Watching the sequences again after playing with the idea a little last night, I've noticed how many times the ultimate attack is executed with a bent arm. This is something we'd coincidentally conjectured at the club last week about how to keep from being hit with a roverso during the execution of a lunge or pass. I think the time draws near for me to make another deep dive into the source material.
I agree sometimes a bent arm is necessary (though I wouldn't use my video as examples of when to and not, sometimes I bend it because of the impact of the sword--being that it does not actually go through the target, and sometimes it's just bad form). Re-read Book2-Rule 6, Fabris gives some useful advice on why the arm can stay bent/refused. And thank you for watching, and noticing the small details!
Thank you for this! I've been looking for videos on Fabris's proceeding with resolution and have found them to be quite rare. Looking forward to your book on Meyer as well ;)
This is a system made popular by a native of Padua, Italy, Saltavor Fabris, who published his work in 1606. There are a number of similarities between this system and Esgrima (the Spanish system of fence), but arguably have their roots in different traditions.
Added hot links to each action with short descriptions

This is beautiful. I tried it tonight with a mildly skilled opponent with a great deal more success than I expected. More training will be required...
Korrinath, Awesome man, glad to hear it!

oooh i like this, i just started my Fabris path
Looks very clean! I'd love to see clips of the techniques pressure tested and used in sparring.
There are some great ideas in here!
Thank you for the video, it was hard to see what was going on from the cheap seats. :)
Awesome form. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could direct me to where I could find this beautiful all metal helmet and leather corget.
Here's the place: www.horsebows.com/fencing-masks.php I'm not sure if they still make gorgets.
Nice video! Just, the launches of the shinny helmet make my knees hurt...
Excellent!
Gracias!!!
very nice
I wonder where they got their fencing jackets
Probably entirely custom made
@@levifontaine8186 actually, i found them on revivalclothing.com :) (Y)
Where can I get one of those cool jackets?

Is this esgrima?. I have seeing drawings, never in motion (well not counting movies, that surely are hiperbolic or just wrong.
