You guys are absolutely wonderful to watch! The quality of movement is so smooth and you make it look effortless! I am a huge fan of your videos on rapier (Fabris) and now this! Keep it up keep them coming!
Greetings from the New Orleans group. The blade control on all of you is just fantastic! There is a wonderful sense of trust between all of you as well. If I may? What back of the head protection you using?
Hello Gabriel! Thank you very much! We're using Allstar masks with Allstar masks (AMI-FM) with Allstar back of the head protector (MSP-SK). Similar protection can be also bought from SPES - histfenc.com. All the best
Loved the video and the Dog. All very well done, though again for me far too linear. I would do almost all of them different. I will be doing a video session in the next few months, when my schedual clears, and so you can see what way I would approach all of it. This was 4 years ago so I suppose you would do them differently nowadays anyway. Keep up the good work.
There's very little in the actual text about footwork. I think the main concern should be to try and stay as faithful to what is more or less clear in the text. This video show that you can do the actions with mostly linear movement entering into the preferred measure/position. Videos from other people have shown that they can work well with offline/flanking movement as the entry. Maybe it's the difference in sword length or maybe it's the difference in physical strength of the people in the video. Whatever it is, both approaches can be made to work while staying faithful to the text.
Keep sharing. You always make me smile and want to practice. Sword play is such fun and you are amongst the few who show that.
Wallerstein with Joachim Meyer's dog. ;) Nice touch for a great video.
I don’t know if Martin Fabian is the best swordfighter in the world, but God is he fast... And fun. Sooo much fun.

Good video. I saved it to my instructional reference playlist

You move like a clocks! (You know, rhythmic) :O
Not if there's anything bad with that, it just look interesting and eye catching :)

Great vid guys keep it up!

Which piece of music is this? Awesome work with the blades. Quite elegant.
Hi Vincentas! The music is: Balanescu Quartet - Music From The Towers of The Moon, by Robert Moran
And thank you very much!

bonito
You've obviously put a lot of work in.
What feders are you using? They seem very flexible.
PJ McKenna Thanks! 3 x Regenyei and 1x Pavel Moc (the most flexible one)
More!
Martin Fabian What kind of Regenyei? Are those the light feder ones? Impressive work!
Omar Macías thanks! Medium/strong blades (5-6mm thick), 104cm blade, 28cm cross, 34cm handles :)
whats the title of the first track playing in the background in the video?

For me it will be more side steps i think that is better then just going forward into your opponent.

1 dislike from a guy who is too scared to pick up a sword.
it lacked a narration/explanation for new students to undertand what you are doing
