this is so me. I'm an artist, and have been wanting to learn how these techniques are preformed and what they do so I can draw them properly without having to fantasize. Plus, I'm also a huge fan of Medieval history, and learning how to weild a sword is already as awesome as it sounds. Man, I really should give HEMA a shot some day.

Samantha - that last part of what you said (a great, easily shareable explanation) really rings true and it's what I absolutely love about this documentary regardless of how many times I've watched it. I'd actually been looking into HEMA for about a year and a half before I finally discovered that there's a club less than five minutes' drive from me (which I, of course, joined - I've been practicing for about 4 and a half months now). Before I started, the documentary helped give me a clear picture of what this is all about so that when I did begin training, I knew what I got into and hit the ground running. Now that I'm a HEMA practitioner, the more I do this, the more I can relate to what's said in the interviews through my own experiences. It's certainly had an influence on me as I went in, from an initial desire to get all-black equipment (to keep to what seems to be a growing "standard look") to always being self-conscious that I'm now representing the HEMA community to my non-fencer friends & coworkers, because I'm the one person they know who went off and started doing it. The video is still the first thing I recommend my non-fencing friends watch if they want to know just what it is I've gotten into. I do my best to help spread the word about HEMA around those I know in my day-to-day, and this documentary has been a big help. Thanks so much for making it. =)

Also wanted to point this out because I was nerding out hard on this bit. Throughout the film, the odd back and forth between the aggravation of how many films get HEMA wrong and the fact that film brings people to the discipline. Well at one point I noticed one of those who contributed mentioned the SwordMaster Agripa(forgive me if I screwed up the spelling). I wanted to point out for any who didn't catch it, but that name is one thrown around between Inigo and Wesley during their fight in the Princess Bride. :) It's a silly detail but I found myself delighted by this realization.

Wow! I have been looking for such a thing all of my life. I was always interested in swords fighting and fencing. But never found the community or the place to train it. I tried to find a Kendo school in my city but even that was not available in the UAE and especially in my city in Abu Dhabi. Soon enough this sport is coming here in the UAE and in my city. I even know the person who is bringing it into the country and establishing it here. I even did a sparring session with him for like an hour or so. So I think the first country in the Middle East that will start this is the UAE. It would be such an honor to start it here in the region. I can't wait to start attending classes in this. Such an amazing documentary by the way. Thank you.

Great piece of Documentary! Inb4 the pommel jokes, and trying to identify "hema stig" from Matt Easton's Chanel (although with this doco, it becomes to easy, I'd say!) In all seriousness, that's Great Great stuff, you've got here, with humble yet knowledgeable people, and from all around the world! How long did it take you to shoot all the interviews? There must have been a heck of a lot of traveling involved! I would rate it way above what TV has produced in that regard, And I really think channels such as Arte in France and Germany, or PBS in the US would honor themselves in diffusing this if they ever want to cover the subject!

This is really engaging and fascinating, so kudos to the director & editor team for one thing. I can't offer any expert comment or reaction - I have *handled* a couple of weapons, but never done any training or the like. Still, I found this educational. I'm coming at this from a 'nerdy tabletop games' angle. I'm a long-time role-player and GM, and quite apart from the pure historical interest, I think I've learned a few things to spice up my nerd-game vocabulary, so - thank you! Also I think what the HEMA peeps are doing is super cool. Also also, I agree that I want to see more technical accuracy in movie & TV fighting. Not every fight needs the research (eg Wesley vs Inigo in 'The Princess Bride' is fun partly BECAUSE they are just Flynning like an old-school movie) but any genre flick that's going for a 'realistic' tone only benefits from expert stunt/fight advice. Okay, done rambling. Great work everybody! And thanks once more.

@Apologies for the confusion. When two swordsmen engage in a bind, which refers to the situation where their swords are in contact with each other, certain principles and concepts can be applied to reason about the possible actions and outcomes. These principles are based on the nature of the bind and the physics of sword movement.🎉

For a while there, polearms were basically 10 foot long can openers. Really interesting to see how they developed with these ideas in mind. Also worth noting that I've read a bit on modern methods for manufacturing blades compared to historical methods, and it seems that in fact modern methods are superior. There's definitely a romance to a master blacksmith infusing his blood and sweat into a blade with every hammer swing, but what he's actually hammering away for is reducing impurities in the metal by beating them out. Same thing goes for folded steel in some regard, as it's really just a thorough way of reducing these impurities. When compared to modern methods of producing steel however, these impurities are released when the steel is brought to a molten state, and then desired elements reintroduced to produce, arguably not in all cases, superior steel. The blades basic shape is then cut from a plate of desired steel, and the process of material removal begins, which by all rights is an equally demanding and skill oriented process. Spring steel also seems to be superior to any historical examples of swords that have been recovered and tested, and is incredible for most any style of European sword.

I have recently become infatuated with the history and evolution of war strategy and combat. How armies marching in unison turned into squads stealthily moving spread apart, how shield walls turned into trenches and how aerial combat changed the game entirely. Martial arts reflect this in part. Fighting is something humans have done for their entire existence, and as I delved deeper and deeper into the topic, I started to feel weird about the idea of not being able to fight myself. What would my ancestors say? HEMA was not the go to for me in that regard though. I find it fascinating and I highly enjoy learning more about it. What I ended up picking up for myself though was BJJ with the outlook of moving into an MMA direction once I‘ve gotten a bit better. I‘ve been at it for almost a year now and I‘ve gotten a notable confidence boost already. Mind you, I don’t expect that I‘d be able to fight of a group of five muggers or any movie shit like that; just the fact that I am starting to master a style of fighting born and gradually being perfected in modernity that somewhat mirrors the general environment I, a person born in modernity as well, live in (unarmed and unarmored) feels *right.*

I personally would love it if this got big enough that we could have it recognized as an actual martial art. like, championships! like televised professionals getting paid big bucks to show up and throw down! I can see it much like MMA, the pros make money off of it and I get the drawbacks described, but the public interest raised could lead to big discoveries! new opportunities! and all we have to keep in mind is that the tournament is not the end-all be-all, just like the historic professional. Sigmund Ringeck got big bucks for teaching I'm sure, but I'm also sure he was also looking to be the best he could be.

At 1:21:11, you can see what looks like a 12-year-old doing drills. That perfectly demonstrates the point being discussed right at that point.

Is the point of HEMA to get good at adhering to the source, or to get good at the art?
@CedricHauteville
@CedricHauteville 6 жыл бұрын
Depends who you ask. Most people would argue that adhering to the source is the best way (if not the only way) to get good at the art. Others will say that the source is just a guideline and you're free to do whatever works.

+IGarrettI there's a ton of HEMA activity in London- Dave Rawlings (one of the people interviewed) runs the London Longsword Academy, and Matt Easton (also interviewed) teaches in and around London, I think. check it out: www.londonlongsword.com/home.html

+IGarrettI you're very welcome! I'm training in San Francisco and I love the group I train with, but I'm totally jealous of the space that the London Longsword Academy uses- it's gorgeous. here's hoping you give HEMA a try- I started about 7 months ago, and I've been absolutely loving it. also, be sure to drop by the WMA (Western Martial Arts) subreddit sometime- lots of great information there. www.reddit.com/r/wma

You should list the first video again and just put a massive annotation directing it to this one. You'll get a lot more people to watch it that way, it'll be promoted more because it has so many views and likes.

Has HEMA grown since 2015 as much as predicted in this documentary?
@CedricHauteville
@CedricHauteville 5 жыл бұрын
Good question. I have been a bit out of touch with the community, but it's definitely gaining in visibility, with a US tournament being broadcast on ESPN a couple years back, and HEMA featuring in the European Games earlier this year.

I see only one real flaw, in this documentary: It's great for us HEMA people, but... I don't feel that it is very great for most non-HEMA people (who are the people that a HEMA documentary would be best to show to, and who would benefit most from one. HEMA people will know a lot of the stuff already, after all). Still, great documentary and I'm more than happy to have contributed to the crowdfunding for it :)

+ZarlanTheGreen I'm not a HEMA person, and I have to say this documentary actually helped me a lot in finding sources and really sparking my interest in HEMA. I definitely think this is a real good documentary to show the more serious side of HEMA and not just the guys practicing in their backyards with a wooden stick.

FirstBurns Well I'm glad that it is able to get at least _some_ non-HEMA folk interested and/or excited :) I still think it's not that good at it, but apparently it does a bit of it, so that's good.
