With this video I want to help to get rid of bad warm-ups which can be a time waste at best and an injury risk at worst. So, let's dive in!
The main points:
- Warm-Ups are important.
- A warm-up should prepare both physically and mentally for the specific activity.
- General warm-up exercises like jogging are not time-efficient or task-specific.
- Fitness & flexibility training should be separated from warm-ups.
- Design specific games or do light bouts for a more efficient warm-up.
- Short dynamic stretching and specific drills & games might be sufficient as well.
- Keep warm-ups fun, light, specific, and time-efficient.
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!
