I’ve passed the last two days with my friend Federico Dall’Olio, which is an awesome fencer! We passed two beautiful days together talking about fencing and many other things! And of course we had a lot of fencing! We had sparring by playing around with different rule sets, and Fede helped me working on my measure management and awareness with a beautiful frontal lesson. Two beautiful and interesting days! @dallolio_federico #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #longsword #swordfighting #fencing #longswordfencing #swordsmen #hema #hemafencing #swords https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2wUk8tjZ5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday I decided to celebrate ten years of HEMA by training ten different systems, roughly in the order in which I learnt them. If only I could say I spent a year on each one. It finally stopped raining when I finished recording.

A shot from last Sunday’s @gwaithimegyr practice session in #bandung . It’s not often that we get to capture two different levels of drills in the same frame — from the bare basics for a beginner in the foreground to somewhat more advanced beginner stuff in the background. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #longsword #longswordfencing #medievalfencing #sword #swords #swordfighting #gwaithimegyr #gwaithimegyrbandung #hemaindonesia #indonesia #martialarts (at BALKOT ( Balai Kota ) Bandung) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PCLy-n2ao/?igshid=1gj5q2ogkq99c

Like so many other clothes I’ve made for myself, somehow the #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts protective jacket looks rather nicer from the back than from the front.... #sewing #tailoring #imakemyownclothes #longswordfencing #sartoriainsulindica (at BALKOT ( Balai Kota ) Bandung) https://www.instagram.com/p/B31v7Zunnjo/?igshid=1842imz6vz113

Hello HEMA friends!

The third video of my Longsword Beginners Guide introduce the thrusting action and the lunge.

I hope you will find it useful!

Cheers.

Ugh. Once more I forgot to mention that there’s a new video on my #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts club’s Youtube channel, taken on one of the few group practice sessions we managed to wangle up this month. Find it at https://youtu.be/rZJKEcshbxk and don’t forget to check the club’s account at @gwaithimegyr too. #sword #longsword #longswordfencing #historicalfencing #martialarts #hemaindonesia #gwaithimegyr #gwaithimegyrbandung (at Bandung) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxM_6yHrQS/?igshid=1i8y73hilqniv

LEAST embarrassing highlight from the free-play sessions in last week’s @gwaithimegyr practice. We were all pretty rusty and the rest of the videos are rather . . . hilarious to watch, to put it nicely. But, well, the way to git gud is to be crap and keep at it until one gets less crap, so there. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #longswordfencing #longsword #sword #swords #swordfighting #federschwert #swordtraining #martialarts #hemaindonesia #gwaithimegyr #gwaithimegyrbandung (at Bandung) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJER4_nQwx/?igshid=1xlzbx813hgg5

“"It is a great mistake to suppose that women cannot learn fencing as quickly as men…the fact is the women are much the quicker pupils. They are more flexible of body; their limbs are more supple and elastic—that’s one advantage. Their mental brightness enables them to pick up the strategy of the art quicker—that’s a second advantage. And, thirdly, they have more nerve—it’s a fact; I don’t know why, but it’s a fact.”

This is a quote from Thomas Hoyer Monstery, a 19th century swordsman with a ridiculous combat record, who trained arguably one of the greatest swordfighters of her age, Ella Hattan.

He knew his shit.

EDIT: Ella Hattan was not the greatest "female swordfighter” of her age, she was just one of the best, period. In fact she ran out of opponents because men were afraid they would lose to a woman and refused to fight because they couldn’t handle it.“ Jon Mills
