Dual Wielding Swords Basics - Between History and Fantasy

[@allengordon6929]

ironically, Kirito is one of the more martially sound dual wielders in anime that isn't an escrimador. his typical engaging guard is rather Dardi-influenced, for example, and he often has one sword point forward whilst the other is in a wrath guard.

[@Crane_pond_Chronicles]

Love the fact you used Sao in your video

[@silverswordguy4191]

Very nice video. I've been dual wielding weapons since I was little, it's nice to see someone actually taking a closer look into it.

You might want to check out the Filipino way of wielding two blades, they worked out quite a system.

[@theperson8275]

Yes!

Frederico. This is my style: I do a martial art that is similar to kendo. We do a martial art that is similar to kendo. We practice the weapons of sword, staff and dual wielding. The sword is kendo size. Dual wielding can involve two dagger sized swords or one dagger one regular sized sword. I have been training myself to use two regular sized swords for dual wielding despite that is forbidden in sporting matches. The problem I see with 2 swords is getting them caught and the weight displacement. Imagine a kendo swords that requires two hands but must be done one handed. My style: Rest one sword on the front leg. The second across my shoulders. The stance involves the front leg facing forwards but the behind is bent and the foot faces the outside, creating what is known as the L- Stance. The sword at the front is the blocker and pushes back the opponent while the second is the follow through.

[@cyrusmann5443]

you just developed a whole martial arts style with the most impractical weapon combination(in my opinion), what a chad

[@milewesler9592]

@@cyrusmann5443 actually, shorter blade- longer blade is one of the better ways of doing it as the small one gets used more like a parrying dagger and doesn't get in the way of the longer weapon, like in old italian dueling manuscripts or in the nito ryu style of kenjutsu

I am a FMA guy who spars with HEMA guys a lot and i find Dual wielding (a Common thing in FMA) is effective against longer weapons. From this video it seems we train a lot more to be able to use both hands independently from day one and to attack from odd angels.

[@junichiroyamashita]

It reminds me of Musashi Niten Ichi Ryu. The point was not of using two swords,but of being able to use a full size sword in both. In a context such as japan ,where samurai commonly carried two swords,it would have been more useful than in a european setting.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Junichiro Yamashita I very much agree with you. Plus, as a JMA enthusiast and former practitioner, I love Japanese swordsmanship

[@lildragon6415]

@@FedericoMalagutti It's nice to see someone practicing HEMA while appreciating JMA instead of constantly claiming superiority over the other.

I just bought both of kirto's swords because i love duel wilding and now that im seeing this it make's me happy that more people are duel wilding

[@narusawa74]

Thanks! Good warming up flow exercise for coordination and stepping. Feels very close to what I'm learning with Cali sticks. Look into it, their weapons type shaped an interesting style focused on a fast but complete offense/defence form. One facing threat and a chambered strike ready, like in your exercises. Keep making videos on this project please, next times with a partner to illustrate the 2 weapon dynamics and possible interactions?? Also, have a look again at the gam. Eof throne fight in season 6 with The Sword of Dawn knight and his fight with two side swords/arming swords. And let us know how much proper technique is used there. I'm curious about what your trained eye will. See.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Of course, I'll keep working on that. And thank you very much for all your suggestions and requests ;-)

[@narusawa74]

[@Kirinoji]

Hey my man, nice video! My style is a combination of Godinho's Dual wield, along with Musashi's niten ichi ^^ Godinho has some nice principles. I also constantly merge other master's dual wielding style for completing the lacunes, such as Godinho for example! I'll be watching your channel more frequently, your content is really really good.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Thank you Kirito :D

[@NIDER3]

Is Kirito's "Aincrad Style" efficient ?. In SAO Alicization he says he uses the Aincrad Style to fight, and in many fights he makes unusual movements

[@anderu2384]

I dont think it will be viable, it's mostly flashy moves

[@allengordon6929]

some HEMA is present, if crude. likely it's a side effect of him mostly wielding arming swords.

[@legendofmine699]

I think it's a great tutorial and it feels doable, even though I don't have any experience with swords

[@carlosbaligod8944]

yes, but this is also how you die. One swing from either of these swords will make them tangle each other. In addition, at this momentum you strike one sword everytime you hit. That's stupid since, one handing does the same result but more movement for thrust, parry and overall footwork.

[@zatrusofnietzche2281]

[@geshscale6068]

one thing about dual wielding, is its very effective against someone who wants to double hit. you use one sword to tie up their sword, and then stab with the other.

[@everythingisinfinite4602]

This was fun. thank you

[@theperson8275]

I would recommend looking to Filipino Martial Arts like Kali/Escrima. They do double sticks, it's called "Sinawali" you may be able to get inspiration for drills from this.

[@NobleReliance]

Loved the video! Thank you!

[@Zack-4960]

Tip to any type of fighting. When you use any fighting theme also ways move your entire body exercise and more power power = speed speed = power and enduce fear ig like some martial arts the jump a little bit using the foot when you can move your hips = more reach more power always hold stay relaxed and focused always look at tye most common weapon the enemy uses so you can predict what he or her is gonna do

[@tristanr320]

Have you expanded on this? I find Dual wielding easier to learn as a lefty as I do not have to reverse anything in my head.

[@dumpanimator]

Pros: Can easily parry attack Double attack easily Can take down enemy easily Cons: Hard to focus in both sword Some time you maybe jammed because not focus

[@angelus_solus]

Yeah, I can just imagine a soldier in the crusades fighting with two cruciform swords instead of sword and shield. That would have really thrown the Saracens for a loop.

[@RJhotel]

Love this video most. Wonder if i could learn this european style swordmanship in Indonesia.

That anime is sao very good anime and my favorite

[@Burnlit1337]

So how well does this translate to VR sword fighting?

[@DCHart07]

If you are talking about wiggle sword fighting, none at all. If you are looking for a more semi realistic fighting, look up Ironlights. It forces you attack in a confortable Motion, making you put your blade behind your back before you use it again. It also makes you go into slow motion negating all the fast movements. You will be in 30% speed when they charge at you. The community is fairly nice and small, but not hindering its capability of exercise, and it’s fun.

[@benjaminjohnson6936]

The Marozzo material for due spadi is a bit less straightforward, seemingly, since it's only in an abbattimento. Also, interestingly, unlike Di Grassi, Marozzo's "standard" guard for due spadi seems to be coda lunga (right hand sword) and porta di ferro (left hand sword), meaning both weapons are on the right side, near one another. This is also his default position for sword and dagger. I'm a Bolognese practicitioner, but I've never gotten into the due spadi, because, well, I have enough problems with one ;) But I'm wondering if there is any overlap between Marozzo's due spadi and his sword and dagger...

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Benjamin Johnson yes I’ve gone through all the due spade part, I will check the sword and dagger too to see which action is viable with two swords ;-)

[@godmodecheater153]

Why should I do this thrust technique when I can just use one sword and lean I to the thrust for more reach, while I make my body a smaller target. Or I could use one sword for defense and one for offense. But than a shield or parry dagger would be smarter

such a 1 sided look at dual wield, i expected a lot better... what about attack/defence stance? i mean forehand/backhand formation, personally i like to wield sword and axe in a forehand/backhand for offence and defence.. your focus seems to be on just dual wield offensive, why the 1 sided approach??

[@susspex]

Ok ok i like fantasy but...this 😂😂

[@arpioisme]

nice video,, however, the way you do the cut seems a bit... risky.

[@FedericoMalagutti]

rahadian panji oki every cut done with two swords while moving the other sword at the same time is risky. Personally speaking I never touched myself in this way. And this is because the swords move in different directions at the same time. I don’t feel endangered by this to be honest ^^

[@arpioisme]

I wonder if that's the reason why marozzo and manciolino kinda move their swords in the same angle (but on somewhat different planes), i mean, they often do it like "do a falso and roverso (sgualimbro) with the left blade and do a mandritto with the right one"

[@FedericoMalagutti]

rahadian panji oki yes, but in the defense from the roverso we also see the movement I do. Parry pommel high and tip low with the left sword while cutting a roverso sgualembro with the right sword. Of course he also move with a footwork which I wasn’t able to put into the flow drill because of the flow. But anyway we will see the action you just named, and a variation, in the future video on this subject. And yes, I think this is a key logic to not cut your own limbs down! LoL!

[@arpioisme]

I will watch it :D i always have a hunch that the real ability of dui spade is the fact that if the enemy only carry one sword, he will not be able to defend himself properly, unless he/she back up. I have done several fun sparring in this format, and whenever i deliver same angle strike but different target as i mentioned above, it's pretty amusing to see the opponent basically has to chose between their head or their leg, like in chess game. They can only choose one to defend.
