Polish Sabre VS Messer (HEMA)

[DutchPatterson]

Polish saber is always a treat to watch, and your natural dynamic footwork and bladework are fantastic. Props to the messer guy for overcoming the reach disadvantage, pressing the distance, and holding his own.

this is the kind of fencing that should be in the Olympics

Mad respect, you swing this as if it was sport sabre. Funny though, I've recently learned that these sabers aren't similar to used by polish hussars, but these are hungarian hussar sabers :D It gets really confusing since what decide about this is very little detail about handle curvature.

The Sabre fencer ist amazing to watch. Very good 360 control of his blade. Enjoyed watching. Respekt to both fencers.

That exchange at 35 seconds was absolutely amazing

Sabre fencer gives off this Cossack vibe of a bit reckless and more flashy style compared to the composed style of the Polish military.

Gorgeous! This is the type of footwork I strive to achieve for my duels.

[lnthalo]

This style looks very nice 😎
Where did you learn polish sabre? From the book from Richard Marsden? Also did you have a chance to fence against people that do british military sabre? If yes, how do these styles compare?

[hhelminn]

The footwork is amazing! I especially like the red one's footwork and "style". Looks cool!

[richardbeare]

I love the footwork and dynamic/active style of this.

I'm a new subscriber. It's amazing to me to watch someone use a tool at a professional level. Like, yeah, we play with swords and whatnot, but you go to work with a sword and show how it's supposed to be used. It's excellent, and I applaud you

[eelyy]

Beautiful! Looks like something out of a movie

[charliecarpenter]

New sub, That was amazing to watch, amazing skills

[rudsn]

You are so damn interesting to watch. Such a deadly dance with your saber. Unrelated to the video: Inspired by your sword art I am thinking about practicing Longsword and Sabre on my own, as soon as I move into my new flat, which is in a rural area where I have more than enough space for practice.

Do you have recommendations for gloves to use with that saber? I assume that's the Hungarian saber from Purpleheart Armory, I have the same one but the only gloves I have are padded gloves for rapier and other light weapons, which are deeply insufficient, and SPES heavies which don't fully fit through the sword's guard and make it impossible to hold properly.

seems like a fun sport to get into, how do you start it?

[ĹŐĹĨŚŤĂĹĶĔŔinc]

Hellish Quart sent me here
i never know that we had this kind of sport too

[JohnDoe-yrlm]

I get whole training thing and all but a sabre was heavy. Different movement. In couple of german and turkish sources it said to have split a head of a fullly mounted knight. In turkish to have split couple of heads at the same time. Normal man, meaning without training, couldnt even hold it straight for one minute. That tells what took people to carry zwiehanders or claymores.

[Alwaysofftrack]

Reading "messer" (german for "knife") caught me off guard at first, because I didn't see no blade small enough to be called a "messer" in the vid.
