    Geralt's solo training from the camp scene. The footwork is much easier to perform on tatami mats, than uneven or soft ground, but it's doable.
    Be careful not to strain your wrists! Practice slowly until your hands are comfortable with the movements.
    PS. Big thanks for @Siegfried Song for cleaning up my audio - go check out his channel as he's an awesome metal singer!

      if u focus a bit, moves are simply predictable, every next sequence brings a huge hole between next move and its opening swordsman garda just like invitation to join and use that moment to enter . then if its not fast enough ur surly a dead man. but many moves of this combos u can use in fight to keep your energy rotate and stay low and focus. for me its a great lesson to connect and controll my mind through sword or.. the othet way round. :)

    • @cadethumann8605
      @cadethumann8605 Před 8 lety +11

      They are practical in several ways. In addition to warming up and getting a feel of the weapon, they can also intimidate others and lower their morale (maybe even have them give up before the fight starts proper). They can also be great exercise and good stress relievers with twirls that don't exhaust energy (whenever I twirl my sword when feeling tense, I feel slightly better). That and they are fun to do and watch.

    Stumbled upon these videos by accident and I'm loving it. Wouldn't mind some more authentic fighting tips, but the flourishes are cool to learn too. In this day and age I'd imagine they dominate anyway, since the aim isn't to kill but to impress/perform.

    good afternoon. Interested in the moment when the two diagonal cut performed. How justified is to remove the sword from the plane on which it is more convenient to continue the movement of the second punch in a combination of the two motions for eight? This stylistic requirement? Is it necessary to give up the transition of the two cuts at eight, doing too much on the backswing plane bending (trajectory behind back)?

I replaced it with a similar motion. tell me what the other scenes from the game you will consider?. I will learn in the final battle from the first part of the game.

    How do you spin the sword in your hand like that, it looks so cool. Do you have a video for it ?

    I really hope there will be more hema/real sword technique tutorials. Like the ones with the guards.

    even though i don't own a real longsword i love practicing these sort of moves with training equivalents, but does anyone know if moving your wrist that much could cause injuries?
