Part 2 of building 1st with Eli. No VO, just the live coaching notes.
Last vid we looked at the direct cut from 1st, which is nice and clean. This time we looked at circular cut to the head from 1st — a nice 🍞&🧈 combo.

🔊On: Today’s video is fun ‘cause it’s really not much of a video at all.
While at RASP Marli and Maestro Myers of HARP Fencing gave me a little crash course in fighting at night in the dark and also using a lantern for night assaults.

Picked up some of the dueling swords and a smarra by Yixuan (via swordshop). Tossed on basic dry epee blades from Absolute Fencing.
The tang of the epee needs shortening for the smarra but the dueling swords are good to go.

No VO for this one, just my cos having notes and some light music to liven the mood.
Eli and I have been training 3rd, 4th & 5th pretty hard but now want to move into a more classical Italian 1st, 2nd & 5th. So starting with the basics.

Cooling down with some simple expulsions and direct cuts with saber.
Expulsions are one of my fav actions on the blade. They’re very satisfying to perform and I use them regardless of what weapon I’m fencing with.

Our classical fencing team worked on simple beats & attacks with saber this weekend.
Fencers worked through various beat positions and explored how they could attack from there.

⚔️ NEW BLOG & YOUTUBE VIDEO ⚔️
This was homework as part of testing for provost-level with SSU FMCP. We had to do a 10-minute video on a 19th century Italian masters.
As is in my nature, I got carried away and created 20 minutes. Whoops...

End of Year AMA (Ask Me Anything)!
It's been a helluva year. Hit me up with your fencing Qs.
(I do have training this AM, so replies will trickle in this afternoon/evening most likely)

Been a slow slog but finished writing up my Fencing Masters Certificate Program flash cards.
267 in total.
I added a bunch of extra ones in addition to the ones in the back of Gaugler’s book.
Now to study, study, study…

Switching up from smallsword to saber with Eli.
We are gearing up for a HEMA tournament in the spring but will primarily use the lighter saber for training until we get closer to game day.

Our beginner classical fencing crew working on sounding out their partners and then countering. Breaking things down and slowly adding in chaos as we go.
Love the effort folks put in!

In this vid, fencers probe via blade pressures to see how their partner reacts.
They step out, so it again, and attempt to execute their counter.
Coach is able to change reaction after every touch.

The floor was slick since they resealed it, so we kept footwork/explosiveness chiller.
Little more actions on the blade work (envelopment) with either a glide to the high line or a flanconade to the low line.

We took out “Feint or Ain’t!?” Game to saber class this weekend.
A fun exercise that works a lot of great and tricky skills. Great effort by our beginners!

Our training block on deception continues with Italian saber!
This week, we explored some classic feint combos and then adapted the idea of feinting when riposting.
Solid work by all of our beginners!
