Great stuff, I love the focus on proper footwork ❤️

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thank you!

[@tuerkefechi]

Very interesting, many things similar to what was done with the Highland Broadsword later. Makes me think how the Highlanders used their arming-swords of scottish style (sometimes called Quillon Sword) and Halflangs without a Buckler or Targe? Maybe kind of that way which is similar to what they did later with a Basket-Hilt? Nice to play with these thoughts.

[@Mr-Tibbster]

I was thinking similar in regards to it being similar to Broadsword systems, specfically I was thinking of English Backsword (like George Silver), but with the guards of Italian Sidesword.

[@dasboot2761]

Not so easy to do with footwork and fluidity, it needs a lot of practice. I like your last "Ura" hidden techniques for complete viewers :-). Are the last techniques with two full steps, intended to break the distance against a longer weapon like a pike? Is it a break-rush only move or maybe a preparatotry drill to enter in a bind to control the opponent weapon?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

It may be everything, but generally speaking is tod eal with the fact that, at least 2 time out of 3, your opponent will retreat if he feels that is loosing the initiative, so to land the thrust you may need more than a step, if the opponent parries the thrust while you are stepping forward twice, then you can go for a stretto action (if he is standing still) or a largo, depending from the situation. ;-D

@@FedericoMalagutti I'm not familiar with these notions but I have an idea of what you mean. Thx for the explanation.

[@jasonjames9836]

What master(s) or manuscripts have you been using to develop this? You look very fluid and smooth through these drills. Glad to see you post something. It has been a while 👍

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Yes, sadly I had some personal issues in the past weeks. You can find all the inf you asked explanation in the first episode of this short series!

[@jasonjames9836]

@@FedericoMalagutti thanks for that. I think I had somehow missed that first video. Nice synthesis. Some of this feels reminiscent of bolognase swordsmanship 😉

[@FedericoMalagutti]

@@jasonjames9836 indeed. In the end, we have a variety of arming sword shapes, and sidesword shapes... And the use is pretty similar!

[@siegebug]

2:55 what specific thrust guard does Federico mean here?

[@jedi77palmer]

Hello my friend, perfect video as I am taking delivery of my first arming sword very soon. What sword maker is your sword from?

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Malleus Martialis Swords ;-)

[@jedi77palmer]

@@FedericoMalagutti thank you. I've never heard of that maker and I'm enjoying looking at very beautiful swords they craft.
