David Pascal & Ton Puey - Rapier

A friendly rapier freeplay session between David Pascal (starting on the right) and Ton Puey (starting on the left), about a year ago.
David trains usually smallsword from several sources, although he is now using a rapier, while Ton tries to stick to Verdadeira Destreza.

I swear Ton Puey moves like water. Great bout!

"water can flow, or it can crash"

I wish this came with some high level commentary I can almost never tell who hit who and how. It’s still exciting to watch especially the guy that moves like a snake though got the impression he was losing a lot. He reminds me a lot of my own style where I am more interested in seeing what is possible during sparring then being absolutely effective.

Francamente yo nunca no he tenido muchas sentimientos para la ropera, pero despues mirar un espectáculo tan agraciado como eso, yo tengo que confesar a estudiar la ropera me parece más interesante. Muchas gracias por sus videos muy impresiados!

[@Verithiell]

beautiful moves. So full of grace.

[@dude4real9455]

Oh David Pascal, share with us the wisdom of your glorious sources! I must agree with the comments below, I have seen David in two videos, and in one he fences with my fencing instructor :D The grace that permeates this style is apparent throughout! And this is an excellent bout, truly excellent and entertaining to watch, between David and Ton, bravo to both fencers. Fencers like you are why I chose to pursue this martial art in the first place!
Best Regards to both!

baddasstest 'action figures' on the planet

[@motoriders1436]

can i see more videos from David Pascal ?

[@nazcret22]

Fabris?

[@WilliamKeloren]

Do you see the resolute advance in there? No. It is bout between Verdadera Destreza with Italian influence and French schools - probably smallsword ones - with destreza influence (it is hard for me to distinguish between exact french authors as i mostly focus on spanish and italian sources).

[@Andunekull]

Чего за скорость такая? Они болеют чем-то? Или это показуха какая-то извращенная?
Where is normal attack speed? It's not a fight - it's something wierd.

[@TheSkindark]

Do You think that if the swords cut and you can die, you fight like HEMA?

[@Andunekull]

I think, that good fencing - is fast and hard fencing. I think that every good strike and every delivered hit must be painful.
Like that video for example, if we are talking obout HEMA only ruclips.net/video/yL6ZpSWGdkg/видео.html

сейчас бы в 2к18 спрашивать, почему дружеский спаринг (хотя я бы freeplay перевел немного по другому), выглядит не как "Big Moscow Tournament"? =)

[@cihanevran7329]

It is a friendly sparring not a fight. Read the description

Haciendo de la esgrima histórica un estúpido deporte. Lamentable. Por cierto, estos dos se mueven como dos patos mareados. Es el gran problema de la esgrima actual, muchos aficionados metidos en una arte que no entienden ni saben hacer.

[@pecadorcillo]

Es un asalto "amistoso", a poca velocidad y con finalidad experimental, sin buscar el tocado como fin último. Pero bueno, viendo que pareces tan versado en la materia, yo personalmente estaría encantado de ver algún vídeo de asaltos tuyos, para así poder comprobar tu entendimiento y sabiduría sobre este noble arte, así como tu capacidad de desplazamiento :)
