  • During Bladeworks 2024, organised by the Medieval Combat Group in Belfast, I had the chance to meet a bunch of awesome fencers From the Dutch club Zwaard & Steen.
    This club doesn't really need introduction, so to put it simply, they are amazing fencers and I am glad I got an opportunity to spar with them.
    First sparring video of the event is with Arto Fama. One of the best longsword fencers in the world. He taught us great workshops all day on saturday, and we then had a sparring bout together on Sunday.
    As you can see in the video, he's a very good and super technical fencer. He constantly has full control of the situation and his defence is unbreakable. He makes it look easy, although I was trying hard ! it was a great learning moment.

      Thanks Matt ! I am very happy to have attended his workshops and fenced with him. I also did some sparring with Michel Rensen and Robert Kraaijeveld, I will post the videos in a few days.
      The Zwaard & Steen guys are a perfect representation of what historical longsword fencing should look like, in my humble opinion.
      Meeting and fighting them was inspirational and very motivating :)

    Does anyone know what gloves Arto Fama is using here? Are they the infinity gauntlets or something different?

      He is using the ProGauntlets. Unfortumately, the company that makes them went bankrupt, so it is not possible to buy then anymore :/
