At best I must thank..I am training for boxing,& as I realize fencing(the safer sword fight)is a early origional I am using yours & other catacombs to inspire my fight experience..I will get to doing this drill again-Shaderock said
I am incorporating your techniques into my S.C.A. training. Thank you...these are honestly the best longsword instructional vids on YouTube. Please keep making more, I need all the help I can get...Stay Blessed, Sir Everard Van Selden.
As a student of the sword in general, it's always good to see visual representation of what one sees reads about and sees in static pictures. I really enjoyed this. My one question is how you've come across/made that "compass" on the floor? Unless of course it's a trade secret?
Glad to hear it. Not a trade secret at all -- the concept is certainly not original (look at Thibault's magic circle for something more complex... and pretty...) -- we just needed something to give the viewer (you) an idea of how we were stepping in two dimensions. And because our movement model involves circling the opponent, a compass or "polar coordinate" representation makes more sense than a rectangular or "Cartesian coordinate" grid.
I am very impressed. I do mostly rapier fighting and heavy sword and sheild. My footwork is mostly based on classical fencing advance, retreats, crossovers and lunges. This gives me some new things to work on.
