Having done Kendo for a long time and now HEMA Longsword I've seen that there is unsurprisingly quite a lot of cross over. Having spent so much time in Kendo doing techniques with a single cutting edge I still struggle to employ false edge techniques in longsword combat though.
@armynurseboy
@armynurseboy Жыл бұрын
to be honest, there is only so much "different' you can do with a bladed weapon. At the end of the day, techniques begin to look similar or have "cross over". What is cool is seeing the techniques as they would have been practiced in a real fight. Many sport fighting (ie Olympic fencing) and traditional arts (kendo) have lost the combative application. They're still beautiful to watch and require discipline and skill to do, but they wouldn't necessarily be useful in a real fight.

@spicketspaghet7773 Жыл бұрын
Using the false edge can be tricky. One use is that you can make the same cut essentially three time in one fluid motion. Additionally, in any lower guards you can strike the hands cutting into a higher guard. It's generally safe and doesn't have the commitment that going into Window or Ochs would, as would be required if you had to cut up with the true edge.

For what i´ve understood both European and Japanese swordmanship had pretty much all the same moves with slight variations depending on weapons and armor. Nowdays Kendo has lost many of the techniques after becoming a sport instead of tool to stay alive in a fight. I´ve heard that there is one over 100 years old video of a sword demonstration that includes some techniques that are nowdays forgotten in Kendo. We all have quite similar body structure and mechanics and so there are limited ways to fight effectively. As such all fighting disciplines tend to have the same moves even though local laws and other conditions might cause some variation.

Watch it again. He grabs his own sword's cutting edge, and tucks the other sword's cutting edge up under his armpit. Doing that with sharp swords and Japanese armor would get you sliced to pieces. That's a European technique that only works with thick European gauntlets, less-sharp European swords, and European armor that includes a full chainmail undershirt. It's a little disappointing when you realize the technique doesn't translate to the equipment.

Because it depends on club to club. HEMA is more relaxing and not as discipline. People come in and train because they want to swing sword at each other without the pressure from an uptight tradition. It's not very competitive so you can't really use those practitioners as comparison Now there are clubs that's heavily based on producing the best competitive fencers like akademia szermierzy in Poland or Martin Fabian's school in Slovakia. Now that, is what you should use as comparison materials. Compare the guys who train competitively, instead of comparing a guy who train 1 time per week with athletes who train 4 5 times per wee

@@jaketheasianguy3307 I don t really agree with that. First I m talking about the videos of HEMA we can watch on youtube for exemple. Be it the competition or some demonstrations, I always find the practitionners laking in terms of performance. I agree that most of them are probably not practicing on the same competitive level than this guy, but I think this "flawed practice" is also the byproduct of the rules of HEMA competition (wich is more about touching like in fencing an opponent that dealing a fatal blow). My opinion is that most HEMA amateur are still trying to understand the fundamentals of a swordfight, because they first and foremost got their teachings from books and theories. With time, maybe, they will get something more grounded and honed thanks experiences and practice. For exemple, despite their interesting theoritical knowledge, Skallagrim and Shadiversity doesn't demonstrate the same level of skill and understanding of a fight than this guy. And it s quite understandable because HEMA is a small niche, very new and their masters are just old texts that can't full transmit all the knowledge of what a fight actually is. But on the other hand, I completely agree that akademia szermierzy in Poland or Martin Fabian's school in Slovakia clearly understand how those techniques are supposed to work and it shows in their videos. They move well and their attacks look like real cut and thrust. In my opinion, those guys are the best references for european HEMA practice.

@@vhailor8734 You literally cannot say "HEMA is still trying to understand the fundamentals " when there are shit tons of high level practitioners like Martin, Olbrychski, Kuhotovic.... already figured things out a long time ago. This is not 2001. And no, people don't theorizing things from the get go. The first generation of HEMA players like Matt Easton already have heavy background from sport fencing, kendo and alot other martial arts involve weapons before diving into HEMA. They applied their knowledge to understand proper body mechanics for the old techniques and tactics. They're not unathletic bumps that just read old books. Skallagrim said he's not an experience fighters and he is open for criticism to get better. Shadiversity doesn't even do HEMA, he just like to play around with swords. Also, the guy in the video is also a HEMA practitioner who also like to use Katana.

@@jaketheasianguy3307 Yes I can. You are talking about guys that are the exceptions and you make a rule out of that. That is certainly not the case for most practitionners. At the moment, the vast majority of HEMA practicionners have more in common with Shad than those guys, meaning enthusiastic amateurs who wants to know more. The teachers vastly differs in their understanding of what is a true HEMA longsword practice, on how you actually use such a weapon to fight someone and how a longsword can incapacitate an ennemy. The competition's rules of longsword is a good hint on how they are still looking for. So yeah, they are excellent HEMA practicionners that gives it a good image and have a good understanding of swordfight. But so far, that is not this image that is conveyed by most of the HEMA clubs. And it is quite normal because a big part of learning is by having role model in your clubs. Or it is too new for it to have that and I m afraid the competition s rules will actually shape it into a sport like fencing at the end.

@@vhailor8734 It is not about east versus west or Kendo vs HEMA. The divide in skill lies mostly in competitive vs non competitive, the number of practitioners, the age of practioners when starting and the organizational structure behind it. If you train for a tournament, you train differently than if you just train for fun. This is independant of the sport. For example, in Germany, you have about 4.000 HEMA practitioners. A fraction of them trains competively and participates in tournaments. I would estimate number of olympic sports fencers here at around 25.000, whereas most of them train for tournaments. You can't just compare the top 100 HEMA fencers with the top 100 olympic fencers, because the player base is so different. The organizational levels behind the sport are also vastly different. In Kendo or Olympic sports fencing you have dedicated youth training and training camps. Most of the HEMA practitioners start as adults for legal reasons in mosts clubs and dedicated national training camps exist only for a couple of years in Germany. The scandinavian countries are more tournament focused in their HEMA with the Nordic league, but even there I assume much more olympic sports fencers. Olympic fencing and Kendo with tournament-centric approach make it easier to develop a narrower skill set on a higher level. If you want to be a good HEMA practitioner, you should be able to handle your weapon(s) (ideally more than one), you should have some wrestling skills for the close distance. And you should be able to read, understand and interpret the source material. Bonus points if you can read it in the orignal language. This part requires text understanding, knowledge of context and background of your source and reasoning skills. This is vastly more demanding than just being trained by a master. If you train in a master - student relationship, you learn to follow orders and instructions. If you train with more shallow hierarchies, you need to learn reasoning and to do a civilised discourse. Also, you should be able to handle a sharp blade in cutting tests. And if you are really good, you should be able to control your blade, so that you can fence with a sharp blade under limited conditions. Especially the last part is difficult for practitioners of competive sports, because they have practiced for years to hit fast and maybe hard. By its very nature, if you have someone train in sports fencing and in HEMA, and both have the same amount of time with equally good instructors, the sports fencer will have a much more focused skill set, where he is probably more proficient than the wider skill set of the HEMA practitioner.

2:50 - the upward slice: remember that western swords are double edged, unlike Asian swords which are single edged. A westerner does not need to turn the wrist. This also offers more diversity in the twist strikes demonstrated at the beginning.
