Sidesword - HEMA sparring - Luca Basile VS Enrico Tomasi

[@CCootauco]

That guy parrying with his hand is awesome as fuck.

[@NickRossi]

I speak to Luca often. He is very knowledgeable and a really nice guy.

[@saamfvg]

Indeed!

[@ochs-hema]

i love Luca

[@FedericoMalagutti]

Bellissimo spar!

[@GamerSlackZ]

i’m late, but i have one of these sword, and they’re pretty damn heavy

[@abrarsetiawan5587]

Tbh that's to be expected from learning one handed swords. The smallsword for exception

[@retrowave762]

i love enrico's fencing mask, im gonna have to find one

[@saamfvg]

He painted it himself!

Beautiful spar!!

[@biobomb93]

Per far capire alla gente cosa faccio uso sempre questo video

[@raphlvlogs271]

Matt Easton 1s said that the side sword was used just like a 1 handed longsword

[@tigroonicolas4991]

Beautiful ❤

[@justanothercomment4701]

Looking at this now, I'm seeing more Di Grassi than Saviolo. Looks like a fun bout

[@extradimensional8818]

Fantastic Skill..✌️🧐🇬🇧

[@krystofcisar469]

nice chill sparring! :) quite cool swords and skillset you have. I never really appreciated how nice sideswords are.

[@saamfvg]

They are very versatile!

[@pipebomber04]

Where is the part where they pull out their flintlock pistols?

[@saamfvg]

Why would they?

[@tristraman]

me encanta este deporte con espadas un saludo desde Perú

[@saamfvg]

👋🏻

[@lucamartinelli371]

Una bella finta ed appena allunga la mano per prenderti la spada.... spaaaam ...vedrai la tiene a posto poi 😂 dai, si fa pe ride, bello sparring.

[@saamfvg]

Eh, è un rischio concreto

[@unbengable2001]

This looks like a performance instead of real sparring.The sword fight normally ends in seconds

[@saamfvg]

This is a friendly spar, not a tournament bout

[@liuyu8868]

Just wondering where did you by these sideswords? really nice sparring

[@saamfvg]

Enrico is using a Danelli, don't know about Luca's, we'll ask ;)

[@saamfvg]

Luca's sword is a Danelli, too ;)

[@voron-tengu]

@@saamfvg Is it a nonstandard model? I can't find it in the catalogue.

[@saamfvg]

@@voron-tengu Yes, he told us it was custom made for him. If you'd like to more specs you can ask him directly via their site 1595dolomiti.it

[@edenbright2883]

And this is elegance

[@saamfvg]

They are very clean fencers indeed

[@evelynbagnasco7293]

Chiedo scusa Signori, non sapevo neppure che esistesse questo sport. La mía esperienza più prossima è il Kendo di 40 anni fa. Quando rinasco, aggiungo questo ai miei sport preferiti. A chi posso fare qualche domanda ?

[@saamfvg]

Ci sono molti gruppi e community su facebook e reddit pronti a rispondere a qualsiasi domanda, sia italiani che internazionali, basta cercare hema o historical fencing

[@gamundilorenzo8864]

nice "flow" ;-)

[@saamfvg]

Thanks!

[@xLazySlacker]

What gloves are you two using?

[@saamfvg]

Enrico's should be Fait d'armes, don't know about Luca's

[@raystargazer7468]

Cool'all but arent you supposed to try to kill the other guy?

[@saamfvg]

Not in sparring

[@raystargazer7468]

@@saamfvg what's the point of sparring then?

[@saamfvg]

@@raystargazer7468 work on movements, actions, techniques or just have fun with an "exchange of opinions", like in this specific video where the two fencers were sparring for the first time with each other. If we were to kill each other we'd all be in jail for manslaughter ;)

[@raystargazer7468]

@@saamfvg i mean to fight like if you wanted to kill the orher guy. Put some rubber or something on the blades and swing it to the other as if you wanted to murder him. With good armor and practice I think it is doable with minor injuries. Like, I understand why do it for fun, but if you want to recreate fighting, the most accurate is if it is swung the way it's meant to be. I wouldn't ask this with Jians for ex. while wearing a robe, where you might actually disembowel the other.. but with armor. You can serious.

[@raystargazer7468]

go*

[@gladius2489]

Still doesn’t look realistic. They’re not treating it as if each cut could be lethal.
