You guys are just 24 minutes away from where I am! I’ve been practically begging to go to this center for a while but I never find the time to. You guys are open in about 7 hours from now so maybe I’ll stop by and say hello.

Some very good advise.

Really nicely presented and very generous in sharing the full lesson plan. Thank you for that. And you get a shout out for the original MTG lands framed in the background ;)

This course has not only been a pleasure to partcipate in, and having measurable knowledge check done in such a friendly, and welcoming way has been a rewarding feeling, thank you Lizz, and Ben!

The most beneficial thing for me practicing HEMA so far has been my karate experience. Being able to balance in deep stances has helped me tremendously in footwork.

Sounds fun. Learning to fall should be in mainstream gym classes.

Ah! I hope I can go visit you guys someday in a near future, you're the only place I know in a 10+ hour radius that teach armizare

How flexible were longswords? I have a Balaur Arms 15th Century Italian Longsword and I’m still getting used to the flexibility. It’s 5160 spring steel.

Isnt dat richard mardsen? the one with the gold skul?

Eventually I shall get your book. Would Polish Saber translate OK with a Shamshir?

Hi. What do you think about wooden sabres? Are they durable enough for a serious sparring?

You know what I think? I think people have always taught bullshit martial arts/self defense. Courses like the Col.'s (and does it explain where he got this rank of Col. since he was discharged from the Navy at around 17) were marketed to "Gentleman" fearful of the "Ruffian". Now considering how much manual labor took place in those days, these Ruffians were damn strong men AND they fought regularly as part of their lifestyles. Contrast that to the soft life of the Gentleman. Physically it's no contest! And these pathetic fighting techniques served to only enrich the good Col.'s bank account. They are not going to stop the Ruffian. Here's some modern day Ruffians, the good Col.'s methods will not work! ruclips.net/video/_0i2_XoiqNY/видео.html

Movement is very similar to George Minniss’s Eighth Division of his infantry sword exercise.

Do you recommend a bated blade or the standard practice blade?

You probably mean Neapolitan not Italian.

As a Polish l am surprised that gentelman from Arizona has such knowledge about nadziak my favorite polish military-civilian weapon. Last summer l bought steel Ciupaga (highlanders obuch). After sharpening its almost as deadly as nadziak and quite legal. Pasek is amazing when you read in original old polish language his stories are just hilarious. This guy was 200 % nobleman of that time he didn't care about the law as long as he carried the black sabre he was the law himself.

Tower of the swallow, anyone?

This is an absolute staple in my fight game and where I started building around it and learning more from it.

he can do nothing to you，u can just walk all over him with armour

Is there a new link to the PDF?

The Spanish circle school is with a dagger and Italian is more of a crouch

Woah this is kinda digging out some old stuff (the video) I wonder how XVI-XIX polish saber fencing ended up in Arizona? Regards from Poland.

my roommate got a polish practice sabre, and me an ax. =)

Waść machasz jak cepem :)

Oh so that's what Geralt did

readin up on the books before the show this friday :O

Hmm. Pdf link didn't have anything

Where can I get a groin protector like that one?

Fantastic! One of my favorite guards demonstrated by one of my favorite swordsmen! Richard Marsden is one of my HEMA heros, I hope I can learn from him someday!

Where did you get that buckler? With the forward flange?

the backdrop was unfortunate.

I have a question. I assume Kyle is on the right? What type of fencing mask is that. I like how it looks

With the current speed, he will be in Europe right in time for Swordfish.

The real victims are his arms after all that.

Good to see that Ben found you guys...and fit right in!

Wholesome homemade RUclips

F for Shane

In my interpretation the first strike is not an attac - rather a counter to an opponent's Oberhau. In a fashion of a Zornhau in longsword and than continue as described in the first play, if the Zornhau doesn't hit... In this way it's easier and more fluid to wind to your left than your strike had been displaced to your right by the opponent...

hey! I just saw this. We will try and make a video about our interpretation at Scolari Rafaela (hema group from Argentina) :)

Nicely done.

Makes sense.

I read the book but I do have to say, and I like this video and your interpretation a lot. But, I’m still not sure how we can say specifically that it’s a “polish” tradition or created by poles, if you meant that it basically originated in Poland. Because cross cut historically is clearly defined and mention, by Meyer in 1570. I would love to see some thoughts on the polishness of the cross cut

Hey not everyone's video or sound will be perfect but this was good video This can be confusing for new folks to try and learn while reading the text, and many really do not understand the history behind what you are doing unless they read the text or do some research on Col. Monstery, but this was way before JKD, and Bruce Lee. Thanks for the video.

I appreciate when people acknowledge that hema videos don’t ALWAYS have to be serious Love this haha

Good man.

Too bad this won't stop "rapiers can't cut" arguments.
