Video review by 'The Historical Fencing Channel' of a tournament bout by David Miller of Sellsword Arts

Various exchanges are used to discuss the concepts of strong and weak, indes, the bind generally, winding, thrusting(ort,schissen,absetzen,ansetzen etc.), and so on.

You may or may not also know about these older and recent KDF-related posts on this blog that may be useful as reading material alongside the video.

Here’s a masterpost of sorts of Meyer content on this blog, one of the later masters in the KDF tradition that covers all the mentioned aspects in the video.

Video review by ’The Historical Fencing Channel’ of a tournament bout with Josh Furrate fighting and James Reilly doing most of the actual analysis.

Before the actual video review starts there's already talk about wider fencing concepts and principles,such as fuhlen, and how they apply in a variety of sitautions. Later we get more specific context through the exchanges themselves.

The video is that of essentially an applied video study and even though made by a youtuber and essentially focused on the modern sport of boxing it can be useful for historical fencers to consider. ‘Sensei Seth’ first goes through video of the fighter he wants to copy, he also tries solo drilling various movements he’s not used to or slightly tweaking the way he does some moves so they’re more akin to what Ali used to do in the ring, talks to folks more experienced in certain details than he is and drills with them and attempts to apply it all to his sparring.

Now he already has a fair bit of experience with martial arts and connections that not everyone has in terms of finding experts easily around him, but the overall approach is mostly the same as what we’d want to do if we for example wanted to do a video study and copy a style of an experienced HEMA fighter.

I’d argue we may want more looking through the video material and analysis of some details, but that may have made for a less interesting video for Seth so no foul there.

Now obviously one cant fully copy someone elses style in a week, especially not that of a high level fighter, however going through the process over a longer period of time, or for several different fighters can help us progress in our own fencing, get us to be more aware of why and how certain moves and tactics work and whether that jives with what we’d like *our* style to be or not.

Here’s also an older post about applying videostudy to HEMA, as well as another older post about running for HEMA.
