Akademia Szermierzy - Countering the Direct Attack [ENG SUB]

Today we will come back to basics and explain why direct attack is so important. Of course we will show several tips how to deal with that action too.
Have a good watching and practise!

Maybe someone didn't notice - English subtitles are available:)

I noticed :) thx

Thank you so much for the subtitles.

I always direct new students to this channel. What takes me half a class to explain these videos accomplish in 5 minutes.

[@Ken_Jones]

You say "Defense: distance." It reminds me, my boxing coach's 1st lesson was that distance is your defense. You can block, dodge/slip, parry, but after that you can be hit, but with distance you are always safe. Distance and timing became my best weapons. This was 25 years ago, years later on KZbin I saw a boxing analysen video where the creator said "distance and timing, or actually position and rhythm are key to win in any combat sports". I now realize how good my coach was. Nice video! Appreciate it 👍

Your best content since the Fiore series... Love your accent, love the pommel joke!

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

Thank you very much:)

[@Pupcan]

At 3:38 you demonstrated and explained a technique which up until now, I mistakenly assumed was merely an exercise which my aikido instructor has our class occasionally practice. I was pleasantly surprised that instead of this technique being only an exercise, you demonstrated that it IS a practical, deliberate self-defense technique. There you are, showing it during an exchange, and the technique works as planned. Likewise, you caught my attention in your section regarding grappling. In aikido, very similar principles are taught and practiced. I didn't realize that any styles of European swordfighting had developed them too. (This feels like discovering the same language carved onto cave walls on different continents. LOL) Thank you very much for posting this video.

Scary shit. If I lived in those times I'd rather be a baker, a butcher or a candlestick maker.

[@MCmaksE]

Some are born to create, some are born to destroy - some are born to lead, some will rather follow. Everyone might be in need of a sword to protect themselves. Edit: grammar

[@AngelChernaevHistoricalFencing]

Great video and instructions. I am just about wrapping up a video with a series of direct attacks from a tournament. Will make sure to send anyone asking questions on how and why to do direct attacks and how to counter them to your video.

[@moreno_dei_ricci]

Nice!

[@bubble-r8b]

you need to bring these teachings europe-wide, it could become a new hobby. re-connect us to our past.

Well said. I want to learn it in Asia as well. No such sports available there.

[@bubble-r8b]

@@PinkyHYNg what part of asia are you from? in japan they have kendo which is pretty similar. perhaps there is something similar in your nation's traditional martial arts.

Have you guys done any sports fencing before going to historical? Footwork and tempo is very nice.

[@WilliamKeloren]

What do you think about any kind of lateral footwork (diagonal included) as a counter?

[@Tkoutlosh]

TBH I am not sure from where that controversy came from. Parry-riposte was definitely done but in the Lichtenauer tradition it was not prefered option and variant 1 and 2 and 3 was taught instead.

[@penttikoivuniemi2146]

I'm pretty sure what the text says is to not only defend, i.e you should take the initiative and respond with a strike of your own rather than try to catch everything the opponent might want to throw at you. The whole "controversy" is absolute bullshit, just like most of the HEMA discourse floating around on the internet.

I want to buy that sword where can i get it from

Hi. We use different swords. On that video it's two feders from Aureus Sword :)

[@MinSredMash]

What is the argument that they didn't parry/riposte? Never heard that...

[@akademiaszermierzy1105]

I heard too much... that parries are too dangerous, that parries belong to sport fencing. Of course parry with sport saber and longsword will be different but... they are still a parries
