Hi.
I must say, this is maybe one of the best approaches to the topic. I train HEMA and Buhurt since years now, and since a bit time i also got the honor to lead a own school in these two sports. I also train modern fencing and have talked to sca-fighters, so i would say that I atleast know something about the topic. And over the years i've seen more and more aggression between these sports. Your point is very much the truth the sports should strive to! I can say that HEMA is the perfect addition to learn proper techniques for buhurt, and vice versa buhurt has the proper "atmosphere" of fighting, it is not so much technical, but more about the instincts, and the mentality of the fighter. So they supplement each other perfectly, and in my opinion, they should be seen as two sides of the same coin. To be a proper swordsman, you should ideally train as much as you can, and use whats useful to you. To quote: "Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own."
Also i must compliment your video as such. There is room for improvement, but i would be happy to see more! If this might be useful too you, try to speak more clearly, be this through speaking more freely or to bind yourself to a script. Also you could try to use a more neutral background. But then, as said, your video is very good, and i dont have experience in this topic. Keep your work up!
Thank you for the kind words! I've been a martial artist in one form or another for the vast majority of my life and I have long been a proponent of cross training. Especially when there's 3 sports/arts so closely related to eachother.
As for the videography, very much a work in progress, as I get better at talking to the camera, editing, ect, things should improve ^^
Thanks again for the feedback!
This was a video that answered a lot of my questions thanks 🍝🍥🍗🎖️
Glad to hear ^^ I'll be revisiting this subject soon!
This broke down the differences very well. Many Thanks 😊
Thank you! I did a follow-up video with more active practitioners of each discipline as well. It's long but full of good information as well ^^
Sca also have steel fighting aka Rapier fighting that is closer to HEMA then heavy fighting.
I'd say HEMA splits the difference between C&T and Heavy. At least where I'm at in the East. (There's also now the "Rebated Steel" which is just Buhurt duels in the SCA.)
Best video I found on this subject
Thank you! I suggest watching part 2. Since doing part one, I've actually become a tournament winning HEMAist, and for part 2, I sat down with other sword sport folks with different specialties.
Good video! Good points!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to making a follow-up once the vending season settles down (this weekend is our last big event) especially since I started practicing HEMA!
That said by someone who has never had their hit ruled "no quality" at a HEMA tournament because it was too light, and the cut wasn't followed through. HEMA tournament rules focus on the force and the cut quality, or you get 0 points. SCA only cares about the force of the blow. SCA is the weakest of the three, plus fighting on one's knees, pass. That said, you didn't sell the SCA well; you want to sell talk about the wars.
Funny you should say that, since I'm competing in my first HEMA tournament this weekend. I've been actively training with Forte Swordplay for almost a year now, and I love it. I'm still an active SCA Heavy Lister, fighting in the EK Crown Tournament in November, and have just joined up, currently as support until I get my own kit, and then as an active fighter, with the Heneker Heathens Buhurt team. I also released a second video where I sat down with veteran competitors of all three disciplines to discuss this topic with a more well-rounded perspective. My core points remain, all three sports are awesome, all have the areas where they excel, and we can all learn things from each other. I hope you can put aside your personal bias and try your hand at some other sword sport, i think you'll have a blast and find the cross-training more valuable than you expect. ^^ "There are no master styles, only master practitioners."
