A quick and fun video why we need to pay attention on how to deliver effective attacks with the sword and how to prevent our opponents from delivering them to us.

P.S.: The solution clearly is to get into lightsaber combat as it solves all these problems in an instant. ;)

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!
