If ever I go to HEMA, I will gladly use this stance, its against agressive fencers to make a foolish engagement also, to see the weak points of an offence.

I think doing an upwards cut transitioning into an overhead hammer/slash while taking a step forward would be very effective against an hesitating opponent

I like doing this cut with the false edge. It generates a little more power.

I've never had any interest in sword fight but recently my friends and I started a D&D campaign and my character wields a long sword so I wanted to draw my character in a cool pose and these videos are so great to understand how to properly hold a sword and get a reference for the correct proportions!

For windmill, you are stepping after you've started the swing, is this correct? Total newbcakes here.

This is amazing! Great job

1:20 if you hit too hard can't they use the momentum to attack you faster than your cut, also go for the hands not the sword if you can

With the black background, you should wear a different color clothing to make it more visible with your legwork and footwork. But it was awesome! Thank you so much!

Typical HEMA bro using a katana like a euopean. I saw that zornhau brother 😂 and the saber work gorgeous as always.

The lore implications of a new VCU Hema president!

Good. Simple simple. 👍

If you want to convince me, spar someone. They must know what they are doing and be uncooperative. Heck. I'd do it. When we are talking about it's weakness against faster weapons, that doesn't mean daggers, it means literally every other weapon. Yes, you can smack someone's toe if they don't see it coming. I hope you didn't miss. By comparison: True Two Handed Swords weigh five pounds. They're not as nimble as a longsword (about 2 lbs), but they can still use the same basic moveset. Both of these weapons kill in one hit. Imagine winding up for a Zornhau (a diagonal cut from shoulder to hip) with that thing. A regular greatsword would cut you in half so fast, you wouldn't even be able to throw your back out. Another question is: why? Killing someone with a blade is very easy. It gets easier the bigger the blade is, sure, but you've already passed 'dead simple'. Point of fact: nobody who has ever fought in a real battle against a two handed sword is still alive today.

You don't actually use schielhau like this, is this from the gloss of Meyer? Lew, PPVD, Hans Seydenfaden and Hans Medel don't utilize it like this.

ruclips.net/video/7gCNwrIM9ss/видео.htmlsi=6GtSd1gyOAnKnJ7h This and the version of superiorHEMA are most in line with my interpretation of the Schielhaw. A very vertical cut that wins the centerline by better angle and einschießen. I don't see the advantage in angle in your interpretation. I have nothing against the title btw. It's perfectly in line with the glosses. I always prefer in gear showcases of techniques and, if there, a sparring situation where this occured. But, as a content creator, I know this isn't always possible, because of time restrictions. Better to get something out then nothing at all.

looks alot like Porta di Ferro from Italian longsword. very cool

All this move are good, but leave the hand without protection, with a ring in the guard that would be affective.

God the pronunciation is killing me. Zver-hau W's are pronounced as a 'V' in German.

Hello, i know this video is quite old but as someone who recently started HEMA and just found these videoes i just want to say how much I appreciate the guard videos. They offer in depth but easily understanable instruction which really clarified a lot of things for me. You are an excellent intructor!

I learned this technique from ryonnosuke in sword of doom. It's like his secret weapon

What brand of feder is that?

thx

Thanks a lot big bro, i just start tryinh to do something in hema, and your video is my saver

Many thanks!

Where are the videos? Hope to have some news from you soon :)

Trying to analyse James style... He uses oberhaus to lure the opponent into Ox so that he krumps from fool's? Then counter attacks while the blades out of the way?

All those people walking past like there is not a sword fight going on.

What make of synthetic sword is that, please?

Can someone make a video showing a safer way of switching to the other side. As the masked bloke could easily swing back into your mid section at that point.

My Russian fencing coach taught me this down guard in sport saber, it works well. You may think it leaves your head open to a head cut, but no.The up parry is quickly there

These videos are incredibly useful. Thank you

👍

Useful vid, thanks!

These videos have been the SINGLE BEST rescource for learning German Longsword I have found! Thanks so much for making this knowlege more accessable! Absoubtly brilliant work!

Oh so I am allowed to use my left hand, that’s nice to know

very nice

Noice, I needed this

Someone tug that butt tag in, please =P

Thank ! In nearly of the videos I saw presenting the Zornhau, people tell you to continue by stabbing to the chest and that's that. Finally someone who acknowledge that most of the time you won't be able to press on, and who offers other counterattacks from this position.

you pronounce it like "fomm"

Thanks for the lesson, I appreciate anyone taking the time to help the Hema community. A suggestion though, it would help if you would cut the background music, its distracting and makes it difficult to hear what you’re saying

Thanks for the lesson Master!

What makes you think ochs is with horizontal edge alignment? Or more to the point... Always or inherently with horizontal edge alignment? With this version you show here any oberhau can blast right through it as they will have their edge on your flat. Static blocks from ochs... Are they described? I think they use the hilt, not so much the blade... As opposed to versetzen (displacements) which are not static blocks. Absetzen or winding into a regular diagonal edge alignment is much more efficient as well as widely depicted... In fact the horizontal edge alignment is hardly shown at all. And as already noted, you upper strikes are more a weird prellhau. The rotational point of the zwerch over your head gets hands hit, as there is no opposition in the zwerch, nor forward percussion onto any bind the zwerch might result in, making it a very risky strike to use, as opposed to the strong and line closing strike it can be

I like yo cut g

The male pattern baldness hew

Lmao. You seriously ended with me getting stabbed in the gut. Lol. That thrust gave me a bruised rib. I remember almost going down on a knee due to me not having enough air in my lungs.
