Military Sabre Sparring - Bernardo vs Rui

[@yourworstnightmare1488]

We see the master on the right with every move surgical and calculated to kill and the novice on the left hesitant to initiate contact , making a lot of unnecessary movements and getting confused after every engagement. I also presume the left one has a boxing background due to his head movement.

Without going into semantics Rui is the instructor yes, and also has 10 years more of British military sabre fencing than Bernardo who is better adapted at other swords and systems.

Seems like a unskilled - skilled match

[@EspadaNegra]

Bernardo is pretty skilled but with different weapons, sabre is still very much new to him, whereas I already have a decade of british military sabre fencing. - Rui

@@EspadaNegra Oh i see, hope Bernardo adapts quickly to sabre, it's pretty fascinating

[@BernasLL]

@@zerrrp Yep, you are very much right, saber has been a struggle, not that I do much of it. Pretty sure right after the video is cut off I say something along the lines of "man, I really suck at saber", ahah.

[@zerrrp]

@@BernasLL it's totally fine man, we all have our unique talents just because you can't master sabre doesn't mean you can't master everything else, keep trying i'm rooting for you :)

​@@zerrrpthat's awfully nice of you to say, cheers.
