HEMA in Bucharest: Longsword Sparring with Commentary

Hi, guys! I visited some friends in Bucharest, Romania last weekend. I taught some workshops and had the chance to spar a ton of local HEMA fencers. Enjoy (a rather long) compilation from those spars.
Thanks for my hosts from 7 Sword Bucharesti, and the folks from Iron WIll HEMA Academy and KdF Kronstadt.

Very enjoyable to watch! Better filming than many sponsored tourneys!

Hey, don't shit on tourneys. When you are running a tourney, the primary goal is to make the fencers happy - they are paying for it. Sponsors help mostly with prizes, the heft of the bill is footed by the fencers. And when you care about the fencers, you have so many other tasks that filming takes a back stage. Also, if you need to have 4-5 rings on video (as some tournets do), you can't afford a 1000 USD camera for each. You use decent webcams or phones, and you live stream it, which always lower quality. While here I am in a chill training hall, there aren't 100 people running around, I was still worried at times for my Nikon Z30 on the side :)
