There has to be a certain quality for hits. And while they call a bit more than at other tournaments these judges did a good job. There was contact like three times, but debatable. I agree with the judges it wasn't enough. Just as a fencer it is hard to keep pushing for like three times. It didn't hit the back, but the side of the head. Hitting back wouldn't score, except if the other person turned into it.

@petritzky thanks for the speedy reply. I am enjoying your channel!

Actually this match was riddled with adaptations on that part. I would reposte with a left Zwerch and he would try to cut through it, so I would cut the Zwerch higher and he would come from further up. It was interesting. A Krump would be possible, a bit awkward with the upward momentum from the parry before though. I think moving into right Hengen would have been fine, but I was so focus on landing the riposte I dropped my hands.

Glad you liked it. I use the unity overlay from Spes.

I use a Red Dragon 1600N with the Unity Overlay from Spes. I will switch my mask though, because the Red Dragon is over 6 years old now. Also I will switch to the Leon Paul Titan exchange, because it seems like a good fit for my needs. The Red Dragon was made from springy steel and sometimes it let a bit to much force to my head for my taste, so I wanna try the Titan Exchange. Hasn't happened in a long time, so I was a bit lazy to make the change.

I use an xt3 with 23mm and it's actually not that great with battery, so I have to switch it multiple times throughout the tournament. But I like the look

Thank you!

@@Druid_Ignacy i was shocked just as much as you. While I have been working on it, I think just recently I got comfortable enough to use it more in competition.

@@petritzky do you have any particular unexpected findings? We found that when leading with left leg, starting an attack with a half step and / or starting with rare leg with heel off the ground helps fluidity. And my observations, both live and online, conclude that good attacks with passing step always land and the very moment of legs passing one another, you could say that good passing step attack lands at the very moment when the whole body is leaned forward a little and your spine is in line with both of your legs (at that brief moment). Distance wise it's the same reach as a lunge, but the balance and ending positions differ.

@Druid_Ignacy so I think there are a lot of things to consider. What I noticed was I can enter parry riposte game really good from LFF positions. Also oben abnehmen works best for me when I enter with a passing step. I think the most important stuff is getting comfortable fencing with LFF from different positions. RFF you have a very comfortable Eisenpforte until Vom Tag Zornlinie that feels super natural. With LFF it doesn't feel natural. Also I found thrusts work just as much with LFF, but I limited myself from thrusting and only did from RFF. So LFF was always Oberhau or Schiel for me. But really works just as much like Max demonstrates in the video plenty. I feel like the footwork has to be more on point. This is a general thing though. If I only did RFF I would only need this position to get really good at. Now it's both. But it pays of within longer exchanges because all the positions feel natural to work from. With front foot changes that I really like to do, you have to watch out for Nachraisen as every Change is a Tempo for the opponent to act upon. But it can also help pushing into critical measure. What I love in theory are fron foot switches where you put the front foot behind your center of mass within the change and push off in a Springen or Fleche. That sometimes works absurdly good.

You think I could do it without the LFF fencing ? ;) Glad you appreciated it. I have been working on it to balance my game a bit. Just saw that you have another channel and went through all your vids.

@@petritzky I think you could do it without LFF, but it would make me sad

@@OveranalyzingLongsword I don't want to make you sad :(

What is LFF fencing? Legendary Fish Finding? Lemur Failed First? Latitude Finished Flail?

@@jasonbaldwin273 Left Foot Forward

Thanks! Yes, we always go to Bratislava. Excited to meet you guys then.

@@josephdorey8458 in theory you can have 100% thumb movement in the SGs, just because you can tie the cord that attaches the thumb really lose. The HFs aren't that mobil, but still very good and I can't complain about it. I switch a lot between grips as well.

@@ochs-hema thanks, that means a lot to me

@@BjarneKort thanks a lot man. Yeah, stylized looks always stuck with me. And there are so many of them.

I had no choice! You eliminated my teammate Max. I can't wait💪

@@petritzky that's true, but it was a though fight 😅 are you coming to the Tyrnhaw? I'll be there 🤺

@@brano_simasek I just barely got Maroš and Filip as well. Both were 7:6 I think and though fights. 💯 on Tyrnhaw. Already registered.

@@Boulyshmayswordboi no, sadly not

It’s floppy but fun. Handles ok but the flop is weird.

I watched a few videos from druid legacy. He has done stuff like that before and it got me intruiged. Really good stuff.

@@suatkuran5323 what do you mean?

@@petritzkyEveryone plays from Longpoint these days and I rarely see any other guard and any master cuts.People literally forgot that HEMA is a martial art rather than a sport.

Ah yes, because the true art lies in pointlessly circling in ten minutes while artfully changing guards, followed by a loud double.

@@VelmiVelkiZrut That’s not what the sources say though.According to Liechtenauer, one should only fence from 4 main guards and use the master cuts from them to break your opponent’s guards.He couldn’t figure out the solution to doubles unlike Fiore so there are problems in his system but it’s still okay.I do circle around in order to counter longpoint but that’s my Destreza solution :)

​@@suatkuran5323 I kinda get where you are coming from, this one-handed poking meta and this sort-of "closed eyes" thrusting with a follow-up zwerch currently ubiquitous in eastern tournaments is very reminiscent of sport fencing... but there is more of the sources in there, as some of the breakdowns in this video show, and many sources do favor longpoint. Just curious, how did Fiore solve doubles?

Damn, thanks for the compliment.^^ He's a big inspiration for sure. I still have a long way to go though.

Thanks a lot! It's sometimes hard to see progress as yourself, so that's great to hear^^ Last year in Prag I got destroyed, but also got lots of helpful feedback from the fencers there. So I've been working on that.

Jo, dankeschön^^

Glad you found a way to fix it. No, so far I haven't had issues with the grip beeing bad. Hopefully it stays that way.

Usually I don't. I only have -1.5 on both eyes, so it ain't that bad.

That's interesting. First time I heard of that issue. We have 4 pairs and none happened(so far).

@@petritzky I don't know if we just had bad luck. But I would definitely like to see more than one rivet on that central thumb plate. That said they are still the best clamshells on the market currently IMHO.

That sounds great! If the index is better protected this is a 10/10 glove for me. Would different leather fix the dye on hands thing? What exactly do you mean by plate on thumb is bigger? The one that covers the thumbjoint?

@@petritzky yes, we are searching leather that won't paing hands in black, and will be same solid. And yes, on new models of gloves thumb plate is a bit bigger

Initially, my HFs didn't cause any staining but after a couple months the issue surfaced with a vengeance. I might try this bathing technique you mentioned. Product needs to be renamed from Black Knight to Black Hand...

​@@heirihunziker hmmm that's idea:)

The cotton glove probably saves you from nasty smell as well

@The Missingno About the Michael gloves, any ideas on how to prevent the rivets from falling out? This happens to me all the time now, I've temporarily fixed it by putting tape around the rivets but am considering something more permanent, Loctite perhaps?

@@heirihunziker As I don't have a pair of michael gloves I'm really not sure. Not on one of my gloves has ever a rivet fallen out. On one pair of my spes heavies a rivet broke, but it was at the end of its livetime anyway. I thought about riveting it back, but I would have to drill it out again and I'm not sure if my tool fits inside the glove to punch the rivet.

@@heirihunziker I don't know, the rivets have not fallen out of mine.
