Thanks. It's fun for me to watch our old videos

You're welcome. And I'm glad you're enjoying the music

Thanks for the support

Thanks. It's fun to look back at old footage like this and see how we've grown.

My mother is an amazing woman, and the mother of my children also deserves all the love she is given and more. I will never forget this. Thank you, and may your day also be wonderful.

They are a lot of fun.

You're welcome. It was good enough that my wife wanted me to save the recipe to use in the future. It's a quick, easy dish.

Our rapier alley bouts are the best

They're practicing their sneak skill, Renaissance-style

@@theholeyknight XD

And it's delicious for at least three steeps.

Pretty deep.

Yea. The Shorts format works best when the phone is vertical, but its better to film sparring with the phone horizontal. I'm still working on the best way to deal with that.

I thought it was apt, but I can see how Rammstein isn't everyone's cup of tea.

@@theholeyknight nah i love rammstein its just weird considering the lyrics

@@cantinadudes ahh, yes. That's why I didn't play more of the song.

Facts

You're welcome. There are three more coming

Do it. It can be fun. It tastes better than most restaurants and saves money.

Yea, Scooter is really good

Thank you. It was lucky I got the video of it. I only get small snapshots of our sparring

Thank you very much for the compliment. Life has intervened making it difficult to make more recently, but I hope to be able to in the near future

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion. I probably could fashion something crudely like a qaddare. And thanks for the correction on the type of dagger. I just did a quick Google search and chose one that looked the best. It's always good to know what I'm really posting though.

you're wellcome

I had the same thought while making this video. Especially some of the more clanky ones would be hilarious.

The group is called Irfan. The album is called Irfan. and the song is Monsalvato. I thought it worked well with all the Persian Wrestling that was occurring.

We have a lot of fun.

theholeyknight Indeed!

Yes, you do. Its a blast fencing people of different types.

It was hilarious when it happened.

Thanks for your interest. HEMA is a big part of my life and its nice to see others interests piqued. There are a number of clubs throughout the country. Each club has its own ways of getting started, but most of them have a beginners class to get peoples' feet wet. If you are in the Chicago area there is the Chicago Swordplay Guild in the Ravenswood neighborhood, you can check them out at chicagoswordplayguild.com HEMA alliance has a lot of great information on how to get started on their website, including a club finder. hemaalliance.com I hope you're able to find what you're looking for.

theholeyknight , thanks for the info, I do live in Chicago and have been looking at classes at forteza fitness, do you know anything about them?

I know all about them. The classes are 6 week (twice weekly Monday and Wednesday evenings) or 12 week (Saturday mornings) that teach the basics of longsword as described by Fiore dei Liberi. The classes are $125. We have a Knightly Arts track (longsword) and a Renaissance track (rapier). I'm not sure when the new class sessions start, but I can find out for you. Once you pass the class you'll be invited to join the guild and to start to take the Novice-level courses and hopefully continue on to higher levels. Once one reaches the level of Scholar (about 21 months to 2 years) they begin to learn spear, sidesword and more advanced longsword and dagger techniques. The fight you saw here was part of the extensive test for Free Scholar, which is one of the higher levels in the guild.

The next weekday session starts August 7th. The next weekend session starts sometime around September 23rd.

theholeyknight, thank you so much for all the help. I'm going into my freshmen year of college and once I get my class schedule I will hopefully be able to enroll. I was on the edge and you have swayed me. Once again thanks for the help.😀

awesome. Thank you

I love me some Megaherz.
