_Pretty_ [citation needed] given the amount of outright legend around the guy and the usual embellishments over the centuries. The timeline on Wikipedia lists some 13 and that's _incuding_ the ones where the actual historical existence of the opponent is a matter of some contention like Sasaki Kojirō and Shishido... Also for the record not all fought with swords, nor were all the duels mortal - the _musha shugyō_ would not have been a terribly viable tradition in general had that been the rule.

Most duels weren't to the death, although many combatants died, even "winners." That's another thing I liked. Even if you win, you're in danger of opponents that are willing to go for double kills.

She fights with (and represents) Destreza - the Spanish form of Rapier fencing. It's focused on maintaining an upright, hard to approach posture and making as little swings/lunges as possible, with the idea being that the opponent will basically have to walk into your sword just to get you. When done correctly it's one of the most satisfyingly "effortless" styles out there.

In Japanese swordsmanship, kendo, they have this concept called as direct line alignment, basically means the shortest and fastest to strike is a straight line (direct straight hit). This character truly demonstrates the concept of direct line alignment and distance control, amazing.

@broadbandislife

Ай бұрын

Well, rapier styles in general tended to keep the weapon towards the enemy to make full use of its length and control the engagement distance. The particular variety she uses is the Spanish _La Verdadera Destreza,_ "the true skill/art" so named because its creator wanted to draw a distinction to what he called the "common" or "vulgar" styles being taught at the time, which REALLY leaned hard into that aspect. Also had the interesting quirk that its creator drew heavily on Classical geometry and Humanist learning for philosophy and inspiration and tried to apply a fair bit of mathematics to optimise the stances and movements. Which was bluntly put a bit of a pretentious affectation only too typical of the era with its raging hard-in for Antiquity but eh, it worked well enough. 🤷

Marta has killer sidestep into thrust attack moves. She clears a lot of distance very fast with her sidesteps, so it's easy to get in the enemy's blindspot and stab them in the armpit/back or depending on the style, an unguarded front, stabbing the chest/belly.

Almost as fatal, as making the wrong move at the wrong time leaving you open for an followup attack by an enemy.

@@TC-xh5wp That kind of bragadaccio was actually routine. Pretty much _every_ olden-time fighting treatise I've parsed, the author boldly proclaimed HIS particular take on combat with this-or-that weapon was nothing short of the foundation of all fighting skills or something similar. It's mostly just the usual warrior chest-beating and more banally _marketing spiel._ Lest we forget these were almost to a man _professional combat instructors_ who made their living teaching their stuff and usually wanted to leave a living tradition behind, as people are wont. They had every possible incentive to oversell their arts in their writings - and this goes for their peers elsewhere too obviously. Many of the claims Miyamoto Musashi makes in his writings need to be taken with due grains of salt for the same reasons for ex. As an aside the "foundation of all fighting" blather isn't complete BS as such under all the wanton hype. Human biomechanics and basic physics are the universal constants regardless of the weapon, so the same fundamental stances and movements and principles keep reoccurring almost independent of context - if you parse illustrated treatises on say Late Medieval longsword and _kenjutsu_ you're going to see a whole lot of the same foundationals. Lots of overlap between two-handed swords and polearms too for same reasons. (The European civilian pokey-sword tradition had some to my knowledge fairly unique stuff simply because no direct analogues to the rapier and smallsword evolved elsewhere.)

It seems to me that if you're teaching, or developing a style that's being used in life or death battles, you should focus your style on how to kill the quickest.
