Most of the competition vids we have up show Angelo's style, which is more linear. Page's style, which we also practice, involves more circling. Circling can be used to control the space (what boxers call "ring control") in order to put the opponent in a bad position, or to get a sudden angle change for an attack, or to close in by degrees. Other than that, circling serves no tactical purpose, as the fencer being circled can always turn slightly and restore the straight line.

Nice work. I have a question about your broadsword competitions. I noticed that none of the participants use any footwork other than moving forward or back. With other historical fencing matches that I've seen, they attempt to circle and use angles. Is this not part of broadsword matches?

No problem, please don't worry about it. And thank you. :)

Yes you are right it is two handed. I sure understand about having to replace them. By the way I thought you're techinique was quite good. I also wish to apoligize. I knew they were two different weapons. One of those momentary brain checked out things.

Hello, Like your drills. By the way what was the song if I may ask? I really liked it.
Thank you,

It's from "The Gaelic Album" by Runrig.

Hello. Thank you. Do you think I would be able to practice Angelo's drill with a cavalry sabre? thank you.

Yes, it was taught that way by Angelo himself, even though it was designed for the broadsword.

@gilbride100 How did Angelo himself teach you that way if he published the lessons in 1798AD? Just curious.

@perplexitypeccable Is this a serious question? I didn't say he taught me anything in person, what I said was that he taught how to use this system with a cavalry sabre, which you can see by looking at his manual.
