Im curious about how using a parrying or sail dagger with the langes messer changes things. I've tried it myself and am quite fond of it personally but interested in other's impressions/feedback.
@messeringaround142620 күн бұрын
I have tried it, but as I remember it felt weird. There really isn't much to go on in terms of sources. Yes, Dürer has three illustrations, but there is no text and it seems to be more about surprising an opponent with a dagger hidden behind the back, rather than regular fencing with dagger and messer together. Possibly something could be adapted from the sidesword & dagger material in the bolongese sources.

@@messeringaround1426 worked out. Nice setting. For a tatami alternative, have you tried rolled soaked cardboard? 54oz dry weight soaked 48hrs can be a lot of fun, especially with dowel centers. The cartons look too easy for you. I have a vid on how to make them if you want to try. Most cardboard is free and readily available. 5/8"-3/4" dowels feel pretty good when soaked as centers. Oak is significantly harder than LVL or poplar, but anything works

I recently did some cutting on pool noodles for the first time and never realised how difficult it is.

Pool noodles are soft, so they don't need much power. However, they are quite picky about the edge alignment. If the cut isn't good enough the noodles will just bend out of the way of the cut.

It's interesting to me how similar the plays of the messer are to Filipino martial art. This video maps perfectly into the roof and shield in FMA. Shield is the deflection on the weapon side. Roof is the deflection on the open side. Just keep the sword high enough so that your own blade or stick doesn't rebound into your head when there is really hard impact.
@messeringaround14266 ай бұрын
I suppose there is a bit of convergent evolution going on. Similar implements and similar problems ending up with similar solutions. Is Shield a point forward defense usually followed up with a thrust, while Roof is a point offline defense usually followed up with a cut?
@dallasburnworth6 ай бұрын
@@messeringaround1426 Shield is weapon side, and roof is the opposite. Both are typically followed with a cut, but depending upon timing, distance, etc. could be a thrust. Because the stick or sword in FMA is usually 30 inches or less, the ranges tend to be closer.

@lennartfuest61386 ай бұрын
Nice channel and i get what you mean with the Video, it makes sense. But you are wrong about that, that in most pictures the arm is kept behind the back. When you look closely you can see that both fencers have the hand behind the back when they are in off lead or have their left leg forwards. But in almost all illustrations when they are in regular lead, the right fencer has the hand behind the back and the left one on the chest. Problably to Show that you can do both at any time in lead Position. So its wrong to say that that both have the hand behind the back, the left fencer has it in most situations in lead position on the chest
@messeringaround14266 ай бұрын
Yes, the option of placing the left arm across the chest is mentioned in Lecküchner's text (and also the video). Also when I look for them there, are more illustrations when the left arm is placed across the chest than I realized. Still I prefer the behind the back option most of the time. It's easier for the arm to drift forward and become a target again, when it is across the chest.

@messeringaround14267 ай бұрын
I'm the fencer in the blue jacket, but I know a bit about my sparring partner's choice to not use the finger ring. While the finger ring is there to protect the index finger the protection is far from 100%. If you've put your index finger over the quillon and the finger gets hit, the quillon acts like an anvil. It's happened to me a couple of times and it's really quite painful. This is why my sparring partner sometimes chooses not to put the index finger through the finger ring.
@chanalan76707 ай бұрын
@@messeringaround1426 That sounds nasty, personally I've yet to receive any hit on the index finger that was pain enough for me to refuse from using the quillon with my Gabriel 2.0 and Red Dragoon, but that is subject to change anytime!

Most of the time I still use the finger ring. I have only stopped doing that when fencing left-handed with this sword (the asymmetry of the guard matters, when it comes to the protection of the index finger).
