Been wanting to learn how to use the fancy, oversized needle looking down over the rest of my weapon collection for a while now. Haven't found rapier guides that were this geared towards beginners and were also focused on breaking down historical manuals, as opposed to strictly being within the framework of modern olympic fencing, elsewhere. I know I'm late, but you're still awesome Mr. Fabian; you've got yourself another sub!

I'm a Kali, Escrima Arnis practitioner and I came here because of the martial arts I practice have similarity with spanish fencing. Some techniques even the slashes of the rapier is really similar to Kali. Not just that, there's some said our martial arts in Philippines have spanish fencing influence because after we learn fencing from spaniards we incorporate it with our native fighting art that created the Filipino martial arts we know today.

Mato, snad mas moznost porovnat a poradit - chcel by som skusit Meyerov rapir, akurat on svoj mec drzi este klasicky s palcovou kontrolou a nema ukazovak nad prieckou ako pri neskorsom talianskom rapirovom serme, na ktory som zvyknuty. Myslis, ze by sa dal Meyer odsermovat s modernejsim uchopom s ukazovakom nad prieckou alebo si mam zhanat novy mec, nech to mozem drzat ako on vyzaduje? Diky ;)

Excute me sir, but one of the aplications made me very confused! Using hand to parry a rapier attack looks senseless, since rapiers can also cut very well. Plus, doing that counts as a point to the opponent in a HEMA fight. In RL you could have your hand sliced. Btw, I see that you are from Slovakia. I visited your country November last year, it was the best I visited in European Union, people looks very hospitable.

Almost every historical book on rapier teaches parries or redirections with using the off hand - for thrusts of course. It's not something I made up. Thanks and have a nice day

All seems very logic! ^^ Except moves. I saw that prob myself and constat you have the same: motion isn't effective at all ! Look at you! 2:40 This step is not good! And I'm working on mine too try to fix it... I explain : all this is good for an oponent who don't move aside. It doesn't mean he is untouchable because he moves, but it so embarassing ! make things kindof ridiculously long (when you are two same-level). All this prob ... I call it the "dash-mistery" : 'cause it looks like you need a boost jump to make THE good stepping (Gerlat of Rivia is worst about it, he is un-imitable) 2:45 Here : no prob, the range is perfect. 2:36 But heeeere.... First.. I think you don't do it fine 'cause he just need to move a bit to reach your head while you're stepping BEFORE you could touch him Look at the blade of the attacker carefully ; Now you see that the black one can even deviate the blade from the vital point (what he would do if it was the purpose) 2:41 But here is the worst. Definitely

@MartinFabian7 жыл бұрын
Hi Eric, thanks for the comments! I think you're right when you suggest there are some drawbacks or issues with certain demonstrations. But I think they are unavoidable from the very essence of these techniques - let me be more clear. 1. A feint is very hard to demonstrate in general. Every opponent reacts to you differently so in order to feint you can generally do a lot of things 2. Since I've decided to go more or less by the book, Fabris suggests to feint in this manner 3. I'm showing examples of assaults. They are mostly exercises which teach you a few specific principles. Furthermore these exercises are also from the part of the book which is about general principles and basic techniques 4. I've seen and was able to perform feints in similar manner and in similar distances (not only of course) 5. If my partner wanted he could basically hit me anytime. it's a controlled exercise and both of us know what we're going to do :)
