Who makes that sword? Great cuts!

🔥 🫡

Beautiful technique. Not pushing through, great frame without wind-up 🫡

what rifle case is that?

How long does it take to get the Sigi? I’ve been waiting over a year for my Kriegor Armory one

Thanks, very useful video. Have you since found it neccessary or useful to pad out the bottom between bob's waist and the base? Also, i was paying attention untill about 4:40 and then pretty sword was pretty 😅

I have some feedback from you as I'm taking media, I was randomly assigned this video, and your method of speech makes it sound like your talking with an old friend, while learning something, but comedic timing as well as continuous recording rather than the breaks would be much better, as the break sounds really disrupt the theme that your going for. Hope this helps, and gosh darn it Nix is so cute.

I used to work as a plastic welder. I heard that spes use pp for their elbows and knees. Pp is hard and cracks easy. Where the black knights are made of pe. Pe is much tougher and flexes better.

I know this is from 2 years ago, have you tried taking old handles like that off by scraping?

nice

These aren't recommended for longsword? I just bought them for longsword.

Hi, would you be interested in selling either of these swords?

my palm girth measures 19cm on the left hand and 18cm on my right hand, should i get the XS or the S?

Are you able to "thumbs up" with these gloves? I do primarily Messer and want to be able to articulate my think more than my lacrosse goalie gloves

Toliet paper?

Her husband who watched this is confused now

Thank you for showing. Im looking to get something for a friend living in a weapons and armor restricted area. He has swords but no armor. This might be handy for him.

I dunno why they just don't compromise and make a 1-1-3 Glove where the thumb and forefinger are free and the other three digits are bound under a singular structure. That would add extra safety while leaving the two most mobile fingers free to shift as needed. On the other hand, these look GINOURMOUS!!! Are they supposed to be for anything other than long-griped longswords? I can't imagine these fitting into a sidesword, rapier, or sabre hilt or even a shorter gripped longsword.

Hasn't been that long, but what's your thinking on them now? Or maybe wait another couple months.

Noodle maybe, but I think you would be at least al-dente'

Excellent review! Great to see another small handed person do the review ❤

Is your opponent 8feet tall? XD (Jk, but that’s a high cut)

Ah! Sword smoke, don’t breathe this!

Thanks for the tutorial, just used the same technique to add some cord to my spear.

I know a guy who got stabbed between the forefinger and thumb. Would there be anything to stop that in this glove? Besides that I was considering getting it!

Cool. I didnt know this is being done.. Is this a hema club thing or did you "invent" this? :D

I like the "8 weeks later..." follow-up. Objective facts like that seem like the most reliable reviews

What are you saying Girls can't know about swords 😔⚔️ 😎

Great review!

As a beginner, my arms get tired so fast holding a normal feder lol. I can totally see this being great for a club since there are often plenty of beginners. Apparently, the point of balance is about the same as their standard feder, which is nice.

I will never join a tournament where this is allowed or even if there is a category where it is used. I want that option to die and disappear. That said, I find it a bit too expensive for what I consider merely a trining tool.

this means this sigi is more venerable to break？

now THAT is a pillow :D

Hey just a quick note from someone working with those since May and have worked with them with Martin in March - nice presentation :) They are not their first replaceable blades swords, but their first replaceable blade longsword is what I think your meant. I have used them against other standard longswords and a friend used one in a competition and it worked mostly ok for now. In my Ladies longsword event coming next month and the Ladies Longsword category for our November competition, it's an option to work with provided Light SIGI's if both participants agree. But also in Sofia CrossSwords 2024 that we will have in November we will have 2 separate Open Longsword categories. One will be with Standard blades allowed and the other will be exactly what you ask for - Longsword Open Light with Sigi Lights provided for all. So if you like to throw yourself across the ocean, we will be happy to have you here :)

So do you feel Malleus Martialis threaded swords feel dead in hand? I'm just curious. I really haven't used any threaded swords beyond Olympic fencing blades and a smallsword that is threaded and not peened (feels the same as the modern blades).

Love that you share your wisdom with us. ✌🏼

Unrelated: since you also take part in cutting competitions, do you view that as being part of HEMA, or as a separate (maybe complementary) activity?

Wait... that's why it's called Light? I thought it was because of the light weight (i.e. 1250g compared to about 1500g for regular feders). 🤣

Thanks, been waiting your review. I too am built like a pool noodle and ordered a feder even lighter than the Sigi Light, a Castille Armory Economy Long Sword. Only one because my partner is BOB. Thanks to a bicycle repair stand, he wields a Red Dragon nylon trainer.

Honestly I don’t like that it’s not built to fight against everything, but that’s not the end of the world. The thing that stands out to me is they sound like they have potential to be a really good option for full speed drills. Even if they are pulled repeated thrusts and bonks wear you down, and a bit lighter swords could help lessen the fatigue.

Unrelated question: Regarding the pell training at @5:50 -- I struggle to find time and opportunity to train for longsword tournaments beyond sparring once a week due to what I'll refer to as "unique life challenges." My competition at these tournaments are kids half my age who don't have family responsibilities like me, so they can spar and train several times a week, and I struggle to keep up with them despite the fact that I've been practicing (and translating) HEMA since they were in elementary school. Rather than make excuses, I try to make up the difference with pell training before work in the morning, and try to do so in a way that prepares me for actual situations that arise in tournaments instead of just mechanically going through Meyer's square -- e.g. Academy of Steel published a great YT video during the pandemic on using a pell to practice close-quarters Italian longsword devices. Was the exercise you were performing there at @5:50 actually structured, or were you just shadow-boxing?

I have one on order and I'm looking forward to using it. As I get older I am more worried about long-term injuries in my fencing and I'm hoping that this will promote other people getting them and having a safer experience overall. I will be the only person in my club with one and hope it will hold up well against other feders.

regarding the "sportification of HEMA" argument I too believe it's pretty invalid. A lighter practice sword will hardly be the magic switch that suddenly changes the way combat in sparring or tournaments are scored or if a strike is noticed. On the other hand, the concern that some people will probably get the wrong message and may _abuse_ (or, if they have no reference point, unknowingly misuse) the fact that this is a safer tool - and they start to deliver heavier strikes may have a precedent, seeing how many times safety equipment tends to unconsciously lower the sense that there's a danger present. But I do agree that particular irresponsibility is one of those "skill issues" that has to be dealt with each person on an individual level.

I'd get 2 of every HEMA trainer so I can share with others and fence them!

I challenge you >:(

Beautiful girl.

Wide and flat is not exeedingly sparring safe, i^d rather have turned tip

These are great but its all sooo freaking bulky :D I thought red dragons were unnecessarilky big. And although these are more nimble than red dragons they are sometimes just too big. Gaps are really not necessarily big problem as crossguard protects you aswell.

Awesome job! Is this all based on edge alignment and speed of the stroke?

I've been using a Bob (named mine Vlad) for about five years now. I do the usual gloves and kicks, but also weapons. I use primarily synthetics with mine. Id agree that feders, or other smaller/lighter steel swords are good, but not polearms or Buhurt style steel weapons. Its an expensive piece of equipment to thrash. Excellent for targeted pell practice, cardio, and even movement/footwork around him. Its been an amazing home training tool for me, both in weapon and non-weapon martial arts.
