@@MastaBaitaAmbatukam Nope, it's a glaive. It's a discontinued synthetic model from Black Armoury. The video quality just makes it hard to tell.

@@hemalexington2206 There is no definition of spear that wouldn't include the design shown in the video

We generally teach Meyer when it comes to longsword. Some of the unfamiliar guards are from their inexperience, and that's ok for now. They're still practicing.

@@hemalexington2206 That makes sense, thank you for taking the time to respond!!!

@@ericpaisley8501 Thanks! The biggest takeaways of the wall of steel principle: distance management and drawing the cuts. Drawing a cut works best with a curved sword, and it allows the sword to maintain momentum for faster reaction times (for defense) and faster follow-up attacks (offense). Think about how if you pulled your sword back, you lose momentum because you gotta decelerate it so it stops where it is being blocked, then accelerate it backwards, then decelerate so it's in a prime position to strike again, and then accelerate it again in a different angle to hopefully hit your opponent where they are open. It's so much stuff to do in a split second, that the "wall of steel" starts to make more sense to cut down the number of actions and smooth it out for a few fluid & quick motions.

@@ericpaisley8501 For distance, I was taught that the shamshir naturally completes a draw cut better if I hit where the blade just starts to curve (around the lower third point). You see, the blade is actually straight around the hilt and then gradually starts curving. And in order to achieve this, I gotta be close enough to the opponent. Too far, and I can just barely hit them with the tip of the blade. I haven't yet learned the rest of the nuances, but more training/sparring videos will be posted as I go :D

Thanks! We tried the bare minimum!

I got excited when he started doing that like, "Oh that is my game you wanna play my game? It's on" lol. Sudden death is so fun so much tension for that last point! I'll get him next time. :)

lol this guy was a real challenge for me so ya know I had to bring the footwork! 😜

Not usually. I'm just a goofball who likes to sneak in moves from other disciplines. :P

We missed you too! ❤

lol

A shamshir is a type of sword and he's holding a buckler... sword and buckler... There's a max character limit for titles. :P

See's comment and is compelled to watch again to remember what I said XD
