HEMA at Home - The Lines & Disengages

The ongoing series teaching British Military Swordsmanship from home. This is working from Roworth (1798-1824), and is for all military swords used on foot, including Broad sword, sabre, spadroon, hanger and cutlass.

It's really nice standing on my terrasse in Germany and getting the instructions from your deck in England. (And I think good fun for some of my neighbors.)

That's fantastic, I hope the neighbours enjoy the show too! I'm in Wales btw, though quite close to the English border.

@@AcademyofHistoricalFencing Upps, sorry. Been to Wales a few years ago (Snowdonia & Cardiff, bringing my telescopic jian for outdoor training). And plan to go there again.

Wonderful videos! Would it be too much to ask for a demonstration of Angelo's preparatory movements? They are the fundamental and it would be very interested to see your interpretation of them. Cheers

[@AcademyofHistoricalFencing]

As they didn't come in for army swordsmanship (as far as is documented) until after the Napoloenic period, we don't do them. They do of course appear in the 1814 cutlass poster, but we've only very recently looked into anything naval with Pringle Green. It is something we may consider adding in the future.
