Same Striking Method in Savate & La Canne for better fighting Oliver Janseps 2025-10-01 | Boxe Française (today often called Savate) was often trained together with La canne, the French way of fighting with sticks, canes and staffs. Because it was taught by the same master they used the same basics in stance, footwork, body mechanics and striking mechanics to develop power strikes for both their punches and their sticks. It's from a time old school boxers used gloves as well as they go bare knuckle. Today FMA or Filipino martial arts are named when it comes to stick fighting and it's often called a bonus that they use the stick fighting translated to boxing and fighting without weapons. But at least now you know it's not an unique selling point. This video covers the basics for learning how to strike properly with or without weapon.

HEMA drills for the Jägerstock or Partisan Oliver Janseps 2025-09-29 | A German exercise master named Matthias Schlüter wrote a book in 1674 containing different kinds of weapons like the pike, the musket and the sword.

Easy Spanish Destreza Footwork according to Heraud Oliver Janseps 2025-06-23 | HEMA fencers know much about Destreza of the 17th cent. but it was still alive in the 19th cent. and then the footwork of the rapier went straight into new methods for the sabre, bayonet rifle, and stick fighting. The footwork patterns are easy to follow and a good starting point for other HEMA sources on this topic. It is very different then the straight foreward movement we know from Italian and French fencing and still uses circular footwork.The demonstrated Spanish fencing footwork is taken from Don Antonio Heraud y Clavijo de soria: Manual de Esgrima.We will follow up videos for the palo bastone which uses this footwork and if you like also with some rapier and rapier & sail dagger.Don't miss the Vendrell-Shirt in our shop ;-)See some of our books and translations here:https://www.epubli.de/shop/autor/Oliver-Janseps/30604lulu.com/spotlight/oliverjansepsOr support us on Patreonpatreon.com/Fencyfriends0:00 Destreza1:27 Guardias ofensivas 1:43 Guardias defensivas1:55 Cuarteos2:16 Guardia españolas defensivas.2:33 Guardia española ofensiva o curva en el centro2:44 Marchas3:22 Variacion de linea3:42 Trasversales3:53 Trepidacion4:09 Trasplanto4:22 Los pies al centro o ganar el centroIf you want to join us, Mispeldorn is located in Aachen GermanyWe are one of the finest clubs for smallsword and sabre if you look for a different kind of weapon in HEMA.
