Brock, who has some formal training in HEMA, in a variety of styles such as longsword, saber, and Italian rapier, taught a class on the Longsword, starting with the basics. • 0:00 - Guards/Parries • 7:19 - Lines of the Body • 7:49 - Diagram 1: Lines of the Body • 10:05 - Diagram 2: Fencing Theory • 11:00 - Direct, Indirect, and Opposition Attacks • 17:22 - Disengage • 20:00 - Circular Parry • 23:38 - Deceive • 25:31 - Grappling • 26:25 - Serpent Grapples • 31:19 - Scarecrow Grapples • 37:29 - Leverage Grapple • There are a few instances where it is hard to hear what they are saying, due to the wind; sorry. • Brock wants to teach more classes, and I'll try to get videos of each one, but no guarantees. 😅 • Disclaimer- This video is meant to be more entertaining than educational, and it should not and cannot replace formal, in-person instruction by a trained professional. At best, this video is an introduction to HEMA and the study of the various forms of medieval combat; please seek a professional for true instruction. We are by no means experts, nor claim to be; we are simply a few guys meeting informally and teaching one another what we have learned in our years of formal and informal practice in HEMA, the SCA, etc. If you attempt any of these techniques, please use caution, start slow and learn the movements before going full speed, and please use any and all safety gear you can obtain. Enjoy and stay safe. 😉 • This video is for the purpose of entertainment, as well as for us to watch and analyze our own fighting. This is not an official HEMA practice, we are not official trained HEMA instructors, we are only using equipment used in HEMA, and using techniques we have each learned from various other combat organizations and activities. Additionally, any background conversation heard in the video is not necessarily related to HEMA or the combat presented in this video.
