- Ah yes, the Change Strike, which has become a favourite of mine. Someone delivering powerful overhead cuts? Set it aside, change the line, and attack the opening!
Because why try to bring the opponent's blade to a halt when you can just direct it elsewhere? That's the focus of this video which could help you deal with that aggressive fencer who likes to use big swings that are hard to stop.
Very interesting. Keep wanting to join the local HEMA, but time, oh sweet sweet time where are you.
Time is indeed a difficult foe. Hopefully you will one day win that fight and get some HEMA going!
Yeah he doesn't even have any time to shave, that's why he's the great moustache.
Impresisve techique; and you can wield both sword and spear to prove it. Madam Swordsman. Sink me, they'll be parry you, then next instance they're striking head first into their own mal wrath.
Anyway, I dont like the hanger anymore. I grip it with the saber grip and still feels akward. It's really elegant though.
Yes you could do this with a spear. I will admit, the sword version does take practice to leap to the side, so a stutter back and then forward are probably safer and easier. But the next technique requires even more practice, stay tuned for that one, though it really needs a sword to work.
Ah, Fiore's sottani
Amazing, similarities between German and Italian! Who knew? Hehehe. Always worth looking at both if you ask me.
@@LaurenDangerShaw absolutely. My club studies both Fiore and Vadi as well as early Lichtenauer and non-Lichtenauer sources. Keep trying to get them to break into Ledall and the English material tol
Exactly. I’d love to start sprinkling Vadi into our classes, and yes, some of the Ledall role as well.
@@LaurenDangerShaw Ledall is a phenomenal tool to teach beginners as it includes one of the longest "common fencing" exchanges which actively include stepping, at least, according to the two dudes I've studied it with.
Vadi is weird and doesn't integrate well with anything due to the lunge and retreat footwork, imo. I love it, but it's a very distinct system.
Vadi-centric classes just to see how different it gets would be fun. I always enjoy a good compare and contrast, and it’s been eight years since I looked at his work. One day. Maybe.
This is all good conversation, thank you so much!
