    Remarkably cinematic/film quality shoot and editing-presentation.
    It reminds me of a few dramatic product ads for theatrical products.
    The techniques themselves are interesting, and what your interpretations suggest was the rhythm and tempo of a fight during those periods.
    I've not see the Tor de Spana Sottano before.
    Most techniques tend to be blatant, a direct lock, grab, etc. but not as deceptive a manipulation as this one, very cool.

    After studying for a while these past couple months, I have to wonder or even suggest a second interpretation.
    Artists of the period did not often make mistakes and seeing the two to three extra steps needed to engage, I wonder by the resting place of the opponent's blade if maybe instead of stepping into a down cut, if the player does not simply bait and step to the side, allowing them to step into the attacker's own step and catch them with a pommel strike.
    The attacker's blade in the picture almost rests under the player's arm nearly as if captured there.

    Interesting. I personally like the "blacked out" look. It is not meant to be badass. I believe it is meant to give anonymity and force the eye on the figures and weapons. Every free man should be able to openly carry a sword. Just my opinion.

  • @Dhomazhir

    I like the step through for the pommel strike as a solution to the timing and range issue, but for Tor De Spada Lo Sovrano why did you decide to do a disarm where you keep the sword then a double arm bar instead of a disarm where the sword hits the ground and a thigh throw like in the pic shown at 1:04?

    • @Dhomazhir
      @Dhomazhir 10 лет назад

      Regia Turris I am confused, perhaps there was an error in translation? I made no mention of clothing nor protection in my comment. The first part of my reply was a compliment on your interpretation of Fiore's Pommel strike seen at 0:30 for I think it to be a very good option for the play.
      The second part of my comment was asking why you chose an arm bar and taking of the sword over a thigh throw where the sword ends up on the ground when the pic show seconds earlier shows a very different result than the one you demonstrated. I'm sure you have your reasons for doing it, and it looks effective, but it is different and I'm curious as to why.

    • @regiaturris
      @regiaturris  10 лет назад

      Aspie Sean in "Tor de spada lo sovrano" we followed the text (the glosses) and we decided to take the sword in order to avoid damage to the set, or hitting the operator who was filming! :-)

      To be beneficent when we can is a duty; and besides this, there are many minds so sympathetically constituted that, without any other motive of vanity or self-interest, they find a pleasure in spreading joy around them and can take delight in the satisfaction of others so far as it is their own work. But I maintain that in such a case an action of this kind, however proper, however amiable it may be, has nevertheless no true moral worth, but is on a level with other inclinations, e.g., the inclination to honour, which, if it is happily directed to that which is in fact of public utility and accordant with duty and consequently honourable, deserves praise and encouragement, but not esteem!

Le tre tecniche, come sono riportate nel manoscritto, sono una conseguente l'altra e di questa consuetudine abbiamo voluto pubblicare in video la nostra interpretazione. Nel codice Getty non è l'unico caso.

      It's just a "demo" of old prints. I mean, everyone of us knows real fights are dirt and messi, and even with a correct developed technique, you are in danger of hurt yourself when disarm or kill a foe, specially with sharped weapons like knives or, in this case, swords, because he will be kicking and twitching like a worm, probably.

One should therefore train oneself to extend the hand as far as possible and keep the arm as straight as possible. If you do otherwise you help your adversary, to your own harm and great peril".

    I dislike this fad of "bad ass" all black look that people are taking up. I'm sure it makes you feel like a bad boy, but it masks the motions of the fighters obfuscating the overall instruction. It's like Windsor in his black tracksuit pants - it's hard to see what his legs are doing.
    Also, could we see one cut that shows the entire body in side profile so we can compare it to the manual?

      Strangely I found the aesthetic of the video unique and well done. Also it allowed me to see several things slightly easier. But then perhaps my experience picking things up from vids of SCA tournament fighting, where there is rarely good definition of the action and only helm time really allows one see the action, helped.

  • @IRussian007
    @IRussian007 4 года назад

    You're doing it all wrong. You're not supposed to apply force behind your "blocking" strike before the actual maneuvers. This is why in real combat you'd lose, because your moves take too many steps and time. The point of blade contact isn't to stop the enemy blade or even control/guide his blade from striking you, but to control/guide your own as you smoothly move in to grapple enemy arms/hands. These maneuver's end goals takes care of the initial worry about enemy blade control, so no need to control enemy blade in first stages. The goal of the move is to get in the enemy space as fast as possible and grab his arms preventing him from controlling his own sword before you judge his fate by slashing. So, the strike must be very undedicated and nothing but a feint. But your strikes don't look like feints but look like actual(even if light) strikes.
