  • Traditional Cossack sword techniques, from the Kuban region of Russia. Still being widely taught and practiced by the Cossack people, both men and women, as an essential part of their culture. Name of the song is "Russian Host / Русская Рать".

      @@VoluspaAstrid I'm attempting to do a little research now, but without a little more information my resources are limited. What is the actual name for this tradition? Is it more native to Russia, Ukraine or both? How old is it and is this something that you've studied yourself? Thanks, Curtis.

    • @VoluspaAstrid
      @VoluspaAstrid  Před 4 lety +4

      @@curtis8559 It does not have a specific name, since it is seen by the Cossacs as part of their overall culture. It is like asking a Swede what is the actual name of eating food from plates and bowls tradition? And the separate specific name of drinking liquids from cups and bottles tradition? Or like asking Cossacs of what is the actual name of eating bread, specific tradition? There is no specific name, just for those preferences and actions alone. All are part of overall culture and how things are just done. Shooting is called marksmanship, riding horses is horsemanship and so on. Names that anyone doing the same would use.
      True Cossacs just must know and be prepared to do certain things in life. How to handle swords/sabers/firearms and grow up being ready to be a warrior, is an essential part of it.
      Those traditions are native to both Russia and Ukraine. The type of dress and overall appearance do differ, as do languages. But all are Cossacs and both even sing songs in each other languages, as part of their overall Cossack culture.
      I personally prefer firearms and practice target shooting. Handguns and sniper rifles are my true passion. There, I can say that I know how to use them well. I live and work in different countries during the year, so in some of them I can go to shooting range and use them there and in others I can legally own them and even conceal carry handguns with me on street and to work.
      As for swords, I would not be able to do any of those sword moves and would not even try, without a very long and dedicated training first.

      @@VoluspaAstrid I'm home now after a short vacation so I apologise for the late response. Thank you very much for such a detailed reply with such a great explanation. Personally I do have a passion for swordsmanship, everything from Olympic style fencing, Japanese swordsmanship and Philippine stick and dagger. So I was very interested in the information that you shared about the Cossack tradition. I also enjoy archery as well as both handgun and precision long range shooting. My preference is the 6.5 creedmoor round. In my state the law allows for concealed carry without requiring a permit. I am fortunate to live about 30 minutes drive from a shooting range that exceeds 914 meters as well as several indoor ranges near my home. Shooting is very popular here. I hope that you have a wonderful day and thanks again for your reply.

    Шашка -самое совершенное рубящее оружие созданное человеком ( соответственно шпага колющее ) . Они самые легкие по весу и самые быстрые , намного быстрее той же катаны . Даже тупая шашка легко снесёт кисть руки или раскроит череп . А фланкировка почти единственный способ управлять ей , её нельзя останавливать иначе отвалится рука , после удара шашкой описывали полный круг возвращая прежнюю позицию . Поэтому у настоящих боевых ,, волчков" была гладкая даже полированная руками рукоять с крюком и никаких ремней как у палаша или сабли . А самая сложная фланкировка была верхом , поскольку движение корпуса было ограничено ( максимум можно встать на стременах ) и надо было сохранить уши лошади и свою левую руку с поводом . Многие казачки ловко управлялись с винтовкой и шашкой , в среднеазиатском походе жена есаула была застрелена над телом мужа поскольку рубилась и зарубила двоих опытных нукеров переоценивших свои силы в погоне за трофеями
