The leaning forward helps control body weight in the foot position, what would be called in unarmed martial arts a back stance/reverse bow stance. this was a staple of Italian fencing going back to Capo Ferro to permit fast retreats and to allow you to shift your weight forward with a thrust/cut as a subtle way of increasing power/range or shift back to stay out of your opponents range. you're only leaning because it isn't the rigid, equal weight, straight back stance of French Duello/spot fence

I've been reading through Fabris, and it's been difficult for me to visualize how so many mutations, cavazione, and countercavazione happen in one tempo. Thank you so much for providing such a useful demonstration!

As a rookie fencer with sloppy blade work, it was good to see the slow motion replays to visually reinforce a key point for me personally . . . It is a point that has been discussed in practice numerous times but that I still fail to consistently follow . . . and that is the importance of gaining the mechanical advantage of having your forte take control of the opponent's foible.

Nevertheless I am able to apply some with my current skill in a free play. Each upgrade requires further training. If the opponent tries to do some feint and is in stretta, I will probably counter. If it would be in larga I will not attack until he moves his feet. I think all plays presented by Fabris are very functional. We just have to be skilled enough and we have to use weapons similar with their weight and proportions to original period weapons.

@TheWoodenKnight hello, getting the center of the body little bit backwards allows you to push your upper body forward as requested by Fabris. Without that your position would be unstable and you would be probably pulled forward.

Thank you. In connection to your question, honestly, no I am not able to use all techniques in free sparing. Reason is simple. I am not trained as well as giocatore from 17th century was. I am sure they had to be trained much more in tempo, misura as we are nowadays. They trained much more; therefore they were able to analyze the opponent and to react much better than we are.

Very nice. I especially liked the camera angles and slow motion to help show the action. I do have one small critique for you. I noticed that the gentleman in black usually brings his left hand fully back in a lunge, so that the end result looks closer to Capo Ferro than Fabris. Because of this, at 2:43 your dagger lost contact with your partner's sword, and it was free to strike as well. Again, that is a minor point. I liked the video and happily await more in the future. Cheers

RelativelyBest - interesting question. Who says that? Sport fencers? Yes, because their weapon is light that you can easily cover whole your body with light and fast parries. In rapier you are advised by Salvator Fabris to hold stance like this to minimize targets on your body and to "hide" behind you rapier. Then you need only small motions of the hand to cover. So, yes according to Fabris it is a good idea.

I don't practice Fabris, but I do practice Destreza which is a somewhat similar style (loosely speaking). I can tell you from experience that the style will definitely not work with foil or epee, because the blades are just too fast. By the time you can take a volte-style step, the foil guy has hit you six times. It's designed for rapiers, which are MUCH slower, and which actually require some commitment to do damage (as opposed to modern fencing weapons, which just need to touch).

I'm dedicating some time looking at Capo Ferro. But man does Fabris look like bull fighting. It's that thrust as you rotate/crouch/side-step to avoid the opponent's blade that's so fascinating to me as a style. And I agree with others, this vide captures that energy we want to see from a demonstration.

Beautiful! Serious stesso tempo. Brillaintly executed! Paul--you absolutely CAN use Stesso tempo in competition, but the opponent has to be really comitted to the attack. Don't worry about the stance so much, just get the parry and riposte in a single tempo. Ask your coach. Epeeists still do this frequently. As for the first stance, with hand drawn back, I do know how Fabris intended it, but to me it looks like an invitation--to get the opponent to get too close.

@iPood523 Hi, it would depend on if the match would be for the points gathering or if it would simulate real dangerous fight. In second case, I think it would be very effective  Also it is important to know what types of the weapons would be used (rapier/rapier, foil/foil, rapier/foil?). Each combination would change chances on both sides.

Of course you can cut with a rapier! The thing is that, being a one handed weapon and so large, it would be difficult to accomplish some feats, e.g. lascerating an oponents arm with one single cut. You can still do a lot of damage to joints, soft parts of the body (like the neck, where a rapier cut is still pretty much death), fingers, ears, legs, arms...etc.

Additionally back in the day where they did this to the death and they did not wear any armour, just google Renaissance fencing clothes. Hell, the manuscripts show them being naked! lol. So much for armour making you credible. It's about the content, not what you look like. This isn't Olympic fencing with uniform rules, it's life and death swordsmanship that was used regardless of uniform. Observe the technique. It would be like not taking a gun tutorial seriously because the guy isn't wearing an army or police outfit.

@mikefraley748 6 жыл бұрын
Salvator Fabris recommended this hand position because it restricts a line of attack to the head. If necessary the off-hand can be employed to intercept the blade (hopefully on the flat) and deflect it from the face. It is better to risk a little hurt to the hand than incur a known risk of skewering the brain.
