#Sidesword Vs #Messer
Provoke with a false edge cut to the head, get suppressed with downward cut, counter thrust into my opponent, twer into a cut to the back of the head and make the grapple.
Ruby isn’t used to people just putting hands on her, because unlike messer, her style doesn’t grapple
#Sidesword vs #Messer
#HEMA
Bout1
Opp cuts to head, counter thrust to hers, retreating back edge cut to 2, Ali styling on the abzug
Bout2
Snap back edge cut at hand twice to provoke, catch counter cut on crossguard, wind up and false edge cut to the head, grapple arrested sword to farm more aura
#Sidesword vs #langsmesser is a test of managing distance, footwork and learning to close safely to the grapple.
My partner is overall a more experienced fencer than I am with a much longer weapon, I however have better grappling foundations, a foot of hight and an extra 60 pounds.
Video games would have you belive that the small fighters are super fast and the big guys are all slow and stuff so anyway here is a larger fencer moving in real time on slow mo.
Which checks our because I grabbed the blade before I even registered it ⚔️

#Sidesword Vs #Messer:
Overcoming the weapon length became a lot harder than I thought it would so after getting stabbed a lot I shallowed up my targets.
Provoke to head, pull cut short to guard from incoming cut, krump sword out of the way, twer to exposed forearm, run, run the fuck away.
#HEMA
#Sidesword Vs #Langsmesser:
Provoke, counter cut displacing cut to my face, we arrest at the hilts however my shorter sword can not hit her in the head. The moment of stillness gives me time to grab the blade and pull her forward the last needed inch to score the touch.
#HEMA
#Sidesword Vs #Messer:
Even though paired weapons usually only grant tall fencers advantages to deep targets, my step is a bit of an advantage so I used a much, much shorter weapon.
Unfortunately, there is still a rather large man on the other end of the small sword…

Girard Thibault is on the move!

Two Fencers engaged in dual wielding shenanigans. One in red and blue standing, defending with a blade and attacking with another, the other in black down low, a knee on the ground, attacking the standing Fencer's leg while defending with the other blade against the head
Same dual wielding shenanigans from the opposite angle. There are two genders in the background standing and watching, as well as two sitting further back watching the exchange as well
Some random snapshots of fencing shenanigans from months past
Here are two Fencers engaged in a little light dual wielding, they were kind enough to pause for some pictures
I have months of backlogged pics, so expect more ⚔️
