High-end single sword sparring video

Postby Brennon EH » Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:50 pm

Video is sort of rough due to the compression, unfortunately.

Some good examples of two very different fighting styles working against one another effectively. Being that it was dark, my timing and range control were at a disadvantage versus Lief's speed and reach. I compensated by being more cautious than usual.

Flare was working on blocking the outside same side hip wrap, riposting, and returning to guard. If you watch the progression you can see clearly that she goes from not being able to do it at all to being able to do it regularly.

The weapons in use by Lief and I are just at 12oz. Flare's sword is about 8oz.
