Is No-Gear Fencing valid?!

Recently the discussion about the usefulness of no-gear fencing came up once again. Here is a metric to be aware of the risks we take while training with any kind of setup & an in my opinion sensible approach to training.

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
