Anyone else think manuscript 1.33 would be a kickass VR experience? A VR fencing lesson in the art style of the original manual. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
Your explanation and demonstration technique is very effective at teaching complex maneuvers. I’ve long puzzled over these old swordplay texts, as I don’t visualize these medieval Italian or German-to-English translated descriptions very well. You’ve given me something to work with now!
Awesome demonstration, very helpful to see this acted out. The little details that are taken for granted are what I'm trying to get, like how the two hands and weapons lock together or meet, where the hands are in relation to each other and how to keep them together while actually powering an attack. It's very weird for me, and I've never seen the ABCs of this explained.
Very interesting. It’s fascinating to see the fencing instructions explained and acted out. I’m glad I didn’t live in the age of such personal and brutal weapons.
Yes! A very thorough and excellent guide through the first play. I especially like that you adhere to the manuscript and show all possibilities that are mentioned in it.
Nice breakdown of the text. Is there a translated version of I.33 available with modern english text. As it was so nice to hear your accompanying spoken text of these descriptions. Would love to see more of these similarly done.
I have the Royal Armories version which is very high quaility, with the English translation next to the copy of the original page. It's kind of expensive but well worth it in my opinion. shop.royalarmouries.org/books-and-dvds/royal-armouries-publications-en/the-medieval-art-of-swordsmanship-royal-armouries-ms-i.33.html
Use more color in your background especially, I'd suggest a teal backdrop that's about 1/3 wider. Additionally I'd suggest gold or yellow gloves or gauntlets, perhaps yellow for the student and light red for the priest. Ankle bands would also be helpful to visualize footwork. Or some other combination of colors to accentuate movements if you stay with the ivory background. I'm sure you get the idea.
Late to the party since Ive only just found this. The 'falling under' action is different to what I learned and teach. I have always gone from Under Arm with the sword moving up (on the outside left of the buckler) and forward then falling into the opponent's strong (the same place you end up) This video shows the sword falling from under arm and lifting up the opponent's strong. My initial thoughts are that the sword rising then falling is better, as the sword falling then lifting is removing it from play for a period of time. I would love to hear reasoning about the technique as shown in the video.
I don't understand why you are using the flat of your sword against the flat of the other. Whoever uses the edge has an advantage. This is shown in Lichtenauer ( I know that is much later) but it is so obvious to feel during play I can't imagine that "the priest" doesn't know it and pass it on. I believe it is something the manuscript assumes, rather than states.
As far as i know, ancient Chinese sword does the same, the point is to redirect your opponent' attack motion while finding "door" to sneak in, besides your sword last much longer.
May I suggest altering the audio levels of the recordings when someone is not speaking? The body mics are picking up a lot of unnecessarily loud metal-on-metal sounds.

4 years late to this party but yes. I wholeheartedly agree that I.33 would be an awesome VR experience. 👏

Would love to see this series completed!
Same here. I'm having trouble understanding part of the second play and would like to see their take on it.
I do kendo (Japanese swordfighting) and these plays with a teacher and student are pretty similar in concept to the katas that are done in kendo
Excellent presentation and interpretation of the text. Thank you.

Very nice, detailed video! Can't wait to watch your following ones!

All right, this was done almost a year ago. When is the next play coming?
Yes! A very thorough and excellent guide through the first play. I especially like that you adhere to the manuscript and show all possibilities that are mentioned in it.
Fantastic,as always.many thanks.
So interesting! Thank you so much for what you're doing
This is fascinating, thanks for demonstrating this so well. I would love to see more of these explaining the rest of the plays in the document.
More please. I beg you.
The "shtudent"!😂
Vigorously fascinating! Awesome explanation, I NEED MORE OF THAT! Thank you SO much!
Fascinating video. My knowledge of I.33 is limited and this helps quite a bit. Thank you.
Brilliant!
More, please!
Great video... Looking forward to the next one!
The complexity is astonishing

Waiting for part 2 😊
OI wonder what the Medieval Masters would make of this? Proud that thier skills were still in use, or screaming Nay nay Varlout thou should have.....
Nicely done, very good work with the video! Too bad you did not follow up as promised.
Are there additional I.33 videos?
Cool! Are you doing other plays?
Will this series ever be completed?
Any follow up almost 3 years later?
what subsequent videos?

Im guessing this series was discontinued?

Who made the swords you are using?
Del Tin Armouries is the sword maker that you seek friend.
Always thought it was I.33 ("I/eye" point thirty three) & not 1.33 (one point thirty three)
Bro this is cool HEMA is the best sport and art
Time to deus vult?
