Sidesword freeplay May09

Some light freeplay with Brian Hunt plastic arming sword wasters. This came after working with Meyer's Rappier (which is very much cut-and-thrust/sidesword as opposed to later Cappo-Ferro type rapier play), so it's sort of sidesword freeplay. Sort of...

no bad but you should try half cuts and not so many full cuts

also you should get a siidesword that has all the quillians :D

@ShadowUMP Using a side sword *at all* would be a good start! These are arming sword wasters we were just playing with in the absence of better equipment. Good point on the half-cuts.

thanks for posting this video! it's kinda hard to find vids of actual sidesword art.

[DerAltenFechter]

Well, I'm not sure you've found it here, but we sure were trying!

I expect we'll do more this summer. I'll post it here when we do.

Thanks for the kudos, guys. Side sword is really only something we were goofing off with for a few weeks. I hope to get some grappling and longsword up soon.

@DerAltenFechter also try to stay in guard not half way in between one

[ShadowUMP]

@DerAltenFechter hmmm

maybe post a video with a side arm as well (ex. dagger, buckler, cape, maybe even another sidesword. )

:D

Good stuff, here! I really like the movement.

Very nice guys. A totally under represented fencing art here at the YT. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers
