These are the best fabris rapier demonstations and explanations that I have ever seen! Still waiting for demos for Fabris book 2, about how to proceed the resolution without stopping :) Thank you very much!!!
Great vid. Disarms with cloaks are great too - if you void as you envelop their thrust with the cloak and pass forward inside their guard there are all sorts of mischiefs you can accomplish.
Excellent video ! I don't learn Rapier on my club, but I saw your videos and I used some of these skills on the Toulouse HEMA open (France) this week-end and I finished at the 2nd place !! So...Thanks a lot Martin Fabian ! :)
Dear Thierry, thank you very much! I am extremelly happy if my videos are even a bit helpful - mission accomplished then. Congratulations to the medal ;)
Hello Martin, I enjoy to practice your "Learn Rapier" videos. Can you please make a Rapier & Dagger instruction video. There is a lack of rapier&dagger instruction on UA-cam. Thank you very much for your understanding and for all your videos.
Hello Yusuf! Thank you very much! I plan to conclude the series with two more videos, one of them being R&D. In the meantime you could check the channel of my friend Martin Janicina: ua-cam.com/video/f87ZXyMA8m4/v-deo.html
There's a hema club called Ars Ensis in Szeged, too. (I'm just giving out information, you may know it already, or you may not live there anymore, in that case, I apologize)
Ah , nice video ! Thanks a lot By the way master Febian , can you teach us how to parry with the dagger ? That would be very helpful to the beginner :D
@@MartinFabian That did not stop you from winning the tournament last weekend ;) C'mmon, we're still missing a couple of videos about rapier & dagger! :)
Hello Martin Fabian I really really like your videos. You explain the techniques/principles in such an easy and understanding manner it is wonderful! I have a question: Would you say that the same rules you introduced to us in this video would apply to an sidesword with cape? Except the Rapier stuff of course. Do you have any experience with sidesword and cape?
Hi! Thank you very much for your kind words. I'd say yes, totally, it's almost the same. In fact the difference between rapiers and sifeswords is not that huge and there is quite an overlap in the category :) So feel free to use the same principles.
hey, ad1 we don't fight with sharp rapiers nowadays ad2 that kind of test isn't very reliable because the cape moves and should be held a bit sideways. that influences the reception of the incoming thrusts. sure it's possible to pierce a piece of thick cloth but it's not paper nor a fixed obstruction :)
Nice vid indeed, but i have one question after parrying with rapier can you grab the adversary rapier with the hand which is protected by the cape to pull push or go for abrazare?
Also a quick question hehe, im reading a manual of Ridolfo Capo Ferro and another of Achille Marozzo both are amazing, but from your point of view which one would be better to start with? if you want to start with rapier
javier Horna Moreno I would suggest starting with Giganti. Giganti is really straightforward and easy to understand. There's a neat translation/book called the Venetian rapier by Tom Leoni.
"It's the only sidearm that will make you SUPER FABULOUS"
I like this guy already.
Man, I wish I was CAPEable of fighting as well as them... ;)
Capes and short shorts, this is a fabulous video.

Great demonstrations. Thank you for this!
Thank you for watching!
This info commercial for capes really works, I have to get one.

This makes me want to wear a cape I hope Martin adds more vids to this playlist 🙏🏼

Thanks, Martin. Yet another excellent video...and really, really cool! :)
I'm glad you like it!

Have a look "Spanish verdadera destreza" (Some street fighting tricks during the 17th century)
It's like how the guachos use the ponchos here in Argentina (creole fencing), only that they used knife not rapier (sorry with my english)
Ropa is the general term clothing. Therefore the Espada Ropera (from ropa) is the Spanish sword in conjunction with the cape.
F*ck the shield, it would CAPEtain America, if he knew better.
Thanks Martin for another fantastic piece!
Thanks Maciej!
OMG NEW VIDEO!
oooo!!! cant believe I didn't see this earlier. new videos from you are very exciting!
thank you:) I'm glad it made you happy!
SOOOOO much fun in this episode :D love it

man i love this video so far
I'm moving from Marseille to Szeged... we need a Martin Fabian clinic in Szeged :)
There's a hema club called Ars Ensis in Szeged, too. (I'm just giving out information, you may know it already, or you may not live there anymore, in that case, I apologize)
Hot pants and capes- I aim to embody this HEMA fashion
Keep this vids up man!
Absolutely enjoyed it.
Nice stuff.
Excellent video, as always. Moreover, with Mozart as soundtrack! ☺️
thank you very much :)
Ah , nice video ! Thanks a lot
By the way master Febian , can you teach us how to parry with the dagger ? That would be very helpful to the beginner :D
now that you've heard about rapier and cape, get ready for sabre and hat!
love these videos! keep them coming!
it's easy to see how something like that could be used to snag and block.
Great video..
Awesome!
When the next episode? :D
Love it.
Could you make a video about rapier and dagger please?
Great video. Can you do one on Rapier and Dagger? Please
Thank you! Rapier and dagger is the topic for the next one. However now I have 2 Longsword videos in the backlog :)
@@MartinFabian
Thanks for reply Martin I'll look forward to it.
Cheers Jon
Awesome!!! :D Thanks!
Martin, any chance for the next episode coming soon?
I wish but tbh apart from the competition last weekend I haven't held a rapier for a year and a half so I'm a bit rusty :)
@@MartinFabian That did not stop you from winning the tournament last weekend ;) C'mmon, we're still missing a couple of videos about rapier & dagger! :)
I'd wear the cape and fight backwards! Trust me, im a professional :D
A cunning cover for your Agrippa girate!
How do you wrap cape around your arm, is it grab it around the hanger loop then swing the arm counter clockwise? What kind of fabric is it made of?

Mozart horn concerto!
Did you tried to hang a cape on a branch and to make some thrusts with a sharp rapier? I have some doubts.
hey,
ad1 we don't fight with sharp rapiers nowadays
ad2 that kind of test isn't very reliable because the cape moves and should be held a bit sideways. that influences the reception of the incoming thrusts. sure it's possible to pierce a piece of thick cloth but it's not paper nor a fixed obstruction :)
@@MartinFabian
1. I know (what a surprise, isn't it?)
2. It's not a problem to simulate moving cape
Can I translate these rapier videos and repost to the chinese website??
Of course! 🙂
Couldn't you use a Cape whilst it's worn to conceal the blade and make it harder to see the intent of your strike
And the dagger videos??
As always, another very entertaining video Martin, thanks so much! What sort of fabric did you guys use for your capes? Wool? Cotton?
Thank you very much! It's 100% cotton (duvetine)
Martin... where is Part 6 and 7?
On my channel for some time :)
ua-cam.com/video/0oiaeF33yzA/v-deo.html
what about putting a dagger through cape? 🤔
There are better targets 🙂
You gonna do anymore longsword videos?
Hello John, I have roughly a third of the material filmed for the LSIII vid ;)
Cool hehe video 🤣🤣
Nice vid indeed, but i have one question after parrying with rapier can you grab the adversary rapier with the hand which is protected by the cape to pull push or go for abrazare?

Ktorá je toto škola? Inak skvelé videá
Dakujem! Vacsina materialu je skrz Salvatora Fabrisa, cize povedzme ze Talianska (aj ked je to nie uplne presne pomenovanie)
@@MartinFabian ďakujem za info
Fabian Cape?
