In this introductory lesson of our sidesword online course, Melissa and Martin from Schildwache Potsdam guide you through effective partner training. Learn the importance of viewing your training partner as an ally, not an opponent, and master the calibration exercise to ensure safe and effective practice. Discover how to provide constructive feedback, achieve the optimal success rate in drills, and prioritize safety while honing your fencing skills. Perfect for beginners and seasoned fencers alike, this video sets the foundation for a productive and injury-free training experience.
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!
