Solo Practice -- Defensive Moulinets!

[@JohnSmith-pv2qc]

I wondered why this looked familiar. I bought your hussar saber book.

[@matthewwilliams5407]

Key concept I got from this was to keep guard at eye level. The sweep/scoop demonstration is really helpful as well. Definitely will apply this lesson with my Scottish broadsword training; thank you!

[@PBoneSteak]

I do get very frustrated that a lot of tournaments don't register the false edge that many, MANY sabers have. You do make a good case for why it happens, though, and I can't really help but understand (judging makes me a nervous wreck). I looooove these binds. I've been working with a few of my saber friends, and we're been making concerted efforts to not just cut around, but seek out a bind and work from there. A lot of them are way better at it than I am. XD I think we'll try to incorporate some of these into our drills!

That history IS complicated. Practically Byzantine. BOOM!

3:25 Is this the story about Italo Santelli training the Hungarian shopkeeper?

[@HobieH3]

Stoll LOL at the start

[@nickbonk2569]

What about a moulinet into a thrust?

[@russmitchellmovement]

As an *offensive* moulinet, yes.

[@GiantAtomicLizard]

Drop ceilings are the worst!

I would not cross the line of attack, there is always the possibility of its tough continuation in the same spirit. As for him, I would keep my weapon pointed at the enemy all the time, even when the weapon was spinning.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

This is saber fencing, keeping the point at all time is bs advice usually coming from thrust only fencers, because you literally have to pull the point back at some point to execute a cut. Or else it's tippy tap nonsense

[@vovanussi]

@@jaketheasianguy3307 in order to make an injection, it is enough to step forward, you do not need to take the weapon back. there is a time for chopping, there is a time for injection. I understand the desire to swing harder and take the weapon as far away from myself as possible, but there is always an opportunity to step into a place where there are no enemy weapons

[@russmitchellmovement]

With respect sir, you are mistaking a drill for the purpose of improving mechanics, what the formal coaches would call improving action capacity, with tactical advice in the bout. They are separate creatures for separate things.

[@vovanussi]

​@@russmitchellmovement my video talks about improving the mechanics. I showed you how to give an injection by taking a step and not bending your arm. I always try to get closer to my opponent if he makes room for me. therefore, the weapon is always aimed at the enemy, all the time threatening him with an attack and not allowing him to approach.
