  Great video, thrusting is such and under valued piece of the KdF system. I especially like that you mentioned off line movement, I think that is a detail many fencers miss. Thanks for sharing some solid content on it.

  Lol, well most sources do say cut 7 as well. But in Rowarth he doesn't actually list it, he mentions there's a cut 7 but it's too easy to defend and recommends to not use it. I also mainly do medieval fencing where its diagonal downwards as well. Even if it's close to vertical I always have a bit of a diagonal lean, that allows it to connect to your body, and you don't have to stop the cut from hitting the ground. You can just flow the cut left or right, and have opposition against a sword.

  Thats the eternal question. But i think there are too many caveats to it. Time frame. Body type. The weapon you have at hand. Most trained ppl would crush an untrained person no matter what. Self defense, or duel… As much as i am attracted to the meyer, and marozzo style…. Fiore feels better to me. I try and steal some from everyone…. But i am just a nobody, who did 10 years of jiujitsu and i train myself in fencing for fun.

  Thanks! Well in my Fiore series intro I mention it a little. KDF has hundreds of sources that the practitioner has access too. Whereas Fiore is essentially just 1. (4 italian copies + Blumes des kampfes.) So KDF is more open source feeling, theres nothing you can do with a sword that you can't find in a Liechtenauer connected source. Fiore is like getting a source of someone's preferred things. So it's a lot less techniques and less choices. Which might be nice, learn these 2 things instead of deciding from these 40 things for a given problem. But for me, I need my thwart cuts, so I'm a zettel fencer absolutely

  @superiorhema16 күн бұрын

  ​@@sandozman6085 Ya especially as an individual you're going to want to try everything and keep what works. But what I've found for teaching it can be an issue adding mental friction if students have too many choices. Because in fencing the choice generally has to be muscle memory and done instantaneously, or the opening is gone. So it's been a bit of choice what to drill etc, In BJJ it can be slowed and you can work new choices a bit easier. The mental friction doesn't have to bog you down as much. For example in olympic fencing it makes it really easy to teach, especially foil, because they're is a right or wrong with each choice. And you can make complex drills that really work stuff, because the best choice has been found already and you need to do it if you want to win. Doing something else will probably be less effective and reduce your success. (there are still times where you can choose from a few things.)

  Interesting note: Try this with both fencers using feders in the 90 to 94cm blade range, instead of the 95-100's most feders are. It gives the fight a much different feel and many of the guards and techniques.

  @Ennjoying19 күн бұрын

  I really appreciate your channel and find that your reviews about equipment are especially useful. I would love to see a video from you about possible differences in feders and for what preferences they are useful. Im currently considering my first feder to either be a standard or custom regenyei, and with the custom one there are a lot of questions. I believe this could also be very useful for more experienced people since i am fairly new to the sport. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. First of all is it even sensible to get a custom one as a first feder? If i would choose a custom one what should i watch out for? Currently i believe the right length of blade and hilt as well as the weight distribution or point of balance is important. What kind of blade length should you choose? I read in a blog that shorter blades make certain techniques easier. Longer blades obviously give you more range. What about the hilt? i read about 3 hand widths so you could properly hold it with gloves. In another video you said a heavy pommel is preferable, however when the point of balance is below the schilt the sword swings itself easier. So what are the benefits for a "low" point of balance below the schilt or something as "high" as just below the crossguard and do feders like that even exist? I ask this in particular because with a custom regenyei you have a few options to alter the weight. A thin or thick schilt, a winged or forged crossguard and pommel which look like iron and could be heaver. Lastly what about the grip shape and cover? cord, leather, wired leather. Have you noticed any differences in grip strength for different materials or is this just a cosmetic choice?

• 
  @superiorhema17 күн бұрын

  Ya it's one of those things where, until you've used enough feders for a while, you won't really know what you want or don't want. Because all tournament level standard feders feel so similar you won't notice much until you've really used them. As I got better at thrusting I wanted more flexible feders so I didn't have to hold back. So you can't go wrong with a standard Medium blade Regenyei. And any custom stuff on it shouldn't negatively affect it. Thats a good first feder. Added crossguard and pommel on it are fine. For blade length you want the standard length. 100cm. You can get shorter ones later for practice. But if you want to compete go with standard. Grip lengths will be around 30cm. in general longer is more competitive and allows more positions to be used. Any standard sword maker will have tested whats acceptable. POB will be anywhere from 5 - 10cm. That mainly affects how fast the tip moves, and how light the tip feels. But POB can be "light" (5cm) and if the sword feels heavy and doesn't have much taper it might still be too slow. But again any standard feder will all be in the same ball park. Heavy pommel is dependent on sword. It just needs to make the sword feel balanced. As you use swords you can sometimes feel that you'd prefer a lighter or heavier one on it. I prefer grips to not get too thin. So some waisted grips haven't felt good with gloves. Generally just the standard oval feels best with gloves. Bare hands can usually be fine with anything. I like cord wrap the best. But anything is ok, it's gonna get hit and be taped at somepoint anyway. The biggest factor is you, your shoulder width, glove size, height, weight etc. People with bodies on the extremes need to try more swords. But if your an average man, 5'9", 180lbs, you can generally use any sword. And then the main choice is just how much do you want to spend.

  I'd be interested to tabulate the rate of success for the fleche attacks in a ruleset that allows ringen.

• 
  @superiorhemaАй бұрын

  Well... the hit happens before anything else. So the only ruleset that could have a potential change is continuous fencing. It's still the main way I thrust in any ruleset, I train follow ups, and can do anything afterwards. And if you have a good fleche (leaning pass) then you're only using it when you know you can hit. So my success rate is higher than most other things. Because I only fleche when I'm confident I'll hit. Where as my passing step, advance, and lunge all have a far lower success rate, because I can send them whenever. Probably 90% of my fleches hit or lead to my hit. Where as, out of every attack I've made with a pass, it's probably like 15% have actually landed. In this tournament I only had 3 fleches that had a successful parry riposte against me.

•

• 
  @WolvesdenhistoricalfencingАй бұрын

  Fleche works better in tournaments with grappling. The rapier and smallsword texts show the Flèche or full pass as it's called to end in a grapple. In an ideal world you run them through with opposition and then trip or throw at the end.

• 
  @petritzkyАй бұрын

  Very nice video. The fleche is so important to understand, because beeing able to fleche means you know your body and the biomechanics behind it really well. It opens a large array of possibilitys for fencing. Combining it with a Zwerch isn't something I thought about so far. I should try that.

• 
  @superiorhemaАй бұрын

  Ya for sure, it also means you know the distance and body length pretty well. Cause you can look foolish if you fleche out of distance, should generally only be done when you know it's going to land. Ya because the zwer is short some people don't assume it will land when they see those hands prepare. So I land the direct hit instead. Also great vid about the "Don't parry" lol. Made me laugh pretty hard, watched it a bunch. I've been teaching a lot more about "right of way" and "priority", so people understand vor and nach better. So it connected really well.

  awesome journey, very impressed by that sword flow, you're a lord for sharing this story and the humble beginnings that this type of hobby had to grow from. After doing 8 months of historical fencing myself, I will only add that I think home-built or spes foam padded training swords is a great idea. Very safe and saves you a lot of money both in terms of the weapon itself and the gear requirements. Once you can save up for more gear and steel practice swords, they're still useful either to lend out, to do low-gear exercises, great in hot weather. You can use ballasts to achieve desired handling characteristics too.
