Love having the kinesthetic/tactile comparison; there is so much depth in this level of differences which usually doesn't get brought into conversations. Pretty interesting hearing about what feels right considering the ring-finger/pinky-strong grip vs full grip. Seem to remember from the book of 5 rings of Musashi Miyamoto favoring the pinky-strong style for the katana he interacted with. Wonder if it is a case of aesthetic getting in the way or that grip choice being a bit counter intuitive? Fun seeing you use the car as a stabilized horse simulator. :) Hope the channel really grows for you; it seems like you have a lot of good things which you bring. Best of luck!
@@Fadeing thank you 🙏 it seems people often times focus on the sword itself or the blade and less on ergonomics and gripping styles... There's many angles to understanding and I'm going to bring out more of them 👍 and hopefully I'll be able to ride a horse next time haha
Hey, love the experimentation. That was some very creative “cavalry” substitute you came up with 😂. Side by sides are always fun and it appreciate the ability for you to look into new types of sabre systems. For a crash course, I would check out Nick Thomas at The Academy of Historical Fencing, where he has a “HEMA at Home” series that is a great introduction to British sabre going through Roworth. It will help getting used to cutting with the arm at extension, with more wrist action than we are used to from daofa. Keep up the journey!
European sabres were typically held in a handshake grip, with the hand slanted and almost off the weapon, hammer grips were seen as eastern styles and they would sometimes have Arabic or Indian swords if they favoured that style, of course fashion was even more important so they might have something that looked interesting and then just use it however. British generals still carry Egyptian swords. There will still be plenty of manuals on exact use of European sabre as there was a strong literary culture around military training at the time.
Instead of saying the sword is bad, you said "I am not good with it". Good attitude 😊. Btw, how about a thorough video of why East Asian sword/saber has smaller guard then their Western counterparts? I never learned anything about sword, so it is a genuine question 🙏
Good idea. To be honest, most European swords from around 1400s-1900 had more complex hilts than most others from different parts of the world - so it's them who deviated from the norm. It's a pretty fascinating topic, I'll think on it.
If you aren't at least touching the "guard" with your index finger, you're losing a lot of control of the blade you could otherwise have, for both of them. As for weilding the saber, I'll make a video with the much more cumbersome cold steel version on how to swing it. The technique applies to wo yao dao as well. It's a hybrid of chinese wushu/kungfu and HEMA
@@the.wandering.warrior I will :) I have some older videos on using the wrist and fingers but I want to make something that is easier, more in depth, and more fun to watch
