A Lesson with Martin Fabian

A brief lesson on body mechanics and cutting with intent from Martin Fabian.
Special thanks to Martin for the lesson!

[@themightypaw3318]

A good video for learning how to incorporate feel and the flow. If you cant sense the intent of being hit by your opponent by his body language, or after swords collide, its safe to assume its a feint

This guy is good!

[@ossian1977]

Did Martin have a small heart attack when he saw the Red Dragon glove?

[@shindaneko3300]

He need the dad Mask and a weed shield for use that zwheinhander

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Using a feder without mitten gauntlets and throat and groin protection. When you get injured, don't complain. 😉😉

[@cosc_HEMA]

They use literally all of those things in actual sparring.

[@nothinghighandawful]

I usually use none of those things in sparring. Just like they didn’t need them back in the day... Something to think about.

[@chickensandwich1589]

Fabian is a beast. Number four in the world for steel longsword!

[@JetConvoy]

Who would you say is better than Fabian? I’d say maybe Kohutovic, Ljungqvist and Kool?

@@JetConvoy Check the Hema rankings

[@JetConvoy]

Daniel Morgen Ah ok I thought you meant like your personal list of best in the world, not the official rankings. Those change and people can have off days or there can be bad judging.

[@chickensandwich1589]

@@JetConvoy This is true, matched are judged differently too. The lack of standardization makes it confusing.

[@societyofhistoricalfencing7836]

I wouldn't judge a fencer based on some ranking system. Especially not with the different types of tournaments, and the bias that goes into judging.

[@DoguiDougua]

Martin really is one of the best out there. I hope he keeps uploading videos for the years to come

[@blasphmie]

Ey bros. I'm the real Martin Fabian. This guy is faking me.
