It's was a great time, my pleasure to have you here. You're more than welcome to come back anytime in the future!

[@superiorhema]

Thank you so much!!

0:51, i think this might be the first time i've seen an absetzen from the left being done in the wild, very nice!

[@superiorhema]

Oh thanks, ya there not too common. Usually I only get it as a second action. When I have a longer handle it definitely makes me more confident going for it.

[@frenchgalloglass]

Very good fencing, with a huge variety of techniques. That's pleasant to see, keep it up !

[@jasonjames9836]

Great bout footage and a beautiful backdrop for fencing.

[@petritzky]

@@superiorhema I'm training from the Maritimes, I'm currently training with my friends. Hema is a hobby which I enjoy!

[@superiorhema]

@@Josephiustheswordguy Ok, no HEMA club by you?

[@Josephiustheswordguy]

@@superiorhema There is! But currently, I'm being taught by someone who trains from out west in Vancouver, currently living in the Maritimes. We're going to train in the summer time for Longsword. Both German and Italian sources.

How much of a language barrier did you face? Or was the sprechfenster a perfect lingua franca?

[@superiorhema]

Maybe a third of each group would speak enough English to have actual conversations. So often a lot still had to get translated.
