Firstly, let me say your content is really interesting. Makes a nice change to learn about European weapons and fighting systems. Not sure about the grabbing part of this system though. I've studied a few martial arts in my time and I've always found that grabbing a person's arm or wrist in an all out fight is all but impossible unless the opponent leaves it out there for some reason. I imagine that it would pretty hard to do with your opponents arm flailing around in a life and death battle.
@SpiritualHypertrophy3 жыл бұрын
In my experience, wrist/arm grabs are more reliable with weapons than without. Their hand has to be out there to cut and if you maintain blade contact you can feel where it’s going to be.

These are very interesting techniques. a lot more grappling than I usually think of in 19th century swordsmanship. Though I suppose if you have a free hand, and the opponent has the advantage of a shield, might as well use it!

What is passing footwork? I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to sword fighting and I'm just curious about what the phrase means, I'd appreciate any answers :-)
@Dreynschlag3 жыл бұрын
Hi! A passing step is a step forwards (or backwards) with your feet passing one another. So if you are standing with your left foot in front and you take a step forwards with your right foot, that's a passing step.
@sirseigan3 жыл бұрын
Much of the footwork, distance, angles and grips are quite similar to Japanese old bujutsu schools. Particularly is it similar to some "shotô" (short sword/large knife) techniques, but also some "Daitô" (longer sword) techniques at closer distances (then used with one hand). The same "openings" are also used in Jô or Hanbô (staffs that are about 90-120cm/3-4') where you often grip and strike or grip and use the staff as a lever in a lock. These techniques have also often equvalent unarmed techniqus. I have done numerous variants of parry (or receive) the incomming attack, break the attckers balance by a outwards lock/twist of the arm and then move in with an attack to face/neck or ribbs/solar (depending the next step) on the inside, and then often (but not always) end with a take-down (twist, offbalance or throw) and finnish on the ground (punch, drop knee, stomp, stab pr control). Imagien the parry, twist wrist outward, pommel to the head technique but instead of ending it with that do a outside hook/sweep on the attackers front leg triping them backwards and then use the sword edge to cut the side of the neck on the way down (neck sirt os sliding along the edge) and end it with a stab when the attacker are on the ground - just as an example.

In the demonstrations, the person with the British military saber starts out with his left hand on his hip. If he's going to use his left hand to grapple, wouldn't it be better for him to keep his left hand in front of his body?
@koreanjesus61943 жыл бұрын
@Kshitij Raj How? If you’re going to use your hand to grapple, you’re always going to have a chance of getting that hand chopped off, so why not just keep your hand in front of your body to begin with to make it easier to grapple?
@koreanjesus61943 жыл бұрын
@Kshitij Raj I don’t think you understand what I meant by putting the left hand in front of the body. I meant that you put your left hand close to the body (like you’re doing a southpaw boxing stance but with a sword in your right hand) and not that you extend your left arm forwards (like a zombie). If you keep your left hand close to the body, I don’t think you’re endangering that hand since most hits to that hand would have hit the body anyways, and it should make it easier to grapple

The person with the talwar and dall do not much or anything with his shield and then wait to let the one with the saber make his demonstration. I would realy like to see a dual, between someone using one system and an other using the other. You will see that the Indian system works better . The supremacy of the British on the batelfield is due to discipline , fire power and maybe highet density of soldier using bayonet compared with the swordmen who need more space to use talwar but in one to one combat I am sure the one using the talwar and dall would have winn most of the time. But please let us se a dual between the two well versed in the system they use.

Isn't your opponent bit lazy with his/her buckler? Wasn't it used also offensively?
@dizzt193 жыл бұрын
Honestly, most demonstrations I've seen have this problem - one person performs more actions than the other - success depends on the opponent failing to react appropriately and fast enough. On the other hand, you could end up with an endless flowchart of actions, an infinite stalemate. I suspect it’s easier to teach someone “A, B, then C - fight over”, especially because people DO make stupid mistakes. It doesn't stop me from cringing “if you’re going to carry a buckler, fucking use it!” x)
@manfallsoffchair3 жыл бұрын
This isn't a presentation on how to fight with a buckler, this is a presentation on a specific set of detailed techniques from a specific historical source, and at no point does the line "and then your opponent hits you in the face with his buckler" appear in said source. In other words, the actions are clearly performed as detailed in the source, and no more. You probably missed the bit where the presenter implied that he finds these techniques somewhat imperfect.
