Have a good watching and practise!

I always direct new students to this channel. What takes me half a class to explain these videos accomplish in 5 minutes.

You say "Defense: distance." It reminds me, my boxing coach's 1st lesson was that distance is your defense. You can block, dodge/slip, parry, but after that you can be hit, but with distance you are always safe. Distance and timing became my best weapons. This was 25 years ago, years later on YouTube I saw a boxing analysen video where the creator said "distance and timing, or actually position and rhythm are key to win in any combat sports". I now realize how good my coach was.

Nice video! Appreciate it 👍

Your best content since the Fiore series... Love your accent, love the pommel joke!

At 3:38 you demonstrated and explained a technique which up until now, I mistakenly assumed was merely an exercise which my aikido instructor has our class occasionally practice. I was pleasantly surprised that instead of this technique being only an exercise, you demonstrated that it IS a practical, deliberate self-defense technique. There you are, showing it during an exchange, and the technique works as planned.

Likewise, you caught my attention in your section regarding grappling. In aikido, very similar principles are taught and practiced. I didn't realize that any styles of European swordfighting had developed them too. (This feels like discovering the same language carved onto cave walls on different continents. LOL) Thank you very much for posting this video.

Scary shit. If I lived in those times I'd rather be a baker, a butcher or a candlestick maker.

Hi m8! Been awhile since I last saw you upload a video about longsword fencing

[AngelChernaevHistoricalFencing]

Great video and instructions. I am just about wrapping up a video with a series of direct attacks from a tournament.
Will make sure to send anyone asking questions on how and why to do direct attacks and how to counter them to your video.
