Two sword spinning strike Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-12-08 | Spinning or turning attacks can be done while advancing, retreating or moving out of line. You can apply attacks like this with any type of weapon but it works best with two swords since you can go any direction and cover your back with the one as you strike with the other.
Hammergrip traverse strike Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-11-30 | The traversal strike with the short edge can be done with the hammergrip, you just have to get a little closer.Usually you do not have enough time to switch grip when things are moving fast.

Footwork drill Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-11-10 | In this drill the offensive student will close the distance and attack the defending student using the straight pace.Following up with a new attack, the offensive student moves out of line, starting with either a circular pace or a slope pace.After that, the offensive student keeps moving and creates distance to avoid the eventual afterstrike from the defending student.
Warscythe sparring Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-10-26 | In our club we celebrate something we call Grimtober by fencing with the scythe and/or sickle the entire month of October :)It´s a very fun tradition and we look forward to it every year!Here is some sparring footage with synthetic training tools.
Two spinning cuts with half a turn Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-09-29 | Here we are practicing the way of attacking the target while turning.
Sword throw Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-09-29 | Here we are practicing how to throw a longsword and an arming sword. The technique is the same but the balance is different.
Cutting exercise Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-07-04 | Cutting milk carton filled with water. Using a longsword and an armingsword.
Spinning strike vs Reversed strike Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-05-30 | We are discovering more and more the usefulness of the icepick grip, we intend to show more but we need to work it more before that. It requires a lot of training and dicipline to use the icepick grip with strength and safety in sparring with full force as we do here ^^
The dreaded icepick thrust Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-05-29 | Experimenting with reverse grip fencing is so much fun ^^
Sparring Exercise Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-05-29 | Nice two sword sparring exchanges during the sparring event we hold for the members at the end of every semester.Here Mattias is working on spinning advances as well as retreats while Fredrik is working on reverse grip parry/riposte actions with one sword.
Spinning advance/retreat Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-05-01 | Spinning strikes can be done in both advancements and retreats, straight forwards, backwards or to the side.It's especially effective with two swords since you can disrupt the opponent and/or cover yourself with the one sword while preparing the spinning strike with the other.
Thrust from the low ward Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-04-25 | Thrusting from the low ward with a full pace is difficult to plan out and execute properly due to the long motion, here I try two times, the first one is a miss but the second one is a hit.
Unarmed combat techniques in sparring Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-04-13 | Wrestling and pugilism is something that we also practice. Even in the fencing manuscript we study they put a lot of emphasis on securing the opponents weapon. It's also interesting to mix in unarmed fighting techniques with your fencing, your body can be a weapon too! :P
Attacking the attack Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-04-08 | Disrupting the opponents tempo is something all martial artists deal with, wether it is with weapons or without.In this example I deliver a sort of bindstrike edgeblow with the foresword to sabotage the opponents attack, after that I quickly follow up in the next motion.
Two sword feint Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-04-07 | This is a wonderful two sword feint, you can also build on the technique and add another feint if you think the opponent won't fall for it.The feet is the most important part here, you have to be good at moving out of line to ensure you have a safe way out.
Greetings from moderator Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2022-04-03 | Look mom, I'm on TV! ^^Jokes aside, I'll show up more often to break down what we do when train, in order to answer questions and be more clear.
Arming sword sparring Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2021-11-28 | Light sparring with arming swords (or sideswords).
Warscythe sparring Sjuhärads Fäktskola 2021-10-29 | This time with a synthetic training tool, we try different scythe techniques in a sparring environment, still very slow and easy, but with more intensity then shown before.We love this weapon, and we have a lot of fun when we fight with it :D
