We teach it in a progression, so when someone is first learning the pattern, we focus on just the sword movement, then combine with the stepping. With stepping, we teach one foot pretty much stationary at first while the other foot does all the stepping (except the shuffle step with the 9th cut), then work on various patterns of stepping with increasing complexity from there.

Bellows Freifechter - fair enough. Just thought it was odd.

Go to 1:35 to watch and listen to him concerning the stepping.

Thanks, Martin Younger. We appreciate the feedback.

OP, you're a douchebag. Everyone knows what a Meyer Square is, fuck off with your elitism. I challenge you to a sharp longsword or halberd fight. *smacks you across face with a white glove*

Hans Henrik Engen, thanks for watching. John was comparing them to his gloves, and said he "would be in so much pain right now." Upon further experimentation with these, however, I would not recommend them for Longsword sparring as is (Though NF has apparently introduced a few newer modifications to the gloves since I got mine, I have not yet been able to see them in action). For general play with friends, at a lowered intensity, or other weapons sets, however, these are quite nice.

Thanks, Kyle. I haven't taken a direct hit to the tip of the fingers yet, but they seem to be at least fully covered by the rigid scales. Something along the lines of the SPES finger tip protectors may still be beneficial, however.

Hey Nate; I haven't seen the light gloves yet in person. My understanding is that they're pretty similar, without the rigid plastic scales over the fingers.

They have a single piece of styrogum for the fingers, which is the more heavy-duty material that most of the glove is made of, whereas the heavies have a softer material under the plates. I like the lights much more, because segmented plates tend to snag on things, and a blade could go between them.

Thank you! Will do.

How are they so far? Overall?

Have not fenced yet, only played with my longsword Swing simulator. I find the gloves are lighter and provide more mobility than SPES heavies. The only other Montoya heavy gloves on youtube right now show an attached thumb as well. Pictures on Neyman's FB page show both configurations.

Thomas Carter appreciate the reply. I can't figure down anyone that has actually tested them yet. Would really like to purchase a pair if they are worth it

I let someone whack my hands with a synthetic pretty hard and i could feel it but it wasnt terrible.

Thomas Carter Would you say they are good for steel longsword?

Hey Ankou; I have been able to test them out a bit more, ad have posted a follow up review showing them more in action. I have actually ended up being far more impressed with them than I had initially thought I would be.

Bellows Freifechter thank you. so they are worth purchasing?

I'm fairly pleased with them. They're comfortable, agile, and reasonably protected. That being said, I am still waiting to compare to Konings on a deeper level, as well as overall longevity of use.
