I am two years behind the curve, but this has been an excellent resource for my own study of Vadi. For someone who doesn't practice HEMA at all, your good lady makes an excellent training partner - a particular thanks to her for her part in this excellent work.
That falso impuntato is very different than what I was taught! We were told to circle under the opponent's sword with the falso to then make the impuntato with a punta rovescia towards the face. We use it more as a setup and provocation, often done outside measure (not sure if it's the correct translation)
Ah, yes - I know that interpretation. I don't think it really fits to the text though: "che tu falaci de uno falso impuntato per de fora dalla spada sua dal suo lato dritto" where falaci could be or derived from falsare, decieving. In another version there is 'fasaci' however, which would be closer to fare, do - this one is also what the printer of the 1568 made out of it "facci". If you want to do anything consistent throughout this, you'll probably need to start with the falso impuntato on a roverso line - towards their right side.
Fantastic content! I really appreciate how you explore the various interpretations of these actions and I find yours to be well reasoned. I hadn't thought of using that 2nd part of the stramazzone as a cover to the opponents weapon but I'm excited to try it out!
This squares well with my interpretation of the form and I have hit parts of this assault in both sparring and tournaments using an interpretation identical to yours. Looking forward to more videos!
@@SchildwachePotsdam The general rule is 1.) does it look like the text and 2.) did it work? If it supposedly looks like the text but doesn't work, one needs to figure out where one went wrong (whether in execution or context). If It worked but didn't look like the text then it's possibly a damn fine technique but it misses the point of doing Historical European Martial Arts.
Very clean interpretation, concise and worth every second. In regards to sound quality (from my perspective) it is louder and easier to hear then an older video I picked at random, Learn Sidesword #3 I believe. Watching any technique done with a partner makes it easier to understand, so doing something like this with another person seems beneficial. Also, if you are so willing, could you explain parrying with half cuts with the sidesword (or any other sword,) mezza-mandritto/reverso, etc? I’ve only stared studying the Bolognese tradition, mainly Dall’Agocchie. I do have a background in Meyer’s rappier, which I’m told has similarities. Regardless, fantastic work, and I look forward to more.
Thank you for taking the time! As for parrying with mezzi colpi: Generally, these are strikes into a Stretta Guard & there are 3 instances to use it. #1 As a beat to their sword after ones own attack or riposte. #2 As a parry (mezzo colpo) & riposte (this can be a thrust or sometimes a blow behind their sword, often followed by the mezzo colpo in #1) #3 As a blow towards their hands, while they are raising their sword, usually followed by a defense (for example they lift to strike a mandritto to your head, as they are lifting you strike their hand and immediately go into Guardia di Faccia for your parry) I hope that helps. :)
Very nice, I really love Marozzo's spadone. Looks very similar to how we used to do it. We used to execute the falso inpuntato a bit more like a hook (if that makes sense), so it can really wind around the opponent's blade targeting the face, which forces the parry with falso. Otherwise, as you say, it can be dangerous. On the tramazzone cut, if I remember correctly we used to assume the opponent would parrying in guardia di intrare (or faccia, I can't recall), the first blow. Thus, the second blow would attack the hands with a nodo di mano, staying on the same side of the blade. Basically like you are doing it, but higher up. Anyhow, cool stuff! And congrats to your sparring partner for showing what happens simply if your opponent keeps the sword in linea...you often get stabbed!
Thanks for the input! I don't know if I would actually cut a tramazzone if my opponent parries in GdF or GdI. I feel like I would need to deal with the point first or move, but I will certainly play with the idea, thank you :)
This is solid content! I really like the format with the text highlighted as you step through the movements. Very well explained and produced, pauses in the right places. Your wife looks like a skiled sparring partner. Just keep more content comming, I have already subscribed :)
I opened my RUclips account just to: 1 - Drop a "Like" 2 - Saying that you're doing a great job prmoting the Art! 3 - Your wife should show up more often, and if she's not training HEMA already, ... what are you waiting for, girl?!
I tried to improve sound quality. Let me know, what you think :) I also added english and german subtitles ;)

Next Monday we'll finally finish up the Primo Assalto 😅⚔️ Thank you! I am very glad for her to be at my side 😊
@@SchildwachePotsdam oh man I gotta get watching
She did great!!!

Very clean, thankyou. Also, good use of the go-now.pl longswords.
Thank you! :) Yes, they are a great training tool.
the couple that fences together, stays together.
Very nicely done and presented.
Thank you!
Clear demonstration, thanks!
Thank you! :)
Yay for Wife!! I'm cheering for you!

Thank you very much, I am eager to see your approach to the 2nd Assalto :)
Excellent display of technique and form, thank you!
Thank you! :)
Nicely demonstrated and explained, easy to follow and yes having a partner there to demonstrate in practice helps! Thank you for the subtitles!
Your welcome :) Thank you for watching!

Thank you, that's great to hear! Practicality should be a major factor in any interpretation :)

i see alot of similarties with Fiore' dei Liberi's style , very cool
Same but different, very cool.
Thank you!
Good to see that i'm not the only one using the N°19 Longsword of Regenyei as a marozzo spadone :)
It's a beautiful sword :)
@@SchildwachePotsdam It is. I still gonna buy the Doiman from Caino Swords though
Well, this was equally informative and entertaining... what a wonderful, long-suffering wife you have! You got away lightly😉. Keep up the good work.

I kind of thought 'falso impuntato' was something like 'quart over the arm' in smallsword.
That describes it pretty well :)

where did you get that Fiore poster at 5:30?
It's not mine, you'll have to ask Scott Jeffers ;)
What kind of swords are you using for the First sparring demostration? Thank you
These are foam swords by go now: go-now.pl/en/sports-equipment-go-now/
@@SchildwachePotsdam Thank you! I subscribed to your channel, there are a lot of interesting videos
Yeah, seriously. Your wife needs to do more fencing. Consider this encouragement!
You would be a successful instructor should you ever choose to walk that path.
Thank you, that's nice of you to say :)
