Facebook Google+ LinkedIn Tumblr As a professional educator as well as a long-time amateur martial arts instructor, one of the issues that fascinates me about the historical fighting manuscripts is their approach to teaching. Broadly speaking, there are two types of texts: a) “Reference” texts which attempt to preserve a system of fighting b) “Teaching” …

Petit drill à la rapière de Meyer ! ;)
A drill for Meyer’s rapier. In case you want to learn more about it I suggest checking out the Joachim Meyer wiktenauer page, as well as the printed version of his work, the Joachim Meyer's Rappier HEMA group and this youtube playlist on Meyer’s rapier.
Terminally ill father walks daughter down the wedding aisle
From Rappler, “All the 65-year-old, cancer-stricken Pedro Villarin wanted was to be able to walk his daughter, Charlotte Villarin, down the aisle on her wedding day last August 9. He passed away 3 days after, on August 12.”
Peace, JW

Waterloo Sparring Group as I try sidesword and buckler.
Great Fencing Today
I showed up a little late, but the fencing was fun and good training.
Things that went well:
Working with a student and training partner on meisterhau and identifying the specific issues in the mechanics.
Going in mock bouts against a new face (with a lot of experience fencing back in Poland!) on the Waterloo scene and doing well. It’s a great idea to do these mock matches, every point counts and it’s something to help train the mental side of the game.
Staying relaxed and having a lot of fun in freeplay.
Being forced to acknowledge how much my gloves limit my sidesword/sabre game. Yes, this is a good thing, I’ve been in denial for too long.
Pulling off several ridiculous moves while the camera was on me.
Trying combination cuts a lot. Mixed success, but it’s great to be throwing low and unterhau Zwerches in sparring.
Things that weren’t so awesome:
Worried I had hurt opponents more than once, when one of those ridiculous moves worked too well and my push kick hurled them back like a special effect, and when a thrust stuck to the underside of the mask chin.
Being late for training!
Still not being able to make the false edge cut on the upper diagonals work as a cover.
Need to try for more variety and control in my ringen-am-schwert and durchlauffen. As fun as it is to just blast double people...
Rappier Delivery
Remember when I lusted after Danelli Armouries’s Basic Rappier?
It arrived. Feels at least 1.2kg in the hand - not that it’s not well balanced, but it’s clear that I’ll need to be cautious to avoid Sidesword Shoulder, or worse, Rapierist’s Elbow. It’s at least as much a cutting sword as it is a thrusting weapon. Interestingly, mine has a minor cosmetic difference from the above, namely a slightly longer pommel with a waist by the grip. Possibly that’s to help it fit in the hand when wearing big gloves. I think it’ll work comfortably with SparringGloves, which is good because no-one wants to pay for a new pair of Red Dragons every four months.
