How to Practice Swordsmanship (HEMA) by Yourself - Fundamental Guide

This is my take on a comprehensive beginner's guide to train on your own, whether it be because you don't have any instructors nearby or because you want to do your "homework" and get used to essential movement patterns.
It covers the basic footwork, how to grip a sword (single- and two-handed), practicing cuts and thrusts, pros and cons of different methods, and other important things to know when you're starting out.

Skall, i know the youtube algorithm is basically throwing sword content under the bus…….but pls dont ever stop making these informative videos, pls dont ever get discouraged……..

[@Skallagrim]

Thanks. Sometimes it's challenging to maintain a positive(ish) mindset with all this.

[@ProfessorShnacktime]

@@Skallagrim Bro, it’s hard to maintain a positive mindset with the world the way it is right now. 😅

Have you tried spears? Kappa :D Good luck. I just watch almost all the videos cause it has entertainment and education value :)

[@holygooff]

Even when the camera is sabotaging you!

[@MWM1476]

This video feels like old-school Skal content. Great stuff!

[@HobieH3]

NOTE: in general, the later in time you go, the more detailed the manuals will be. Earlier ones were for people whom had, at the least, grown up in a sword wielding culture. Many of the later, such as British Military Saber, had no such presumtions.

[@alanphipps9245]

As someone who captained a fencing team in my youth and now does HEMA as a hobby I wanted to say that this is an EXCELLENT level of detail for true beginners. Nice intro Skall!

[@Skallagrim]

Thanks!

[@pRahvi0]

I love the fact that in a video about swordsmanship practice, we only start talking about moving the sword in the latter half of it. Really shows how important footwork is. And also the things not about sword are the ones suffering the least from you being by yourself, I suppose.

[@frankharr9466]

A lot like dancing, isn't it?

[@crusadernikolai1996]

The basis of all martial arts is the footwork! It’s the universal thing of all arts, whether you took karate or go to a mma thing or what have you. When I took a HEMA class the instructor said “this is probably the most useful part of the class” and it was just movement stuff

[@marshoak]

It's difficult being bipedal. We have to worry a lot about those split seconds when both feet aren't on the ground. My instructors tell me to move the tip of the sword before anything else, but when it comes to footwork, thinking in terms of moving your feet first will help during practice. We often just sort of move our legs and assume our ankles will handle the rest, but that can quite frequently result in rolling ankles. Most of the drilling I do at home is footwork, using various objects in the yard as a pretend opponent whenever I take my dog out. In fact, my dog now recognizes my silly fencing stance as a playful gesture and will chase me, which has actually been quite helpful in multiple drills.

[@dreadthemadsmith]

I was fortunate enough to have a grandfather who was an instructor for taekwondo. The basics of footwork roll over quite well for staff/stick fighting wich rolls over to sword fighting fairly well. Never lived in an area where (bladed) weapons training was available.

[@SerAvaros]

That’s very true. I also took taekwondo at a young age and we practiced the stance and footwork so much that years later as I have LONG been out of practice, it still feels natural for me to adopt that stance and move around as such. I think it’s just applicable with most martial arts in general, regardless of where and what system it is.

[@saikawanderer9166]

Beat me to it, alot of unarmed martial arts have good transferrable form which just leaves the actual sword part to learn

[@qelfan9711]

I haven't watched all your videos over the past 10 years or so that I've been subscribed, but you're one of the very few channels I haven't unsubscribed from and still enjoy your videos. I hate what the algorithm has done to youtube and hope you're able to continue being you!

[@namelessbeast4868]

I'm glad you managed to salvage the cursed recordings lol. I would like to see more of this type of content too(maybe even a full guide on specific historical manuals, that would be cool).

[@NightL3gacy47]

I've been wanting to get into HEMA since around 2019. I just haven't had the chance since there aren't any pracitioners near me, but this does give me a good understanding of the basics since I plan to build my own very cheaply made sword just to practice with. I'm really interested in learning more about HEMA. Thanks for the video! Sending love from South Africa!

[@drzander3378]

Figueiredo's 1651 treatise provides rules, i.e. solo drills/flourishes, for the montante/spadone. If you don't have a training partner (and even if you do), it's a good start.

Not quite historical but you're one of the reasons I started doing olympic fencing almost 10 years ago. Still doing it to this day. Thanks Skall.

[@marlinbundo2409]

If other people are like me, this will be a successful video for you Skall. This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm interested in. Not only the topic, but the editing, camera work, and pacing... everything was great

[@pokemon1895]

Thanks a ton for reviewing some of the basics. I'm in the "no partner no instructor learning from videos and original sources" camp, so it really helps to see this.

[@bluemoonstone67]

Decided to start commenting on all your videos. I enjoy them so much. I live out in rural southeast Oklahoma and your videos are the closest thing to discussions about weapons that aren't guns I get to have. As a lover of the sharp and pointy I look forward to your new videos. Thank you.

[@thedatatreader]

I never realized how much I rely on gravity for movement, it's no wonder I trip over myself so much. Every guide I'd seen explained footwork as simply the position your feet need to be at, but you've gone into the intricacies of body mechanics that I wish were more common knowledge. It will be interesting to see more things like this which are simply overlooked yet essential should you decide to continue this series.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

This is excellent content for beginners! A LOT of people around the world don't have access to a HEMA school, and may also not have access to other martial arts instructors either. So even a little bit of online instruction is much better than none.

[@franklinbrightwater2227]

Very bummed that KZbin has been burying your content lately, I have noticed a complete absence of your videos in my feed and only see your stuff when I seek it out directly. As always, love your content and please keep on keeping on!

[@DDDontCare]

As a practitioner of multiple different martial arts I found the transition to Hema very simple probably because the footwork is very similar. Not to mention the inherently accelerated reaction times.

[@JainaSoloB312]

Finished watching the video now, thank you for such a great beginner's guide💜 Especially the explanation of footwork, super valuable! I know you had to deal with a lot of setbacks and bullshit to make this video, and while only you can judge whether it was worth it, I just wanted to say I'm really thankful for this video and hope it does well despite the cruel algorithm I'd love more of these kinds of lessons, if they're a sustainable video series for you If not, I'm just glad you made this one!

[@balsamon69]

Man... I missed your long form videos. I haven't fully watched it yet, but i just want to say that i'm happy to see a more in-depth video. I hope you do more of these

[@gunnarhoegnison6392]

Very nice video! You managed to point out all important aspects for beginners in one video - especially the importance of footwork can´t be stressed enough. I like that you explained the guards as endpoints to a technique - there are some people out there who might claim that you don´t have to train the guards because you would never use them in sparring...

[@justguy-4630]

Most people here started training as toddlers when they -use- used sticks.

[@smol_hornet613]

At my elementary school, 'fighting' with sticks basically became this big thing that all the kids did out in the forest during break time, lasting for several years. I say 'fighting' because it was basically more an intimidation play of making light contact and scaring the opponent away, but it did grow into a kind of mini war several times. Kids forming into large groups to claim an entire section of the forest surrounding the school yard, building a stick fort, then routinely forming up to raid the other groups' forts. Whether the fort was occupied or not. Looking back at it now, I don't know what was more insane: the fact that it played out the way it did or that, somehow, almost no-one ever got badly hurt from it. And man, was it a fun time.

[@justguy-4630]

We're here for it

[@valandil7454]

I was given the fundamentals by my Jujutsu instructor a long time ago and he was never so clinical, I could see everything you were talking through as you went along though Skall you'd make a great instructor 🙂 I've been doing it for long enough now to just do it and I still do things involuntarily like the "kinda scary" according to the HEMA class I've been learning with grunting and shouting and honestly I would make a terrible teacher so respects man 👏🍻

[@lyonmandan]

This is seriously the biggest problem I’m facing. I’ve even thought about starting my own club as a total beginner just so I can get other people to practice with. That is not entirely off the table at the moment.

[@TheFyrePhoenix]

One of the greatest things, I think, about your channel Skal is that you acknowledge that not everyone has the same capabilities - monetary or otherwise. Sure, if you wanna do HEMA, you're gonna need a sword eventually... but like you said, a stick is better than nothing. It's such a great attitude to have and encourages those who interested to just start *somewhere*. Thanks for continuing to be a great example of the HEMA community :)

[@funwithmadness]

This is bringing up sooooooo many training memories. :) Here's a solo training rig that you might finder interesting. I got it from a kali instructor. Take a stick, roughly arms length (longer causes this to move slower), and tie one end of a cord to it at the center. Suspend the stick by tying the other end of the cord to something like a tree branch. Make sure the stick hangs about face high, maybe a little lower. Then smack one of the stick with your weapon of choice. START EASY! This will really heighten your reaction time as the opposite end of that stick will smack you right in the face faster than you blink. :) It needs a lot of space around it, so don't put it inside next to a window. You'll break the window.

[@jlan7844]

16:07 From what I've seen this segment here is pretty much the entirety of the British Royal Navy's cutlass training. The sailors were not expected to know any more about swordsmanship than the basic 45 degree cuts, because they (kind of rightly) believed that if their sailors were in cutlass range of the enemy then something has gone horribly wrong.

[@CptZatōichi]

Nice video as always thanks.

[@ahandgrenade3640]

ok this but for axes. it would be interesting to see a video on the difference in the way you use and practice with an axe rather than a sword. if there's even enough differences to warrant a video about it. either way i appreciate the information you provide.

[@red833]

Thank you Skallgrmim. I really appreciate this type of video as trying myself to lean arm combat without in person Instruction , but not having school or clubs near me. Please keep the great content going even if KZbin algorithm is mess with sword or weapon content. 👍👍👍

Thank you so much for this video. Ive pretty much been practicing like this by myself because i currently dont have the time or money to find a hema group in my area and your videos have been so helpful into getting a greater understanding and appreciation for swords in general.

Glad to see the skall channel going strong and not going down the shad path

[@kyuken893]

This is a good video for people to start watching this channel.

[@zenhydra]

In the past I've instructed people to spend what time they can to using a sword analog in an everyday and naturalistic manner. It obviously doesn't teach any specific fighting techniques, but what it does do is normalize the feel of a sword both in a a variety of positions and in motions. Unfamiliarity can be a huge hurdle, especially in the modern era, but intrinsically understanding the kinesthetics involved in interacting with one's environment while holding/moving a sword can be a large step forward.

[@Sir.Alonne]

I've been learning HEMA almost entirely from youtube since I found your channel around five or six years ago. I occasionally meet up with my friend to spar but we don't often find the time. I think my form and footwork are pretty good although I'm sure I have weaknesses I don't know about that could be pointed out by someone with much more experience. And in the last year or so my distance management and my ability to read my opponent have significantly improved (although I might have just gotten better at reading that one friend I spar with 😅). I have trained formally in karate for over 11 years (albeit not a particularly practical style) which has probably helped somewhat. I can't know for sure but I'd estimate I'm slightly better than the average self taught HEMA enthusiast. However, everything I've achieved in six years could probably be achieved in six months or less with formal training from an experienced and qualified instructor.

[@sensationalfailure]

Spectacular video! Thank you! Please please keep it up!

[@leonhard.doerflinger]

Nice! It's good to be reminded of the foundational elements of our passion from time to time. I don't practice footwork anywhere near enough. Follow-up would be appreciated.

[@LastCero]

Long time watcher...rare, if ever, commenter. I'm past the age now where I think can really get into HEMA (my knees feel 10 years older than the rest of me). But It's great to see you still have the passion to teach. Keep having fun man!

[@AlanWakeford]

I started when I was 50.. I don't find it high impact for the knees and the low stance builds actually strengthens them.

[@deathmachine777]

Thank you Skall!!!! It has been a struggle to get back into martial arts and doing some at home is getting me excited again.

[@daverage4729]

Some fantastic common sense advice. Always wondered why so many combatants in swordfights had their free hands on their hip. Great stuff Skall!

[@CourtDuellist]

Marcelli explains the stances as short fencing and long fencing. If I remember correctly anyway, correct me if I’m wrong. Long fencing: Your feet are closer together and the distance that you need to travel is longer than with a wider one. It also takes more time. Short fencing: Is the opposite, you feet are farther apart making your step seemingly smaller, but in reality you are covering the same distance. You are just reducing the time. The same applies for the lunge. You could argue that a shorter stances increases the explosivity of a lunge. Making it reach farther, but if you are not dragging the rear foot like in modern sport fencing then that’s actually not applicable. I prefer “short fencing” over long when acting more offensively, and “long fencing” when more defensive, since it actually brings your body farther away from the opponent’s blade.

[@LightShigeta]

Great vid for non-hema people to get an idea of what it's about. The footwork resonates with bare-handed striking martial arts.

[@nazarnovitsky9868]

Thank You very much for this new video !! 😊

[@ShagShaggio]

This is a good video! Always happy to see these training by yourself type of videos. They are super helpful for someone like me. I'm interested in HEMA more for the fitness and understanding body mechanics to help visualize fight scenes for fantasy writing and role playing more than the competitive side. I still love watching sparing and competition videos as they help with that as well but nothing beats going out and moving around myself. I may only ever be able to go outside and swing a stick around while looking like a fool but its enough to get me out moving around for some light exercise and to get a basic idea of how to move. That is often times enough to get the creative flow going. Plus its just fun and gives me an excuse to go out and carve suspiciously sword shaped walking sticks. Cheers!

[@Perforator2000]

This is exactly what I needed. Been trying to restart my attempt at learning at least a little swordsmanship. Seems like the number of schools within a sane driving distance has grown since I last looked years ago, so I might have to go to some classes as well.

[@mickmacy6161]

Thanks bruh! I really appreciate covering swordsmanship for the newb. Very in depth. Please do more. Found your beginner vids. I am kind of an expert, I took a fencing class at the YMCA as a kid (circa 1970) and in highschool (1978), fencing was a gym elective. Thanks for the instruction for us very handsome swordtards. Joined patreon.

[@John-ir4id]

I would love a follow up video/video series on proper practice. I enjoy all of your videos, but I do think having instructional videos like this would help retain viewers who, as you said, may need to practice by themselves for a lack of an instructor or sparring partner. Who knows, it may even inspire people who may have never had the chance to meet before to get together and form a sparring/practice group.

[@darkstarmike85]

Great video! I think a lot of people interested in this topic can't train as they'd like. People often just don't have the time/space/funds, or are dealing with a disability, or are just in some situation that makes proper training inaccessible. Thank you and if you have more ideas for videos along this line, I'd watch them.

Grab a stick... Before I could afford a sword outside of HEMA class, I bought some garden canes. Found out I could make a few swords of different lengths with gaffer tape and canes. Weight wasn't right but repeating movements and drills whilst at home really helped me learn it.

[@ravynbunny7193]

This is awesome, exactly what I was looking for! Can't wait to put this stuff to practice

[@Drejzer]

Also: you might want to see if there isn't some martial arts school nearby, even if only to get the training in footwork from there. Because all that mentioned here transfers over between most (of not all) of them.

Superb video! I've had to move to a place with no HEMA schools (outback Australia ) and the black fencer rapier I ordered when I had a HEMA school nearby is finally nearly ready to ship. Focusing on footwork first is excellent advice. Of course ill be following manuals (LVD is appealing for its techical nature, and i find myself drawn to Thibault. I have a background in wing chun so a more upright position with a focus on "grounding" (really a set of biomechanical structures) seems compatible with every LVD system but Thibault

[@123kickinitSUPER]

Wow this is actually really great thank you!

[@andrewreynolds4949]

This is exactly my journey in learning swordsmanship. I started out using a walking stick, then a canoe paddle, since that was all I had at the time. I didn’t have anywhere nearby to learn at, or anyone interested in practicing with me; so I pieced together bits of martial arts from when I was young with videos online and a book about basic swordsmanship I found at a secondhand bookstore. This channel as well as a couple others have been extremely valuable, and particularly Björn Rüther’s channel for the excellent videos of forms taken from multiple angles. I don’t recommend learning this way (I don’t think I’m particularly good, I have very little practice against any sort of opponent), but it’s absolutely possible. This video is nearly everything I scraped together when I started, I wish I had it back then!

[@mikkaelmansbridge5154]

this guide is exactly what i need.

[@michaelm6384]

I’ve been practicing with the longsword, rapier, and poleaxe on my own for about 8 years now. I recently have started trying to learn kenjutsu. Where I live there there isn’t any sword clubs so, I just do what I can on my own.

[@GallowglassAxe]

Great video! As I like to put it Footwork is the Foundation of Fighting. Even if its not HEMA working on your foot work whether it be African martial arts (HAMAA) or Asian martial arts or even LARP this can apply with different techniques. You kind of mention this but not in the same context but doing parries and guards in the mirror or filming yourself is also really helpful to build muscle memory. By looking in the mirror you can see what your parry covers or what part of your guard is left vulnerable. One thing I will do is close my eyes move into the guard and then open them to see if I'm in it properly. It allows me to build that muscle memory. Still not as good as with a partner and instructor but definitely good when you're by yourself. Another aspect I think is important by yourself is conditioning. Yes you can just do drill and techniques as part of the conditioning but It doesn't really maximize your fitness potential. Doing warm ups help prevent injury, doing cardio to last longer in a fight, or stretches to build flexibility and range of motion is in my opinion just as important as drilling technique.

[@dariusstone5409]

Thanks Skall. I'm definitely interested about new videos.

[@Therealravencry]

This could be a great series if you wanted to make that, it would be great for me and my friend who don't have a hema instructor nearby, and the closest one is way out of our price range. It's not as good as an in person instruction, but it's a start

[@cybernetic_crocodile8462]

I have been practicing using staff, knife and axe for like 3 years for fun all by myself. I didn't even use manuscripts or instructions, but I must say, that footwork, putting entire bodyweight into strikes and other basics of weapon use kind of come to you as you practice naturally. Which isn't suprising, since those basics in martial arts are the way they are for good reason.

[@seannahmcauliffe2367]

Great video! Foot work is something I struggle with.
