To my knowledge, there are no storta specific treatises. Do you find yourself borrowing from messer, dussack, or sidesword? I would think dussack makes the most sense, but I don't have experience with it.

I also have a serious question, if you can believe that... does the fear of getting hurt (as in ouch, any hit hurts on bare skin; not referencing something serious) made you spar more conservatively? Did you found yourselves not taking unnecessary risks?
@saamfvg26 күн бұрын
That is the point of the exercise: being more aware and focusing on precision instead of rushing in or taking risks. Also, I don't remember if it was specified in the video, but only the head was targetable.
@FiliiMartis26 күн бұрын
@@saamfvg It was only specified in the description. But I also didn't pose the question correctly. Did you actually felt more like in a real bout, so more skin on the line 😏, a stronger fear of consequences? Or because you limited the attacks to the protected head, it felt more like normal (plus fun and less constrained movement but not so much afraid that you will get a bruise)? This is not clear to me.

@@FiliiMartis Unfortunately, both people in the video haven't been with our club for a few years, so we can't say for sure. In my experience (I'm Marco, the producer and smm, btw) it didn't feel like a real bout at all, just like an excercise. Obviuosly I did find myself being more careful and slowing down the pace, but I also started back in 2013 wher we didn't have access to proper protective gear and therefore I've learned to respect and treat simulacrums like real swords.

Some questions: 1. How would you modify these gloves to be a bit more protective in those areas of concern you've addressed. 2. What do you think about Purpleheart's version with leather covering the exposed areas? 3. Would you say these are at least decent for bolognese and sabre? That's what I'm on the lookout for mainly, and don't want to shell out double the money for a heavy glove I cannot even use because it won't fit in the guard of a sidesword or sabre.
@saamfvg2 ай бұрын
1. Thicker and more resistant leather and/or padding 2. We have nevr tried anything by Purpleheart 3. Decent or synthetic simulacrums but some hits could be painful. Not advised for steel. For the last year we're been using the SupFen master gloves as general gloves for synthetic simulacrums and they've been working fine.

@@saamfvg i mean to fight like if you wanted to kill the orher guy. Put some rubber or something on the blades and swing it to the other as if you wanted to murder him. With good armor and practice I think it is doable with minor injuries. Like, I understand why do it for fun, but if you want to recreate fighting, the most accurate is if it is swung the way it's meant to be. I wouldn't ask this with Jians for ex. while wearing a robe, where you might actually disembowel the other.. but with armor. You can serious.

This is the first time I see a storta trainer (synthetic or otherwise). Dumb question, but is there supposed to be a dedicated system for storta? I never thought about it, and now I don't know if it's me not paying attention, or if there is none. It's a short sword, so not sure side-swords systems cuts it. So, dussack? Messer? Somehow they seem more appropriate for storta (and hanger type swords).

As far as we know, no, there is system or manual for storta. Messer would be the closest to it and maybe you can adapt something from more recent cutlass manuals.

@@saamfvg Funny enough, out of curiosity, I was just browsing the Del Tin offer of swords. They are selling something listed as "Storta or Dussack". So they see it as being the same, and I can see why. But it's true that in HEMA, if we say dussack, we think Meyer. And you are probably right that (leaving Meyer's system to the side) all these shorter swords and hangers would have been used in the same simple way, just like a messer.
