AHF Military sabre sparring - Malcolm vs Nick

Black fencer synthetic sabres.

Sabers are used with such an interesting and impressive, though effective, style. It would definitely be what I would want to learn to use if a HEMA school were anywhere near where I live.

I do a blade-based Filipino Martial Art, but I have to say that I am really glad to see people rediscovering Western Martial Arts as well in recent years. Great job guys, and keep it up!

This is so cool and useful. I'm writing a novel with sabres and rapier fighting in it, and I had no idea how smooth and flowing sabre fights were. So interesting!

It really makes you appreciate how gruesome warfare must have been before the advent of the gun. Even if you win you're likely mangled in some way.

The guy on the right got a very impressive sense of distance . He landed a cut very accurate.

[winninglikecharlieS]

This is awesome, and I'd do it in a heartbeat

[matwetton]

The footwork seems very similar to olympic sabre but with a lot more control (and more crossing in retreat) is there some use in knowing this footwork when looking to convert to more historic military sabre.

Man I love seeing nick using the saber, elegant yet deadly. I picked up the saber seriously recently and you are the reason why. I'm also learning to dual wield them, very fun and effective. Hard to use against longs words but I have little difficulty with any other weapon

[CommandoCody]

lol @ :26 That patch was already flappin but that nick gave it the final gust of wind it needed to take off

[AlJavier]

I wish HEMA was popular in my country.

[billjenkins]

Thank you.
I think that many people forget that time when in order to kill your enemy you had to look him in the eye, and he you. Neither walked away unscathed.

[typicalbootss]

yo they were smooth with those swings, very satisfying to watch

[stephenkrus]

Good sparring guys! 👌👍 I think I found my preferred sword-fighting style. 😀🤓

[southernknight]

Very high quality video!
I noticed that the hand guards get hit regularly. That's good to know.
I loved the smooth flow of this video. It really brings out the details. Crisp and clear!

[ogrigut]

Very nice techniqes guys.
Question: What gear do you use?
The legguards, jackets, masks, gloves?
Can you link me some retailers please, im looking for good gear.

[PluggedHades]

There’s something about sword fighting that I just love

[BigHossHackworth]

Do any of those 19th century saber manuals cover what to do in a clinch ? Earlier forms of fencing seem to account for grappling...maybe it was covered separately? Any info would be appreciated ..

[MBValentine]

Guy on the right is a beast with those hand-shots. Jesus Christ.

[zerrrp]

Pretty nice, i can see the developement of Malcolm (i think it's malcolm, the guy on the left) as he learns Nick's techniques and style
I can tell your not fully perfect yet, good luck my g
I've always been a nerd for sabre sparring although since i'm in France, it's always just Olympic Fencing schools. Hope one day i can travel somewhere to try it out although that'll be complicated...
U guys made my day tbh, thanks :)
3:15 oh that feint was good

[Naki]

I want to ask how do you get those sabre trainer and how much is it??
