- What to do if a simple direct attack does not work? Well, you'll have to work on the setup! Here are several historical ways to approach Coda Lunga Stretta, the low outside & point forward guard of the Bolognese fencing masters. Enjoy!
In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!

I've had a copy of dall'Agocchie's "Three Books" sitting on the shelf collecting dust. This video makes me want to dig it out and devour it.
Go for it, it's one of the clearest 16th century treatises there is 😊
@@SchildwachePotsdam My main disincentive at this point is that I'm pretty sure if I did start studying it, I'm going to end up blowing all my money buying sideswords to train with. I already spend too much on longswords, arming swords, and messers... and my kids gotta go to college somehow. :P
Great video! Useful, as Stretta is the tired guard - IE what people tend to default to when at the end of long day of sparing!
Yup, it's a really common one :)
laughs in Porta di Ferro Larga and staying slightly outside measure
I love your technical breakdowns. Fascinating stuff.
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome content as usual, thanks so much!
Prego! Glad you liked it!
I love the mask mustache and the fancy pants! Truly an outstanding gentleman!
I love the videos in this channel, thank you for making them! I've learned quite a lot from them!
❤️⚔️
Love you guys!
this is really interesting
I love you guys, thank you for everything you do💚
That is very kind, thank you!
Awesome stuff! I'm just getting into that section myself but often don't have much time to train this stuff with other people, so your explanations and the visualization of how it might work against the opponent is super helpful.
Nice, as I do not cover all the actions, just hit me if a question arises 😊
@@SchildwachePotsdam will do, thanks!
Very cool.
Thank you!
5:29 It is very interesting! Roworth has something very similar to this in his sabre manual, and stated that a curved sword is better in this situation as it can provide more opposition
Interesting, I suppose a curved blade also has an easier time thrusting around. :)
nice.
Thank you 😊
I generally read the falso dritto as a false edged mandritto ridoppio.
👍 I think the essential question is if you go with your point under or over their blade 😊
I remember a video of yours where you heretically compared Bolognese plays to I.33, and looking at this... We can already see what is pretty much prima to mutatio gladii to nucken play (omitting the sword beat of mutatio gladii in favor of a direct attack) and also a low schutzen against tertia. Do I get heresy points for noticing this, and will enough heresy points get me a fancier paper hat when I will be burned at the stake?
I do have an actual question, though, looking at first provocation's low variant, roughly at 1:50 - why do it with the false edge? The obvious answer is that that is what is in the book, but what advantage does it give you instead of using the true edge, as most systems with hanging parries do?
Hehe, good fencing remains good fencing 😊
As for the upward falso: My suspection would be a nod to the false edge leg parry (against a Mandritto) that is also described as falso dritto. There the false edge keeps the wrist neutral, making it a really strong and comfortable parry. Here as a provocation the wrist is already turned further, hence the reference of striking a falso dritto almost with the true edge. But again, just a theory.
Nice swords. May I ask about the maker of those swords and their lenght? I have a Kvetun II and with a 93.5cm blade it seems quite longer that the ones you are using.
Here I use the Kvetun Sidesword 1 and Stephan uses the Malleus Martialis early Sidesword
@@SchildwachePotsdam Nice! Both are great, as are lessons from your videos. They are both educational and enjoyable. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Can you explain (or link to an explanation) of the sock/shin colors? They seem consistent, but I don't know that I follow why.
Sorry for not googling more!
I always wear red and yellow on my left, so you can easily distinguish which leg I have in front from the side. Also, red, yellow and blue are just our club colors^^
Great lesson :) makes me really wish my knees where not destroyed... Ah old age. At least i have RUclips 😂
Argh, sorry to hear! Knees are probably one of the most vulnerable parts of our body during fencing 😩
@@SchildwachePotsdam indeed, the keys of the whole structure, if I remember correctly :)
here do you buy your sword thanks
Good options for sideswords are currently Regenyei, BlackFencer, Kvetun, Poker Armory and Malleus Martialis
Did the Italians do it first? Are you sure Pedro Monte didn't inspire them? Lol, just joking around. It doesn't really matter 😊
whats the da lato you're using?
That's a Kvetun one I think
@@SchildwachePotsdam thank you
