First step: To learn how to sword fight
Second step: find a pen that turns into a sword
my exact reasoning
same lol i'm literally the most unathletic person ever but for camp half blood i will sacrifice my own life (and kill kronos ofc)
You need to learn hand to hand defense, pen and pencil will only be a knife
@@raf1981 it’s a refrence...
Is this a Percy Jackson reference
anyone else here to learn some stuff to write a fight scene
Me
Hey-o!
jup
That's why I follow midevil fighting classes. I feel like that if you do it yourself, you can get better in your head of your characters. How does if feel to hold a sword ? It can also lead to new inspiration.
That's literally the reason I'm here
Can we appreciate this man teaching us sword skills for free
with all due respect. this is very very wrong technique and it will get u killed is all i will say.
@@marjiman_rtsit’s literally a basic attack… A half self aware opponent won’t let you hit them with this it’s supposed to be paired with other techniques
@@marjiman_rtsbro didn't read the title😂😂😂
Me: *Runs into the Nerf war with a sword* fools. When you were busy aiming and reloading I studied the blade.
This reminds me of the clone wars. . .
@@gabedupree9882 sadly, it's over. Season 7 just made it more painful for us fans.
@@LTRX_ Yeah, but it was seriously epic!
Ikr xD, but the thing is i use swords and machetes with it to.
Omg I only use a sword in need wars too
*Me trying to learn how to defend against my mom's slippers*
Edit: a year of training has passed. Tommorow, at dawn. I fight my mother. Mark my words. I will win this.
Edit: I lost. But this does not meet the end of me. I am now learning the ways of a long stick with a pointy edge, this might be my last update.
Burner gamez oh u need to be super Speed those slippers move faster the a worlds best boxing champion punch
Me too but i learnt it and take a stick instid of sword to protect my self but mom snatched it and beat me with stick and slippers
call of anime LMAO 😂
Alexander Ogden no dude that is reality if your an Asian 🤣🤣🤣
Came to replicate Kirito's moves from SAO so I can fight and impress my friends when we are using our class broomsticks as swords to mess around😂
I love this. I really wanna learn sword-fighting, I always have. I've looked for classes over the years but they're all fencing and such. I'm looking for stuff like this.
Thanks, great to hear that. If you are looking for a HEMA club this might help: hroarr.com/club-finder/
Söphie my college actually has a sword fighting class. It’s a tangent of stage combat. But it’s all with swords.
Try join kendo
same I'm also crazy for all this
true and same
MY CABBAGES!!!!
I LOVE Avatar the last Airbender and the cabbage man is my fav side character
I cried
Hand Sanitizer Attack how'd I know that someone would comment it, lmao
Hand Sanitizer Attack PERFECT 😂😂😂👌
Lol
time to become jon snow
Killing Tortilla lol
I cried
deadass came to this video right after watching GOT
Just came back forom watching season 8 lol
More like arthur dayne
Usable, well presented, and well explained. All round fantastic keep it up.
Thanks a lot!
You have no clue do you
Great video
they all even look like sword dudes.. Do I also need to grow beard to be able to master long sword? :)
not mandatory, but its sure helps... ;)
@@Dreynschlag is there a certain way to hold the sword and does anything change with different sword types.
Longswords were typically held like shown in our video. Other weapons like Messer, Rapier (different century) or large Bidenhänder (depending on the source) for example, were held and wielded differently.
saga kafa
Not if your a woman. But you do need to know how to braid your hair.
I wish there was a awesome sword fighting class like this in the USA :(
I’ve been wanting to be thought in the ways of medieval sword fighting for the longest time but all the ones I find around here don’t know what they are doing and or haven’t picked up one in this life and try to act like it’s normal. I have a zweihander I’ve been really wanting to brake into but have no idea how my form and strikes should be.
Videos help but it’s not the same as real learning from people like this
There are plenty of HEMA schools in the US, some of the best HEMA schools are located here.
Have you ever gone to a LARP event?
I wish I was in America
Learn HEMA!
me: I can do this!
Me 15 seconds later: where are my legs?
Who else training with a ruler because you don't have a sword?
At least a yard stick lol
Badminton racket hahah
A Rake
Back scratcher
I have a +2 flyswatter of the crushing blow! 😂😂😂
Everybody coming here to impress school friends after quarantine
Ayyyyyyyyyyyeeee
Don’t expose me lol
True
Ah Yes 😂😂
0:45: Hey, he brought guns to a sword fight! No fair!
hahaha, awesome comment! :) Gregor will be happy...
Yeah. Everybody knows that gun cant possibly deflect the blade! He will surely loose his head.
I'll just stick to using a bow and arrow...
I'll stick to glue
mememem memememem okiieee oliver queen😂
I'll just use my pen.
I'll use my words...😅
I use both.
So im assuming that if your left handed its just inverted?
exactly. right foot is in front, left hand below the guard, right hand to the pommel
Thanks.
like this comment if you want to learn how to sword fight
Time Teller have you learned yet?
Tbh, if you're literally just staring out, just start right handed.
Muscle memory doesn't really carry over that much, even from other weapons, and it makes things much easier in the long run.
Thanks for teaching me this basic attack, i recently made my own wooden 2 handed sword and i was really eager to learn how to use it, i will now proceed to subscribe to you and practice this move everyday, thank you
ah, i bought a sword two years ago (i mostly bought it cause it came with throwing knives, i learned how to use those) and now that we're still in quarantine i finally gonna do something with it. I always keep it next to my bed but never learned how to use it. Thanks for this!
It's interesting how techniques develop because they're effective, watching this and he does the slight sidestep when he comes in reminded me of doing just that in Halo 3 Energy sword fights, no one else did it and I was always the best but I never really thought of why, it was just something I did that I found to be effective!
It's good that you guys are posting tutorials on here starting with the most basic information. Not everyone is already familiar with sword techniques.
bloody hell you don't even see the sword in the last one that was cool
Top stuff, I'll be looking out for more of these videos. Well explained and clearly demonstrated, taking the most important steps into account. They are nice for beginners, but even the most experienced swordsman needs to regularly review the basics, so this series will/should definitely have a large audience.
Thanks for the lessons man! I just got a Scottish two-handed longsword and I really wanna git gud at using this thing! It's nice to find such short, to-the-point lessons that are easy to follow like this.
I’m just starting this hobby myself but with it being this time of year and bad weather and not being able to afford the proper equipment right now I’m practicing using wood swords (for stances), blade and sorcery (for fun and trying realistic fighting styles) and when the weather isn’t raining I’m using a machete in the garden with some plastic bottles etc. Since I’m only doing it at home and laws in the UK are awkward with swords I take what I can get but I like this channel because not many people go through the full basics for beginners and when they do they try to make it super fancy and over the top but I like this. Simple, effective and most importantly shows you all you need to know and the attack is on display so you can see it properly executed
This is great. As an amateur writer, I'm trying to practise writing sword fights, and this is pretty helpful. I've also wanted to learn sword-fighting, but I have no sword, so I'll have to make do with a stick from the garden until I can get a real one.
Thanks! My brother does Longsword and Sword and buckler in spain. He bought me a waister a few years ago and I've never been near a club. With the outbreak, all the gyms are closed now and nows the perfect time for in-home learning!
This is so interesting! To the point, carefully explained and with a great pace, thank you so much!
HEMA is the most fun martial art/sport there is.
From most fun to least fun (although least fun is still really fun): Rapier/sidesword and Dagger > Longsword > Backsword > saber > sword and shield/buckler IMO
Here we go, some practical knowledge for today!
Hey guys, I’m not near a hema club, and these videos are helping me to learn and practice with people in Martinsville Virginia!
Thank you, keep ‘em coming!
im a girl who wants to be a badass
Jo Jo the Magic Bean same here
Go for it!
Jorja Norris ME tOoooooOoo
same😂😂
Jorja Norris are you a badass yet
I broke the broom stick
Excelent teachings and techinques. Greetings from Portuguese HEMA students of Lichteneauer and Fiore dei Liberi.
Obrigado! And greetings from Vienna to you too
I'm so glad I found your channel as I got a training sword and have found that there is absolutely nowhere close to me that teaches swordmanship
This video helped me so much when I spar with my friends. :)
2:01 I can't see the blade
Yes, it's pretty fast. If you set the speed to 1/4 there's the blade (although it is hard to see anyway).
I can see a shadow-blade :D
I do see it but it's fast though
When You try to become anime main charectors.
I love swords now. I just bought a "Nodachi" sword as my first (broadsword used against cavalry) and i love it. Gives me a good workout too. I'll be using a sword during the tribulation , its the best way to fight demons , up close and personal. Coming soon to everyone. Good luck and see you on the other side.
For my story, this is required.
Thank you guys!
Dark Souls in real life tutorial part 1
nah, swordfighting is way easier! ;)
Amazing
Next demonstrate the R2 heavy attack please
*me learning how to kill the fly in my house*
Well impressive! I wanted to learn proper sword fighting techniques for years.
This helped me write my scene of my MC learning how to fight.
My first thought was basic attack, heavy attack, roll, and managing stamina. Too much RPG 😂
*me with a snapped off Master Sword hilt from an umbrella just wanting to learn some swordfighting*
Thanks for this tutorial video.
great video. the second cut, in which the cabbage remained on top of the stand was very impressive!
Thanks!
Pretty solid videos, I'm excited to see what else you guys produce.
Are you going to go through each attack and section in a book somebody could follow, or just keep doing a basic overview?
+ingni123456 We are planning a series of absolute basics for beginners, as in our opinion this is a somehow neglected area - you can find plenty of videos on special techniques or certain manuals, but not much fundamental stuff.
Kirito taught me everything already 😂
Julian Renardy really bro he is op
So true! He truly has some awesome moves!!!😏 😢
I've literally watched the fight scenes over and over till I got his moves down on point I'm a shut in so time was on my side
Tenho assistido estes vídeos novamente e tenho observado detalhes que vencem um combate,estes detalhes defitinitivamente determinam a vitória,excelentes vídeos,ótima instrução
Learning this so i can contend more effectively when sparring with HEMA practitioners (i trained in kali i love how they keep their distance when i try to get close)
Not that you probably care, but i needed this for writing a fantasy book, will add your names in the book as characters if you don't mind, i like easter eggs like that.
That's awesome! Glad we could help. :)
When will it be released?? What's the name??can you include my name too?? Please??!?!??!
I honestly want to learn just to see if half the medieval games are realistic
Just discovered your channel, and wow this is so cool. Wish I could learn irl but I don't have a sword
Thank you for the video i will definitely use this for the weekly lightsaber battles.
May the force be with you! :)
you know they care when the closed captions aren't auto-generated.
thank you so much, this video really helped me, and i write, so it's good to know how a scene would really play out!
I need that in my kitchen too^^
Awesome! Thanks very much for you effort...
Awesome. Thank you for this.
That T-Shirt xD
Learning this to hopefully become as good as an elf from LOTR.....probably not happening (:
With the elves in lotr, from what I can remember, a lot of it is dual wielding, and dussack/messer/saber fighting.
@@kalvinchester4068 And a lot of unnecessary spinning if memory serves.
@@davidkyo1985 that too.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the Mideval times by they're style and technology back then, it inspired me in wanting to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow, sword, and live in a Mideval House (with air conditioning sadly, because I do want electricity for connection to friends/family and for when guests arrive but I can't if it's over 80 degrees) this helps a lot and I wanna say Thank you.
KeEp YoUr StAnCe RiGhT
yUh
I'm watching this to know how to write a fight and also a training scene in my book
Scholagladitoria, shadiversity, and skallagrim (I probably butchered the spelling, but theyre close enough to show up) also have good videos for technique. As does Blood and Iron (a HEMA group based somewhere in Canada (Ontario? Not sure)
Ever since I watched MCD three years ago, I Ive always wanted to know how to sword fight. Even in class a year ago, there was a question about which era Id go to if I had the chance. I literally said midieval because I would love to know how to sword fight. Id just always liked the idea. Now that Im 14, my parents got me what was on my christmas list! A sword! (Tied in first with a grappling hook lol) It wasn't sharp, but I found this as an oppertunity to learn what I've always wanted to learn!
This saves many authors, dudes. Bless you.
You're welcome, glad you like it! :)
Learning sword fighting thanks to coronavirus quarentine
i want to be roronoa zoro when i grow up
Same. I will be the greatest swordsman in the world!
I wanna be erza scarlet lololol
But,but u are.It's clearly so as your name is Erza Scarlet
Zoro brought me here too hahaha.
im too
Nice video. Some Italian longsword schools would advise to always reach out with the sword first, before stepping in.
Hello Sir. Seriously I found a great master to learn sword moves. Sir I bow my head down to you and want to be your disciple🙏🙏🙏
I’m a child, hope this helps me.
I’m here to hone my lightsaber skills
May the force be with you! :)
You might check out kendo instead. Loghtsabre combat is based more on that than HEMA
Ty I needed this (writer energy) bro just saved my live
Thanks for this!
I'm here cause I wanna look cool with my star wars toys
Same
I created a special attack called "The Mountain" well it does nothing cause I made that up :/
great videos. Simple, Easy to Follow. I just wish I had someone to practice with. New SUB!
Thanks for your feedback. And for subscribing of course!
your food cutting skills are remarkable -----
What type of sword fighting is this? I really like this, first time trying sword fighting.
This is late medieval/renaissance German school of longsword fencing. Longsword or “im langen Schwert” in German means not the weapon (as longsword is a modern term) but a fighting style against unarmoured opponents (both hands on the grip). If you are fighting armoured opponents, you would use a style called halfswording or “im Halben Schwert” in German (one hand on the grip, one on the blade).
There are different schools like Italian or in our case the German: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_school_of_fencing
search HEMA
me too! Its so fun and I am improving in my brain and strength
I watch way too many anime and now I’m interested On how to sword fight this is how I got here anyone else
Sky no
Stahp
Anime??? You need to go back through the door you came from
lmao you watched Sword Art Online one time i bet
I came here from seeing Elizabeth from black butler book of Atlantic because I felt jealous from her XD
Learn different sword fighting techniques. We have come up with a basic sword fighting guide. Here are some important fighting techniques you can practice.
www.sharpimport.com/learn-sword-fighting-techniques-a-basic-guide
Impulsively bought a sword. I have no regrets. Finishing this series and I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse.
POV: you just watched a show/ movie and then searched this up
The 100
Yes yessss
Anyone here watching these to be a demon slayer corps?
I love it
My friend bought some foam swords and I'm listening to this right before I go over hehe
I came here because I'm a girl who wants to be a badass like Arya Stark
Leah Nyahunzvi so i'm not alone xd
Actually, more and more women are starting with hema every year. At our annual event in February where we host over 240 fencers from all over Europe. About 20 percent of them are approximately women. :)
You might look into smallsword and rapier, then. They are by no means easier or lighter weapons (I mean, of course they're lighter, but the positions are more extended and you only have one hand on the weapon, so they become quite heavy after a while) instead of longsword. She uses a smallsword, but from the scene I've seen with Briann of Tarth (sp?) Arya used it like a rapier (smallswords literally cannot cut)
anyone else gonna use this technique with a nerf sword in a nerf war
was thinking of a role of Game of Thrones but whatever
😂😂😂
solid demonstration and explanation.
My personal favourite is the "Wegrennen", The "running away".
Works fairly well if you have trained it well
Anyone doing this with a toy sword
Lego sword from Lego land 😂😂😂
Few things...
1. The guy standing as a mannequin for the attack has a good, relaxed Vom Tag. The guy actually demonstrating the cut has low, cocked, and mechanically inferior Vom Tag.
2. Cutting forward and taking a step - cool. Leaving your back foot at the same place and not even turning it is terrible biomechanics - you basically leave almost half of your body weight and intent behind.
3. Hitting at neck level is not basic. You should hit the head. It is clear that the guy is not well protected when his sword is so low - if the other guy actually hit him, not just place the sword there, he would most likely kill him with that strike.
4. Cutting cabbage doesn't actually show anything - you can do those cuts with a blunt sword with a rounded edge and not much effort.
Oh, get over yourself. This is a very basic demonstration that any beginner can use to learn from.
Hi! Short answer: yes. The sword starts the movement, your foot follows.
The long answer: Master Sigmund Ringeck wrote on that topic: „Darum so merck von welcher sÿtten du haust / dz du mitt dem selbigen fuß haw nachfolgest so magstu mitt sterck alle dein stuck gerecht trÿbeñ“.
That means in English (in my own words): "No matter from which side you attack, always follow the stroke with the same foot (here right Oberhau -> right foot). So you will perform your actions with full force."
Wow you really think you are the best, don't you?
Any video on the net there's always this guy who thinks he knows and can do better.
ahahhaha xD I laughed so hard when I read your post
I like this I was really curious about sword fighting styles (I've had enough of katanas) obsolete they may be they are still very fun to learn.
This video is LEGEND
I know this video is old but I wanted to say its my dream to one day be the greatest swordsman ever bit that's shooting a little high considering I don't have the money for pro training and a tight schedule but I'm working toward my dream
My name is Gryphon and I am looking for a mentor
Keep up your dreams, mate. And take a look here, maybe there is a hema Club close by :) www.hemaalliance.com/?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7uLS5rb7fAhWQL1AKHdwzBQMQ9QEwB3oECAEQAw
Is sword fighting the same as fencing?
Hi! To fence basically means to fight (not necessarily with a sword or any other weapon). So yes: sword fighting is fencing (too).
CutieMarkLessPony
Well fencing looks kinda stupid 😂 Long sword fighting however looks pretty cool
Harley lolol ok
Møther_øf_Drøgøns_ to be fair, fencing is the heavily modified version of the duel with a small sword for sport purposes.
In fencing, swords dont really clash
I must learn this.
Excellent mate
