Can you direct me to a passage that describes the thing? I am compeletly not familiar with Meyer but this is interesting :)

@@Druid_Ignacy Meyer doesn't describe it directly but with a play. "In the Zufechten, if your opponent goes up before you, then step and cut from your left with the short edge and crossed hands to or over their right arm; but with this Krumphauw, step well to them, reverse your sword, and wrench down to your right side. If they work upward with their arms so that you cannot force them down, then go between their arms with your pommel from inside; release your left hand from the haft, grip your blade, and wrench upward" It's the movement of changing edges like from long edge to short edge. Earlier glosses like Lew explain it differently but the logic is the same. "When you, with the initiation of fencing, have moved half way into it, move the other half forward toward the opponent over and over with the left foot in front and make a free rising cut from the right side after each advance in accordance with the left foot and with the cut invert and turn the long edge of the sword and as soon as you bind against their sword with that, Indes, hang your point in from above and stab them in the face. If they parry your thrust and rise up high with their arms, then rush through. But if they stay low with their hands during the act of parrying, then seize their right elbow with your left hand and hold firmly and spring in front of their right foot with your left and shove them over it like this."

Jokes aside, nice stuff, it's the first time I see a dynamic cutting competition like this. Usually I see a lot of event where the contestant is static and takes a lot of time to prepare. This is good as it shows how the weapon is still super effective even in a rush :)

@@frenchgalloglass Fencing is what parents told us not to do: run with pointy objects, hit others, always start it xD Hmm that's true. And these tubes were quite difficult to cut through, these were the harder ones. Not being pinned to a stand-up would made them fall off uncut if the cut was poor. I've seen once a cutting competition where you had to chase a target that was running away :D can't find it now but it was some american advanced cutting tournament with a lot of various challenges (that was one of them). Other interesting was to perform very small swing in restricted area but still cut through tatami.

Pierwsza próba czyli ta w której uciekła mu nogą? Dzięki za analizę ^^ Jeśli interesuje Cię aspekt techniczny to wydaje mi się że "longsword pretzel throw" jest podobną sytuacją do tej która tutaj powstała.

@Druid_Ignacy w Ringer Kunst, Auerswalda (strona 30 do 33) mówi o tej technice. A z mieczem czy czymś jednoręcznym to tylko lekko zmodyfikować. Ostatnio w Rzeszowskiej Grupie Fechtunku zaimplementowałem zapasy jako stały element treningów. Dobre zapasy nie są złe.

My też otworzyliśmy sekcję zapaśniczą po warsztatach Macieja Talagi :) Póki co nawet darmową bo sami też się uczymy, w poniedziałki :)

@Druid_Ignacy To zapraszam do Rzeszowa. Mamy salkę w której normalnoe trenuje MMA, więc mata, elegancko można się porzucać. Co Ty na to?

@@Qba0B Zapamiętam! Może przy rozwijaniu sekcji wpadniemy do Was na wymianę doświadczeń :)

Na grupie zawodnicznej można usłyszeć wiele światowej klasy hitów

To jest klasyk. Powalcz z nim więcej to na pewno spotkasz to kombo xD

"ej mordo widać po mnie?"

Too bad I couldn't recorded coach sparring after this session - he was approaching with passing steps mostly, switching from vom tag to alber, destroying everything on his way, you'd love that

@@Druid_Ignacy Oh nice !

Aureus, Ensifer, Poker Armory, Krieger, Regyenei, and not in the video, but also Sigi and Chlebowski.

​@@Druid_Ignacy wich brands? -Yes Great fencing as always ❤

One more thing, it seems that you guys use a lot of swords simulators and feders, and use a lot of bind techniques, any sword/feder recomendations for that kind of fencing?

@@MarioTwinden well in the end you can do anything with everything with good training. And often creating good habits is easier with lighter sword, but if you're looking for more "realistic" sword, I would recommend Sigi King, Ensifer swords and Aureus. The last one has the smallest crossguard, which may be a drawback. What these have in common is wider blade with certain balance. But then again - when you look at winden from my previous longsword sparring session, the one that other commenting fecer pointed out, it was done with lighter sword from Poker Armory, so it is really a matter of training; as the guy who did this drilled different kinds of parries a lot before implementing this in combat.

@@Druid_Ignacy Thank you for your response, i was anticipating something in the line of what you said and it makes a lot of sense.

Do you watch every LS video on youtube?

@@TheMissingno only every HEMA one

Yes that was amazing !

Hehe rozumiem, uznałem że czasem warto pokazać fazę przygotowawczą, ale pewnie następny będzie krótszy :)

To jest prawdziwy powód dla którego kupił takie dobre rękawice

I edit in clipchamp, and find it under keyword "blue explosion"

Are those the new foam simulators with edges? Also, loving those transitions between nuckle grip and thumb grip, ending the last Hema drama with training and not complaining about "sportification techniques"

@SalaCierzoHema I'm hardly interested in dramas, so I don't get it, but if you're curious I know a fencer, @Leonardo Salomão, who was able to land bicorno thrust from a feint in high stakes competition in Hungary. As for the swords - these are two different go-now swords edition, one is later, little heavier thou softer and with edges (at the begginning of the video we both use this newer version). Since then they've made even better ones, which have colored edges.

@@Druid_Ignacy Thanks for the info ! The little Hema drama was that the guard with the thumb on the flat and the blade in the low line (like a pflug but in the middle) to cover the hands was responsible for cuts with bad alignement . But as the figther on this video shows, if you train the grip transitions, there is no problem.

@@SalaCierzoHema the very first video on my channel is me cutting with sharp sword using that grip, vom tag xD

​@@Druid_Ignacy I am refering to 0:27 grip, for aclaration 😊

Unfortunately I assesed opponent's intention wrong, or at least I could do zwer nachschlag immediately instead of waiting xD But sure, I can hit with it, if only I asses situation well behorehand (that opponent won't retreat / won't be in distace for retreat that would put them in advantage).

Powiedziałbym że Krieger, Bloss albo Kvetun. Kvetun w ostateczności bo sprowadzanie tej broni zza granicy kosztuje dużo czasu i pieniędzy. Jeśli zależy Ci na rapierze który wygląda bardziej włosko albo w ogóle jest sideswordem, to Poker Armory.

@@Druid_Ignacy Z Poker miałem i niestety nie spełnił oczekiwań, Od Marka chciałem w sumie zamówić ale ranny jest w oko póki co, Od Regenyei chciałem zamówić ale nie nie odpisują na moje Emaila oraz na swoim kontakcie instagramowym. Wiesz może jak cenowo wychodzi Bloss a jak za Kvetun? (zwykły klasyczny dzwonowy)

@@radosawbednarski6399 Kvetuna możesz sprawdzić na ich stronie ale musisz wziąć pod uwagę że przy sprowadzaniu od nich kosztuje jeszcze odprawa celna, jakiś tam procent od zamówienia, a że broń desw tania nie jest, to cło od niej też nie. Marek mimo wypadku wydaje mi się że jest dalej aktywny w internecie, ale na jego stronie jest rapier dzwonowy z lewakiem w cenie 650 euro. Ja używam rapiera od Kriegera i do polskiej kolnej konwencji polecam.

@@Druid_Ignacy dzieki za wyczerpująca odpowiedź

Left handed opponent forced me to do some rapier parries, the rest was rather basic xD I whish we had saildaggers forbidden and only simple daggers allowed, this would make thrust-only rapier very interesting, even thou it would require much better protection of dagger hand.

Chłopaki ale co to, Europa język wymusiła ustawą? Jeden i drugi Polski nickname, a w ingliszu spiczują =) .

​@@ZdzichuRaczka może na przykład chcemy żeby anglojęzyczni też mogli przeczytać nasze komentarze

@@Druid_Ignacy O proszę, co za globtrotterzy =) .

Wait whaaaat xD im in like 3 exchanges here

Thanks! Yes, he's a fighting machine!

Ewa Kochanowska if I remember name correctly

Also, you had some great actions there, very nice to watch

​​@@frenchgalloglass thank you! I fought in this ruleset two times, and ultimately don't like it. People ignore threatening to arms and no point limits is exhausting, both things make it also more prone to injuries. The atmosphere is great thou, and they like to experiment. If you have something in mind for workshop you could contact them and visit next year or somethin ;) I did messer workshop this year. You need to have in mind thou that the hall has some echo and participants are on very different levels.

I don't know xd

Thank you! Small point for limbs, doesnt stop fighting. Big point for torso and head, stops fighting. At the half time and end time every 3 small points are converted to one big. Only at that times fencers are informed about the score. There are no video challenges. Wrestling is allowed but without slams. Flat hits don't count. No flat hits and wrestling rules are rather standard in all Polish HEMA, however semi-continuous ruleset I have found very prone to exhaustion and injuries. And it facilitates much more ,,big-swingy-parry-riposte" like oldtimers like rather than Liechtenauer fencing.

@@Druid_Ignacy Thx for the response! But i cant say your opinion on the ruleset, it is good or bad? (Didnt understand your last paragraph,sorry)

@@MarioTwinden I didn't like it. It's prone to exhaustion and injuries, it's harder to judge fairly, it encourages ignoring right distance and getting hit on the arms.

This is much easier for me than long episodes :)

No, because I perform winden here with a long edge. According to PPvD mutieren from this side would be If I had performed winden with the short edge. You can see mutieren in action in my latest long hema in combat episode :)

@@Druid_Ignacy ahh indeed, thanks for pointing out

@@Druid_Ignacy This did look like a mutieren to me as well on the first watch, but you are right, it is'nt. It really shows how the differences between techniques can be very subtle :) Super nice winden !

Nie współczesna teraz się uczy bez rotacji nadgarstka tego przeniesienia. Ale tak, Liechtenauer to szpada elo

Rzadko publikuję i tak

Thank you :) Check other out, I have some more coming, just can't get time to edit them :c

We can hardly find time for that now, but would we record more of this exercise-focused interpretation we will post it! :> Awesome you like it!

Yes, it was noticable! Thrust / buttstroke rules and weapon parameters made it unique, but in general it felt like spear fighting :)
