    It's nice to see a fellow fencer pointing out their mistakes as well as their success. Keep up the hard work and i hope to see you at another tournament again sometime

    This just goes to show that your phone can be one of your best training tools. Recording and analyzing yourself can teach you A LOT!

    I really like these kinds of deep dives. Not just for my own skill as a fencer, but also for my writing of sword-fights. Hearing someone talk through both the good things and the mistakes they made is so cool and useful. I'll watch each and every one of these videos if you make more.

    I have always found it amazing how fencers can see a attack coming, block it, and then be able to successfully counter attack all within a few seconds. Y'all have some unreal reaction speeds and reflexes

    I am very much an amateur in swordfighting, so it's a bit funny when you go "obviously, the hands should go first and the body follows" which makes me go "that... makes sense".

    Really enjoyed your analysis of this bout, really helped me understand the intentionality behind some of the attacks and defences. Also, I got a chance to see a couple of your shows at the Kansas City Ren Faire. I hope your actor is feeling better, but the discussion of the history of weapons was very enjoyable and informative!

    I like the action breakdown and your analysis. Stepping back time and going over the important parts in your intent and action makes this far more interesting than one consistent time flow. I want to complement you both on your foot work. Josh in particular looks very smooth and confident in his footwork.

    After fencing you at GF I have to say you're pretty tough to close safely on. That and you keep such a low profile it makes finding a target tough. Wish we could have gotten a longsword match but really grateful for the saber rounds! Hope we get more soon!

    Dude, I'm learning so much from this videos you make, I have even used some of the techniques you have shown and to great success I should add. I'm turning into a better swordsman by the day, just by watching your videos and trying to apply them with the lovely hema team I'm part of. Thank you so much for this content, dude, I hope everything goes well for you.

    Nice video, always cool to see people comfortable with talking about their mistakes instead of just their highlights. Can't tell you how many sword points I've blithely walked into. Tangentially I might just be old but I found the music kind of distracting.

    Josh is really animated when out of measure -and his combo at 3:28 so fun frickin low inside + high inside + high outside strike with 3 full steps and a half step
    - and your thrust are mega quick! Seeing the humble thrust defeat elaborate set ups is always a pleasure.

    @3:16 I'd say that even if you hit him iäd give the point to him. You touch him, even with a sharp sword it would'nt stop him from cutting your head of in his strike. Just wanted to say that good job!

    Would you be fine if I left you some feedback?
    I feel like you could highly benefit from it as it is on exchanges where you didn't seem to know where to go from there and why it happens.
    It would be about 4:07 and 6:00, they are quite similar from one perspective.
    But I get that it's probably annoying to get stuff like this. I just feel you, cause I was doing the same mistake.

    Hey there im new to longsword fighting and just wanted to ask if there are some good techniques for some who is quite short when fencing against bigger opponents. I'm 1.60 m, so for me it would most likely be that i'm always way shorter than my opponent.

    your oponent is so unskilled that this whole endevour seems like waste of time. Here is my analysis:
    Guy on the right hops like a bunny and telegraphs every movement so wildly that he would be butchered in seconds by any real swordsman. Guy on the right shows great patience as he waits for the most obvious of numerous mistakes and complete lack of form or strategy at the side of his oponent, by occasional bitchslap. I learned so much today!

    Sword before swording. Especially with feints, but also do the opposite for feints. This comment will make no sense to someone who doesn't sword, but it's my take away.
