@@matejzabka4501 well you're one subscriber closer! If you don't mind me asking. What do you recommend as a first sparring longsword? Preferably not a feder because I'm one of *those* people
@Robert Stuckey Thanks! The sword choice comes down to personal preferences. I would say that the feder is still a great option for sparring, for safety reasons, price, availability etc. I have been using Regenyei Armory (HU) heavy "Trnava" feders - they are good for techniques, the ones in the video are from Pavel Moc (CZ). SIGI Forge (SK) makes excellent feders as well. Most of them offer longsword reconstructions, check on their web pages, and they should ship worldwide. If you would like something like a collector's piece based on careful study and reconstruction, then there is Robert Moc (SK). Actually, the only longsword as such that I was using was a two-handed great sabre, so that can be a nice option as well.
@@robertstuckey6407 What do you mean one of 'those' people? As far as I'm aware feders are used by most longsword practitioners and most longsword tournaments
Hi, this feder is from Pavel Moc (cz) and is quite flexible. In other videos I am also using a heavy trnava feder from Regenyei which is not flexible at all :)
Mostly great video, but 1:38 seems to not be correctly named? Zornhau to my understanding of the texts is a purely nach technique, that tactically can be classified as a beatparry (upon the sword) and then riposte (Ort). Zornhau is not a direct attack in vor, from what ive read in the texts. (Except for Meyer, but he has a lot of things completly mixed up.)
Hi, thanks for the comment! I remember that there was a lot of discussion about it many years ago. In principle, it is mainly a powerful Indes action, and can also be a Vor or two-step Nach. In this video I just demonstrate that it can be used as a Vor as soon as there is an opening. Have a look at the Fuehlenless concept by Anton Kohutovic here on youtube.
@@matejzabka4501 Well tell me the source quote that mentiones zornhau in vor... it would just simply be oberhau. To my knowledge zornhau is a beat upon the sword. To Schielhau, its explicitly mentioned in vor multiple times in the sources, and therefore i think not comperable.
@@sabelfechter7136 You have to start with the ortt immediately though, otherwise you won't break the attack. In case the other one is not doing anything it becomes a Vor attack...but this is terminology really.
Thank you for this! I like short videos that demonstrate a lot very quickly.
Thank you, that was exactly the reason why we started making these videos.
Very cool and dynamic video. Very anschaulich and inspirational for future trainings
Thanks!
Thanks this will give us some inspiration for our own Training
Enjoy!
Super video, guys. Thank you!
Ah yeeeessss my journey down the HEMA wormhole has led me to a great video with 322 views and 2 comments
Well, it has to begin somewhere. But I can promise there will be more videos.

Damn... this is actually well put together. I'll be practicing this later.
Keep practicing! There is perhaps a new video on this topic coming in the next month or two.
Thank you for this video. Very instructive indeed :)
What feders are you using? They seem very flexible.

@@sabelfechter7136 Yes it can be interchangeable in terms of terminology. This might be interesting: ruclips.net/video/sMVNKpHTY5A/видео.html
@@matejzabka4501 Do you notice that this video shows only nach variants? 😉
