I can see this being a rather effective workout with a pair of arming swords. Twenty minutes each day and you'd be shedding pounds and toning up for sure.
I've been doing dual wielding falchions for half hour or so every day for at least a month now. At first, was sore, felt maybe I was messing up my left wrist. But was probably just sore from never bending it so much. Now I can say my shoulders do feel stronger, more flexible, have better coordination. Even though I really only do longsword for fighting, and have no use for actual dual wielding other than exercise, it was worth it. Oh, and maybe if im ever at a party and want to show off lol
@@angelus_solus oh BTW, 5 times a week on average, haha not literally every day. Also, I found some other dual wielding styles to copycat from the guys who do cossack sabers. The Behind the Back part of their saber swinging is what made my left wrist sore at first. It is now just as coordinated as my dominant hand which is cool
I've seen this in korean twin swords (largely based on early chinese equivalent). Some is also present in Krabi Krabong which I'm kinda trying to learn atm. 4:10 seems both like godinho and one of patterns in the KK dvd for example
Interesting and cool to see some dual wielding covered from a HEMA perspective. I've practiced for a couple of years with katana and wakizashi. In the Book of five Rings, Miyamoto Musashi instructs practice with two swords in a similar way to what you have shown here. Good stuff man!
This was the first suggested video of dual wield exercises, simply as an exercise of accuracy/hand-eye coordination, but also the goal of getting into better shape, but this video was very informative in more than just that, will definitely be returning during my training for other videos you have!
Thanks for sharing, I'm trying it with a xiphos and khopesh, lots of unique possibilities, but definitely not ready to post anything as substantial as this ahah
This video by Federico helps a lot. Thanks! 🙏😀 BTW Got interested in dual wielding swords after watching Martin's videos on his channel 👏 recently. But, frankly, found it not easy to follow, because I'm only a blank sheet of white paper in it.
I bet they will get easier and easier to follow as your experience will grow! I plan to shoot a couple more exercise videos on the topic, which will help making things more easier to approach.
Neither of the two. There’s a bit of historical sources (which are Renaissance anyway, while I’m using two 12/13th century swords) and a bit of my own ideas. I gave a look to Kali only now, to see if there’s some things which I would like to steal.
Probably mostly stuff they came up with themselves based on techniques, since there are very few drills in HEMA sources. Federico's last exercise at around 4:06 looks a bit like one of Godinho's patterns. Martin's last thing is something I've seen FMA guys do, but it's also an obvious pattern I came up with way before I started training martial arts.
@@FedericoMalagutti might also want to check out the Korean Ssang Geom, a manual that describes using two sabers. Jack Chen has done an English translation
@@FedericoMalagutti I see! I did a couple of years of Pekiti Tirsia Kali and we practiced every single movement shown in the video. Only so many way to move etc. Cheers
Was this actually done historically and was it effective? Have you tried sparring with a 2 weapon set versus an opponent with a single weapon such as a longsword, if so what were the results?
It depends from too many factors. First and foremost the skill of both fencers. Anyway: Yes, there are a lot of renaissance manuals teaching dual wielding swords! And: Generally 2 weapons vs 1 has the advantage at average level.

@@BachataKnight Well! My point exactly. I might have to get some mild steel flat bar and make a couple swords now.

Many of these drills also exist in chinese double saber systems! Except that false edge cuts aren’t done with most dao.
Really interesting! Thanks!

I wonder if there will be a nomination for “two army swords” in HEMA, it would be cool to see something like that 😂😂

Please also do it in slow-motion =) not the recording, just the movement :D
I would pay to see that.

I'm practicing this with 2 messers, there's a lot of cool possibilities when considering the Nagel.
Cool!

Cool!!!
Any other KH fans who saw his stance and thought of valor form?
Anyone gonna mention the AOT logo on his shirt!?! Yooo
Oh sorry wrong video, oh hi Federico
Where Can I get that Coat with the Scout emblem you're wearing?!
sinawali in filipino martial arts.
Are these actual drills from historical HEMA sources or repurposed FMA drills?

What about use the left sword like a parrying dagger? There are issues?
It's one of the main way of using it. But the goal is to "either use the right or the left" as a parrying dagger, in the end. ;-)

Reminds me of kali
Might sound odd but where did you get those cut-off pants? They look really comfortable and easy to move in!
I bought them 7 or 8 years ago from a website called Dein-Larp
@@FedericoMalagutti Thanks :)
Is there a source to learn more of this from?
What about with Messers?
No bad technic I think! But it is useless for kenjutsu(Japanese swords). But still it looks really no bad
how to defeat dual weild?
In my experience, something long-ish and pointy has the advantage over dualwielding. Like a naginata, shortspear, or some slimmer halberds.
