I want to learn the longsword

shout out to a great FIE meme, updated for HEMA

[@yari4046]

it's not the kid's fault that they made the longsword so cool

"But you can be a good at Saber in about 5 minutes!" Jesus, you don't have massacre us like that.

"Doubles are so common that no one will know if I suck" That one hits a little to close to home LMAO

[@spanishinquisition7623]

The disses at Sabre were hilarious “you can just make stuff up” “you can be good with it in 5 minutes”

I am one of the better sabre fencers in my class and I cannot even name a renowned sabre master.

And geometry. That's a very important part of the rapier.

I get everything and nothing about this in the same breath it's amazing I have never related to a protagonist more than I relate to Longsword Guy

[@croweater6814]

To be fair, I'd also like to know rapier and sabre, but after I learnt the long sword. Also longsword hasn't been hand and a halfed by modern fencing.... Yet.

thats why you need to teach him longsword

The Longsword ❤❤

[@anoakenstaff]

Yes! Such a wonderful video. However, I am still going to learn the longsword, because it is a hero's weapon. I saw Fiore once. The longsword. I want to learn the longsword.

[@DarkwarriorJ]

1:05 : "Doubles are so common nobody will know if I suck." :D :D :D :D That got me xD I am currently in the phase of 'I am new to this I keep doubling' :D

[@ordinarymodder905]

Truly a heros weapon

:champion:

[@CannabisDreams]

I feel that, I like the mace and kite shield.

[@succducc9886]

You think doubles are common in longsword? There's a reason Tallhoffer said “Here they fight with messers, God help them!”

[@RowbotMaster]

Instructor: I will make you immortal Me: with eternal youth? If they answer yes I'd take the rapier because I think it is actually kind of cool

[@judahboyd2107]

Pole hammer duels look really fun, but I want to learn the longsword.

[@anoakenstaff]

If I only have to do rapier for a short while, then I can switch to longsword for an infinite amount of time... I think you know what I'd choose.

[@Swordsmanjan]

Still one of my favorite HEMA memes. It's funny 'cause it's true.

At the same time in our club: "can you please stop opening new half-year-life groups for weapons you don't even own yet? Also, why are you buying weapons you've no group for? CAN YOU PLEASE STICK TO ONE WEAPON FOR ONCE?!

For a million dollars you could have like ten Albion swords

[@undead8393]

I wish I could learn rapier where I live. The only school near me says on their website that they teach mainly longsword and only teach "niche" weapons after months of longsword lessons.

[@purplepurple8787]

Hey I WANTED to do rapier, shortsword and buckler but I didn't have the strength to carry a sword in just one arm 😭

[@arnijulian6241]

Cave pupil: Me want learn club. Bonk instructor: Smack him out flat! cave pupil: Many thanks:) sharpened stick instructor: pock em with da pointy end! Cave pupil: so that what it for? Sharpened stick cave pupil best an expert master swordsmen 3/4 times easy. Humans used spear/pointy stick for about 1/2 a million years as the primary battle weapon for a reason! If it can take down large game like boar, dear & larger it will have no problem with taking down a human.

How can i learn this martial art what do i need to google ?

[@AdelaideSwordAcademy]

HEMA or historical fencing :) where are you based?

[@alannatherson7721]

I know very little about how to use swords but I was under the impression the longsword is a decent starting weapon for when you first start learning so you can get basic fundamentals that transfer to other types of sword, was that incorrect?

[@AdelaideSwordAcademy]

it is. this is simply laughing at our community's fixation with the longsword.

[@alannatherson7721]

@@AdelaideSwordAcademy Ok, that you for clearing that up for me.

[@silverswordguy4191]

I mean, that's what I do running my school. However, the idea isn't so much that the longsword is the best for lending fundamentals as much as it is about the longsword being the easiest for me to teach in a large group. Once people get the hang of fundamentals with the group lessons, study of other weapons tends to branch out from there.

[@shirohige1318]

love it :D

[@Sk0lzky]

Yo where did you get this saber? I like the guard :v

[@turkeysamwich00]

Is there a specific name for those outfits?

[@MateKillFeed]

Ok, someone please tell me WHY the Coach is so against the Longsword?

[@daxasd3270]

I guess because the coach is bored out with longsword at this point, because there are so many other interesting weapons to fence with

[@anoakenstaff]

Because of this, probably: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5WwcmSwm9hgeM0

[@wwm84]

I'd hazard to say that longsword was the first area of HEMA that took off and was really the only thing for awhile, on top of it being a style that most people start with because, depending on who you ask, it's easier to learn than rapier or sword and shield. You have both hands on your weapon, giving you somewhat more control, and easier to distribute the weight, along with not having to worry about what your offhand is doing (usually).

[@NutsFromBerk_]

But the longsword Is bigger
