These videos should be called "what the author of I.33 assumed you already knew when he wrote the manuscript."

[@FedericoMalagutti]

True!

[@AfronautWasTaken]

Educational and straight to the point, just how I like it. Please never change, Federico! :D

[@FedericoMalagutti]

TheNapkuchen never ;-)

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Das Boot you are welcome!

[@yoskresnowardhana2481]

Cool technique ... nice background

[@oguzhantavus4237]

It's amazing that these techniques works for longsword as well. Cheers Federico nice and useful video. 🔥

[@kevinwilson402]

Very informative. Thank you so very much! Ciao!

[@incongruouscat4646]

Love this kind of video, Federico 🙂 Grazi!

[@TwentythreePER]

I believe I've seen a video of Arne Koets doing similar stuff on horseback because he says you don't have a lot of time as you pass so you must be efficient in your movement. The arming sword and sword and buckler/shield videos are my favorites from you especially the introduction videos describing the development of arming swords and typologies. I also love the type XIV you use for these videos too; I think I've seen a sharp version of that sword on Sulowski's website and it's a beautiful sword.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thank you! I will try to shoot more Arming Sword stuff when possible ;-)

[@SchildwachePotsdam]

Nice one! ❤️

[@NikolaStjelja]

Ciao Federico ... really loved the video. Its super cool and very well done.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thank you ;-)

[@NikolaStjelja]

@@FedericoMalagutti non cie di che :) it was really greatly done.. I was actually recodring the same technique with my wife last week - we tried to see if it would work in a hand axe - messer situation

[@effigytormented]

For the Algo!

[@corrugatedcavalier5266]

Good stuff!

[@gearstil]

I am very glad that I discovered your channel!! Very few training material refers only to arming sword without a buckler. Personally I have exercise some technics from Johannes Lecküchner (I think the same with Liechtenauer ) and his kriegmesser. When the next video will come?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Soon I hope. Right now I am in lockdown so... eheh

[@MartinGreywolf]

It bears mentioning you don't always need an imbrocata, ite depends on where your opponent leaves his crossguard. If it is high, like in the video, then you need an imbrocata, if he has it low, you can just stab him right there, i.e. execute a stoccata, if you want to get technical. The latter is what I.33 shows in its halfshield against first ward exchange.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

MartinGreywolf many things can be done for many different occasions. In the video I mention a precise case of course.

[@pyroplays599]

For the first one, me and my friend were testing out if that parry is actually effective cuz he had doubts, and he was correct. He can easily just duck down to dodge my riposite, and cut my leg/stab me.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

A counter to a technique doesn’t make the technique not effective, otherwise, no action would be worth training. If your friend is good at that counter while sparring at high speed, good for him, he should do it. That’s it.

[@DarkBearDojo]

Is there a link/source where I can find the names of the different attacks used?

[@florianbrechler6906]

At first great Video and you did a great job Show us the the wonderful arming sword...but whats the best gloves for these one handed beauty in sparring?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Sadly it’s a hard question to answer! I am going to answer it in the next QeA video ;-)

[@florianbrechler6906]

@@FedericoMalagutti thank you!

[@JuanMercado91]

I noticed that you reach for the opponents hand in the second maneuver before committing to the imbrocatta and subsequently your step, is this purposeful to protect your lower body from a counter attack until you can guarantee control of your opponents arm/weapon?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Exactly;-)

[@yizheliu304]

Nearly all infantries and civilians used armingswords with types of shields？Am I right?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Well it depends, but generally speaking I would say no. The sword is a side-weapon which can be used by itself or not. So it depends if the person carrying the sword wanted to carry only its weight around or also other 1 - 1.2 Kilos of buckler. War of course is a different thing. You can have a clash in which everyone needs to carry the weight of its weapons for Kms, or a large scale fight in which you can carry whatever equipment your army needs on the spot using animals and carts. It also depended from different city/region laws. Wealth, social status etc. So, yeah, it's a bit more complex than this. Of course, talking about iconography, we have images whowing both people with only swords or swords and shields.

[@yizheliu304]

But I have never read any manuscript of using with only single a one-handed armingsword.The manuscript of using armingsword are all used with buckler.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

@@yizheliu304 well, that's because we have just a few manuscript representing arming sword and they are not capable of representig the historical reality of the time at all. The Iconography I'm talking about anyway can be found outside of the manuals. Religious Iconography, Historical facts representations, marginalia etc. etc. Anyway it's just plain logic, as the sidesword was taught as a single weapon too, as it may happen to not have another weapon at any given time, the arming sword (which is the same thing, only older) is the same. The messer is the same, and is mainly taught alone, etc. etc.

[@yizheliu304]

Where did you find the technique you teach in the videos？What are They?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

@@yizheliu304 this video is part of a series. I explain the sources used in the first episode.

[@Vindrows]

👍

[@eyangamedud3293]

How much did the sword you have cost in american dollars?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Eyangamedud3 I don’t really know, I bought it years ago. Check in Malleus Martialis website

[@levifontaine8186]

I see a lot of similarities to later sidesword techniques

[@esgrimaxativa5175]

great video! Can you do a similar technique but on the other side against "riversos?"

[@FedericoMalagutti]

esgrima xativa yes, but you have to modify the parry

[@esgrimaxativa5175]

@@FedericoMalagutti Next video? :)

[@Naki728]

May I know where and how much you got those swords for?? They look awesome

[@FedericoMalagutti]

The sword used is in the video description ;-) You can find all the info in its productors (malleus Martialis) website
