there a reason you perform the "following of the back foot -> hanging parry" only after the feint outside & roverso sottano? In my experience it is as important when striking a mandritto sottano to cover the opponent's afterblow. Another interesting point could be the hip rotation with the sottani as cutting from the right & stepping to the left / cutting from the left & stepping to the right can be somewhat tricky for beginners. But hey, that's maybe a topic for a video on its own :) Cheers and take care!
Schildwache Potsdam because is far easier to stay under the opponent arm and sword! While on the other side is easier to pass through the target so the follow up I prefer is another one, slightly different.
Schildwache Potsdam an for the second topic, it’s easier yes but it’s harder to move out of the way of the attack. Moving sideways this way I don’t find particularly complex to throw the sottano in this way anyway!
Fantastic lesson! & the music's great too

Dominik Eaton thanks for your advice! Cheers!!!
Fun fact - shoulder sottano from right is mostly like hellish quart in polish saber, and the setup for the action is like the same xD

These techniques are starting to look like sidesword techniques
Ryan Hancock that’s because is almost the same weapon, safe for some “life hacks”
