HEMA Longsword Sparring: Arto Fama vs Colin Miraglio

[@williamkirshbom3163]

It is impressive how decisively Arto secures the center line and initiative with such small and concise movements.

I love watching Arto fence. Great stuff.

Thanks Matt ! I am very happy to have attended his workshops and fenced with him. I also did some sparring with Michel Rensen and Robert Kraaijeveld, I will post the videos in a few days. The Zwaard & Steen guys are a perfect representation of what historical longsword fencing should look like, in my humble opinion. Meeting and fighting them was inspirational and very motivating :)

​@@frenchgalloglassKind words, thanks 😊

[@LaurAgony]

It looks like friendly sparing to me more than a versus Salutation fellow hema lovers!

[@frenchgalloglass]

@@LaurAgony it was friendly sparring indeed, and Arto went easy on me :) cheers

Such beautiful fencing inspires me to learn how to fence

[@frenchgalloglass]

Thanks so much ! I encourage you to contact your local HEMA club, it's a lot of fun 😁

Any time I see "Arto Fama" in the title of a KZbin video. If he put out a series on baking or small engine repair, I would watch it hoping to become a better fencer...

[@frenchgalloglass]

@@jasonbaldwin273 I know, right ? Sparring with him was awesome, and attending is workshop was an invaluable experience. I hope I get to do it again in the future !

[@moristar]

Best fencing I've ever seen!

[@frenchgalloglass]

Thank you so much, i'm glad you liked it !

[@connormccluskey9103]

Does anyone know what gloves Arto Fama is using here? Are they the infinity gauntlets or something different?

[@frenchgalloglass]

He is using the ProGauntlets. Unfortumately, the company that makes them went bankrupt, so it is not possible to buy then anymore :/

[@connormccluskey9103]

@@frenchgalloglass Damn :/

@@frenchgalloglass you can buy a reverse scale glove from china for around 250 pounds, it's the same thing, if not better
