Military Sabre Sparring | HEMA

I had my first sparring session in 4 months today due to the whole Corona situation and it feels great to be back!
Although much of my stamina, strength, agility, and feeling for distance and measure have decreased dramatically, it is finally time for some regular training again!

Crazy, in media you always see these elaborate long sword fights, while in reality aside from feints, it would likely be over in a few swings.

I really appreciate the editing with showing each hit. I think the phrases are fairly easy to follow in this video, but I always like the slower speed highlighting hits for the sake of technique analysis.

Is HEMA easy for beginners to get into? It looks challenging but also incredibly fun. Great video!

[JG-fgye]

It does make you realise how quick real sword fights are over

[Mr.Fenryck]

Just the mustache sold me on the video.

1:28 the part where the chap in the red gave a thumbs up looks so wholesome

[mvslice]

1:18 Imagine no protection and sharp sabers. This stuff looked “gentleman-like” but it was brutal.

[AEHCESGRIMA]

What a great sparring!!! Those guards are incredible!

[riccardozorn]

Ur leiwand! Muss mir mal Zeit nehmen und mich im Klingelspiel anmelden, dass ist die einzige Fechtschule in Wien die den Säbel unterrichtet...oder täusche ich mich da? Liebe Grüße

[sunereensennin]

nice fight guys, the way you guys counter each other really amaze me

[jankramolis]

Very nice techniques! Please continue🗡

[Valor]

Excellent video. The slow mo after every hit is a plus. 👌👍 Really shows the precision required in these actual fights instead of the constant garbage that the movies give us.

Something about the movements of sabers feels more intuitive. The bulk of my training is in epee (sport fencing), so I assumed I'd prefer thrusting weapons such as longswords, but the movements always felt awkward to me, almost like playing pool and halfway like using a spear. With just a few small modifications in technique, good sabers feel more natural in the hand to me. ex: generally, when parrying a thrust, the blade is held closer to parallel to the ground, while for cuts, it's held closer to vertical (maybe like a 30 degree angle for thrusts and a 70 degree angle for cuts). Cuts are also easier to parry in general because you kind of just move into place, while with thrusts, you have to do a bit more to actively intercept and move the blade out of the way before continuing with a repost.

Both of you really bait each other well for the clean cut

[robedwards]

What is a good book on learning to fence Sabre?

[vincentdaniel]

wow really impressive ! it's seems that the right fighter have struggle due to the allonge that the left fighter have but it's just a statement since i've never do that sport that really tempt me !
