An often forgotten verse to the footwork ode: you can feint with footwork. Whether it is Fiore's offline step from Posta di Donna, rapier treatises and sneakily advancing rear foot to gain range, or probably the purest expression of feint by footwork alone - lurking on a flank of a small skirmish outside of measure facing forward, and then launching a one-handed spear thrust to the side once the enemies on the flank momentarily dismissed you as a threat.

Footwork is important in all fighting

[@corrugatedcavalier5266]

Great stuff! I like the conceptual angle that this takes rather than being very technical. Nothing wrong with technical either, I just appreciate the variety of approaches.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thanks!!! :-)

[@fabricio-agrippa-zarate]

Fencing? No, I do footwork while holding a sword.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Ahahahahahah!

[@Davlavi]

Keep up the good work

[@I_Willenbrock_I]

Beautiful

The parallel with manoeuvering is interesting. Dall'Agocchie (1572) says that learning to fence is critical to learn how to manage armies and militias. If you know when to attack, defend and move against an opponent in single combat, you'll know better how to do the same with a troop.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Musashi says the same basically, and some time later Von Clausewitz explained how, by looking at the big picture, war can be seen as a duel “like two wrestlers trying to control and throw the other”.
I study military tactics since more time than I study fencing funny enough, but it’s only through fencing that in the end I understood something about tactics.

Thank you for the content, I learn a lot from it while being entertained! I hope one day another sparring video with Martin Fabian occurs, your thrust is looking dangerous and that would be exciting to watch

[@salabatallador]

Great basics and cool edit, like 🙂

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thanks!!

[@user-vp8gi8iy7n]

Good video as always🎉

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thanks ;-)

[@user-vp8gi8iy7n]

I still remember back in ~2015, many people just plant in measure doing zwerchhaus… I’ll say our understanding improved quite a lot😄

[@FedericoMalagutti]

@@user-vp8gi8iy7n 100% agreed ;-)

[@Vindrows]

👍

[@Druid_Ignacy]

Haha, making comparisons to history of large battles and military units to make hema nerds pay attention to footwork? I see what you did there ;D

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Well, in yes in a sense, but actually tactics follows the same schemes both on large scale and one on one combat! You just had to learn what is what in either environment and then you can use the same knowledge to understand both context;-)

Is this normal? Is there no danger to the foot or knee? Is it not worth turning the foot on the toe?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Well, I don’t have an answer for you on this topic. You can injure yourself in many ways. Sometimes sport fencers injure their internal knee by going backward this way at far higher intensities and a far higher rate etc.
It depends.
