I got no sleep last night because a treasured friend needed to be driven to hospital, BUT-

Guess who's got no sleep and her own sword now!

I think I unlocked a new Meta at my hema club. I got injured recently and still wanted to be there. That's why I chose to print some homemade stickers before going.

From the amazing Valentina Kazachevskaya (Валентина Казачевская), https://www.instagram.com/dryadanthe/  “Farfalle di ferro” (iron butterfly) drill Part one: mandritto fendente, a high roverso punta, and roverso fendente. Start and finish in donna destra.

Part two: roverso fendente, a high mandritto punta, and mandritto fendente. Start and finish in donna sinestra.

Part three: four sottani: mandritto sottano with the false edge (aka falso dritto), mandritto sottano with the true edge, roverso sottano with the false edge (aka falso manco), roverso sottano with the true edge.

When put together, part three is done with two passes backwards.

“In Sweden we have a saying; “A loved child has many names” and looking at what is today called a federschwert this seems to be true for this type of sword as well, at least if we think of it in general terms as a sword for training.

Historically, the simplest choice of word was of course schwert, and it was certainly the most commonly used alongside of the less used langen schwert, but terms like paratschwert and fechtschwert have also been used historically, at least in non-fechtbucher sources, although it is hard to tell what the words actually mean. This article attempts to explore the historical background and use of these different terms.”
