@Rocket City HEMA - Andrew Lonnergan's book compliments Page very well, it lacks the principles and theory of Page but it has plays and exercises using a very similar system and adds certain unique techniques like locks & pummeling with the hilt, draw&saw cuts, parrying using the basket,a bit of advice for fighting dragoons and what not.

Very practical and straight forward.

This was great! Pretty much my exact interpretation as well. I agree about Page’s distance too. Books like Lonnergan and Ferdinand generally teach you to fight from first distance really well. I feel like Page, especially with the emphasis on traversing, is teaching how to fight from half sword. That includes the focus on timing the guard, pausing and waiting, leg cuts, etc.

Thanks you for that instruction sir I really appreciate it it’s really something that you’re willing to take the time to help people like me out so again thank you

Everyone has their knickers in a twist about German and Italian longsword, but no one is talking about English longsword. This could be adventageous for a little bit.

Good morning sir I have a question so in fencing in general the hands move first then the feet but I’m having a little trouble when using a passing step my strike tends to land a lot faster than my foot can catch up so my question is in a passing step should the strike and the foot lane at the same time?

Does this technique have any other names than Flashy Smallsword? Also if I'm interested in learning how to use a small sword would you have any suggestions on where to acquire one?

I have a version of that sword called a Musician's sword. The blade extends only about 3 inches beyond the end of the fuller, making it easier to wear for a musician with a drum or a Sax horn. I firmly believe they came up with these swords by taking broken NCO swords such as yours and grinding a new spear point over the broken blade.

Great instruction! Thanks for this, is really interesting.

The heavy cavalry sabre has a huge Ricasso

Would love more Messer. But personally more interested in concepts, tactics, structure, or takes on techniques

Hey, get well man. We’ll all be here when you get back.

Where could I find primary sources describing fechtschule rules?

That was great, mate. You are a natural storyteller. You should make this a series

I will patiently await the next getting more out of Thomas Page. This was a great video in the meantime!

Thank you!!

I loved learning about this. While the method does look a little silly it is definitely effective. I'd love to hear more tips and tricks for working with a small sword. I'm trying to learn Small sword techniques atm.

Atlanta Cutlery/ Windlass sell reproduction smatchets. I first noticed them as a bushcraft big blade.

Ah yes, the trololo stance...

You have a magnificent ponytail good sir.

Take your time and heal.

What are your thoughts on using hanging guards (+linear footwork) for arming sword? Like how William Hope recommends using hanging guards for smallsword against broadswords or sabre in his New method. Would that improve the chances of the arming sword against the sabre? (Probably not the later century bowl hilt types, but perhaps against early knucklebow sabres)

Sorry to hear it, sir. May you heal swiftly! :)

love you, man. Heal up quick!

Get well soon !! Thank you for your generous teaching, it's been very helpful in my solo studies over here on the other side of the globe

My prayers go out to you for quick recovery hope all goes well for you this channel is my go to for knowledge on hema I don’t have a coach where I live so you are like my online coach if you will so thanks again for the content I look forward to some more videos

Hopes for quick healing and thinking out of the box

Update: the highlander is in the character selection grid, now. ;)

Very informative video, thank you. I always seem to learn something from your videos no matter how basic the content.

Great stuff!

Hello again sir sorry to ask a question not related to you video again but do you have any videos on Pell work with the longsword?

Good explanation of armor value and weapon usage. I really hope I can make it to your event at some point. It just sounds like so much fun. What is the draw weight of the bows you are firing the dorp arrows with? Was Cam's helmet the Bareena Emporium sturmhaube? Sorry, not familiar enough with the rap-shot, other than I know that it is something the SCA likes to teach. What is the prohibition for? Safety, in order to protect from too hard a hit?

How long was the haft on the 2 handed axe? I’m planning to bring one, and planning on buying the 5’8 shaft off of purple heart armory, and I’m wondering if I will need to shorten that at all

Hey man awesome video as always and i was wondering you told me if there’s anything I wish you would go over to let you know so could you do a video on some longsword drills to practice solo or point me in the right direction thanks again

I dont coment in a long time but i continue seeing your awesome instructions, Best regards from spain!

Fantastic video!

I'm not sure if you know but perhaps you could help authenticate a sword of mine

What sources are you using?

Very cool series so far.

Very cool to see combat

Page is definitely interesting and appealing. I stumbled upon his work while I was reading Hope on the Linacre library. Really appreciating this series!

Additionally, in Lesson 2 Page says to stop his outside, and recover to a hanging then stop with a St George’s. To me, this reads as a small tempo pause between the outside stop and the St George’s parry, rather than a double cut. I do agree that you should parry that outside with a hanging tho, as the point of the lesson is learning the hanging and St. George’s guards and if you don’t parry with a hanging here, then the only time you use it in the play is to guard with it not actually parry.

Interesting interpretation thank you for this! Is there a reason you opted to use a more regimental style for one side of the drill and a Page style for the other? Having to transition between wide and narrow would pretty radically change the function of the adversary role.

Air is the worst opponent. Deceptively easy at first, but heals instantly and has unlimited stamina.

Hey man I just found your channel and I have to say you spend a lot of time actually teaching the techniques instead of just showing them and for someone like me with a martial arts background that wants so badly to steady HEMA but no access to a school because I live on an island it’s really awesome so thanks for the content

Moving from outside to inside for me feels more like swinging the body back than a step off. What is your take on the type of broadsword? I know Paul Wagner suggests a heavy duty sword is the only kind that makes sense for the body mechanics.

Another aspect to consider that makes Page and sources like Page utilize more offline footwork is that these systems have a direct tie to 18th century stage gladiator combat. Gladiators would often fight with mixed weapons. It makes sense that they would opt for a style of outside guard that is more universally protective from things like quarterstaves and two handed swords, in addition to heavier broadswords and cudgels.

Thank you!

480p ? 🤔

Always nice to see and sword stuff, this is also a play by Angelo 😊 Cheers
