Sword and Buckler sparring

Sword and buckler is one of my guilty pleasures. I don't study the weapon discipline enough to really feel strongly about doing it in a certain way, so I get to play around and just have fun. When facing off against Mart, who is a scarily good sabre fencer, I get a really cool opportunity to get some really difficult but spectacular exhanges. The full footage might be turned into a funny messer fencer versus sabreur video (with bucklers somehow involved) down the line, but this was too cool to not use straight away. :D

Sweet cut-recoveries there, very fast! And good to see you with your price-buckler. 😁

Oscar is definitely fencing with i33 in mind. The opponent isn't, and you can see the difference following technique can make. This isn't a bash on the opponent at all it takes time to adopt a technique into mindset and muscle memory. Great short on your match.

Could you buckler a great sword effectively?

Looked like a flat hit but that's probably just the camera angle
