In this very short video I quickly dive into why rashguards are a great quality of life improvement for any HEMA-fencer. If you happen to be from Europe, maybe 8Openings are an option, so one piece of advice: Get at least a size up or even two. I am on the verge of small / medium with shirts and I need an L.
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!

![Avoid HAND Snipes! - Workshop [ENG & GER]
In this workshop I show a few common errors that lead to hand hits with the longsword and how to avoid them. If you are a longtime follower of Matt Eastons Scholagladiatoria channel, you should recognize quite a few of these tips, but I tried my best to add new exercises and additional pointers. :)
This was recorded during the 1st Potsdamer Fechtschule, a monthly event for workshops, exchange, sparring and just having fun. Enjoy!
