Man I need to find a hema club, I greatly enjoyed this. Seeing these videos,especially broadsword, just encourages me to want to learn it even more
That's actually really nice to hear! Where are you located?

This was really a fun spar to watch really nice blade work on both sides.
The slow motion cuts are very helpful for beginners. Thanks for posting.
You're welcome, thanks for the comment!
Some very nice, clean exchanges with minimal doubling.
Good stuff! I'm a big fan of the armour class broadswords. :D
Thanks, I can only agree! They're *almost* perfect.
@@historyandsabre Are these the new HEMA blade variant? I got mine just before they became available sadly but the feder style blade is still nice. :D
@bdavies24 They are the feder style blades, although the earlier version called the Stoccata blade, originally developed for Stephen Hand in Tasmania. AC have now got an improved version of that one called the Manitoba blade, which Jay Maas helped develop. The newer one has some added distal taper and should feel a bit nicer.
A lovely exchange
Cheers!
Good work 💪
Thanks!
Nice! I hope one day I will get one these sweet baskethilted swords. Keep your inside, cause feint outside -> сut inside works too often. But I enjoy every your sparring videos, guys.
Thanks a lot! Yeah, that worked a few times here. Btw, if I remember correctly, you are from Russia? Kvetun make some really nice and pretty basket hilted broadswords.
@@historyandsabre yeah, you totally correct about my location, sir, and I even use their sabre (Easton model), but, I am afraid that they don't have serial broadsword yet, also, I really hope that they will. I've saw some attempts in their social medias.
@@July__Frost armour class or bust
So are Ascis like the official shoe of HEMA? Half my club including myself and the instructors wear them.
I have wondered the same and it seems you're on to something.
Beautifull
Thanks!
Good session.
Thank you!
What gloves do you guys use on your sword hand? Or the basket hilt is sufficient and you just use thin gloves?
These days I use the Thokk WeaponMaster Gauntlets for sabre. They are not perfect but I like them. I can't use them inside a basket hilt, so here I was just wearing thin gloves, which leaves the wrist unprotected.
excellent. Those basket hilt seem to be working out for your group.
They are, we are very happy with them save for a few details.
@@historyandsabre May i ask what those details might be?
@@zacman123333 Sure, I find the grip circumference too thick, which makes wielding it more taxing on my hand and also results in a less secure grip at the same time. I also find the blade wabbles/vibrates relatively strongly on impact. Otherwise, they are great and the construction is superb. Nothing too dramatic and I am still very impressed with Iain's work.
Such a nice fight and then that double hit in the end :/
Yup haha
Whats crazy is in movies they make it seem like you gotta do these insane cuts to injure someone but in reality, the first hit would have cut through the shoulder and did some damage
I don’t know about through the shoulder, but definitely into it. Probably would have ended a duel with honor satisfied. Depending on what tendons it hit or if it reached the artery in the arm pit, might take a military opponent out of the fight, but you wouldn’t want to bet on it.
Nice exchanges;-)
Thank you! ;)
Where did you buy your broadswords? I'm looking for a replacement
Hi, they're from Armour Class in Scotland. You can contact them and ask for an infantry "dragoon" basket sword with a Manitoba HEMA blade and you'll get the improved version of what we use.
The lane boards match your jackets.
True, ahem, that was *totally* on purpose!
cool
Cheers!
Black Fencer keeps teasing their steel basket-hilted broadswords, wonder how they'll hold up against Armour Class
Yeah, I'm also curious. We will have to wait and see :)
Which broadsword system, if any, are you studying?
I work from Roworth! Cheers
Either of you have a Swiss Sabre?
No, but Max has both a blunt and a sharp two-handed Kriegsmesser.
This is cool, but would be cooler if both were equipped with targes. Would be much more accurate to how the highlanders fought with their broadswords
Fencing with a targe is a slightly older style than what we're doing here. What you see here is a military style of universal swordsmanship on foot closer to 1800.
