Thank you! Sword came before feet this time, something I used to be very bad at. Crossbar was in the right position too, defended me nicely from the response.

i fight sca rapier every week. ill give it a try next time practice side note: if this stuff excites you, find a local HEMA, SCA, or even sport fencing group and they would love to have you join their ranks. if you are close to a university or well funded school, chances are they have something

@@jonahsimmons3645 I used to go to my local HEMA school weekly for a few years, but it's difficult to find the funds or time at this point lol.

Yeah that's what beginners do. That's the kind of fencing you can expect from someone who is sparring for the first time. This is low quality fencing because the participants were beginners.

As the video description explains, both of these students are beginners. Both of them had very little training, and neither of them had even sparred before (though several of Fiore's guards are used, as shown). Neither of them knew anything about grappling or disarms. They didn't forget them, they simply had no experience with them. In our club no one would be permitted to do grappling as a beginner. Beginners cannot use skills which take many months to learn.

As we note in the video description, both fighters were very inexperienced beginners. They had less than a year of experience between them, and neither of them knew very much about what to do. This was their first actual sparring session. This is not represented as a historically accurate depiction of an encounter between these two systems. We're surprised that this is overwhelmingly our most viewed video, despite the fact that it's so short, it's a video of two beginners, and it was uploaded over three years ago.

It's in the video; Swordsmithy. I've been using their weapons for three years, and this is the first of theirs I've had break.

The AlphaS was a very good camera for its time, definitely better than the comparable GoPro, especially at its price point. The Alpha3 Pro looks like an even better deal, especially for just shy of US$200; 4K@60fps and 1080@240fps will be fantastic for HEMA.

I don't have a Regenyei Thibault.

Agreed. Nearly every attack, red steps before clearing the space. Good way to get dead

I haven't tried the new Galahad. My Galahad only weighs 1.3kg, which is extremely light and makes it unusable in certain tournaments (which have upper weight limits). It's great for training, but I prefer a heavier weapon, so I prefer the Morholt.

Not conatructed for mordern Hema

As we note in the video description, both fighters were inexperienced beginners. Neither of them were very good, so the poor level of sparring is not surprising.

These are too bulky for sabres.

These guys are in Korea, and they're pretty open to the broader HEMA community.

I have used it for full contact longsword sparring. However, I prefer to use a modern HEMA jacket with 800 Newton rated material and better breathability. I use a Neyman fencing jacket for longsword. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goSUpJ17lq6eh9E

Thanks for the insightful answer and suggestion!

There are just a couple of drawbacks to a historical gambeson. 1. Less breathable than modern materials. 2. Less durable than modern materials. 3. Less protective than modern materials. It's also a little too thick to wear under brigandine, though you could definitely wear mail over it.
