I'm really glad I found your channel. I started practising last week, at Achille Marozzo here in Italy. I'm bingewatching your vids when I'm not practising. Thanks
Good work, and interesting to watch. I'm wondering what's the point of keeping the left hand on the hip? Would it not be more tactically adventurous to keep a hand free for grappling, and striking?
a bit too late but the main point is to not accidentally cut yourself/get cut since it's an open target. Although you can grab sharp blades, you don't want to do it when the opponent's sword is still flying through the air.
+Bogumil Szymanski I'd personally be more interested in the forward pivot point, are some techniques easier to do depending on if it's close to the tip or center of percussion?
+Karsliyu Hi, this si something that can vary quite a lot depending on the sword. Blunt training swords and sharp swords generally are quite different in this regard. For me it does not make so much a difference, I try to use every sword in the way that is best suited for it.
The use of the shadow was really nice.
i periodically revisit this video despite never having practiced swordsmanship because it's incredibly soothing and hypnotizing to look at.
Happy you like it! Perhaps you should give it a try one day.

Great stuff Ilkka. I particularly like the lighting and the thrown shadow on the wall.
Very nice technics! Precise moves and footworks! Tks for another great teaching!
Beautiful! I wish I could learn using the sword! Wonderful footwork, very graceful hip turns combined with the sword strikes!
Excellent video! Great inspiration to us all. Looking forward to training with you in Toluca next January.
Great Video! Great music!
Thanks.
Nice display of the art!
Great work!
Nice,learned a lot from your videos.
Funny enough this seems to summarize the whole style.
Hey ! Very interesting channel i will see more of your content ✌👍
EXCELLENT my friend .
+Master Tracker Thank you!
Is it possible to learn by watching videos? Because no place in my state teaches this style.

That often depends on the fight.
It can be considered rude to have one's hand ready to grab or strike in a duel to first blood.

How historically authentic is this? Is it an actual surviving tradition of fencing or more like recreation based on study?
Recreation based on surviving, but comparatively detailed, written and illustrated sources.
What is the weight of such sword?
A little over one kilogram.
+Ilkka Hartikainen Thanks for answer. Could you tell me also where does it have point of balance?

+Bogumil Szymanski It depends on the sword. Roughly within a palm forwards of the crossguard.

This is the Braavosi Water Dance
DaBezz I thought it was the Kazakhi Mamushka.
