Akademia Szermierzy - The Light of Life | fencing with epee, sabre, rapier and longsword 

I loved the editing decision to put a silver flare for blade contact and a red flare for a good hit. Made it wonderfully easy to follow the action with such a minimalistic technique

0:26 - Epee 1:12 - Sport Sabre 2:07 - Rapier 2:52 - Military Sabre 3:57 - Longsword 0:00 through 5:40 - Fantastic Swordsmanship

We need guys like you in films and tv series 🤧😪

2:35 - about the coolest actual exchange of blows I've ever seen

DUDE 1:06 that deflect behind the head was so cool

5:03 Longsword mind powers to overcome your opponent.

Honestly probably one of the best uses of lens flare I've ever seen.

My jaw literally dropped several times while watching this. Mouth wide open, staring at the screen, by myself in my room. The footage is brilliant, no doubt, and the editing DOES IT JUSTICE. Absolutely beautiful.

I hadn't realised until now that our fencing school had a youtube channel, much less having such great content and so many followers from all around the world. Great work and keep going!

Perfect combination of video and audio. You make HEMA look so attractive that I think this video can reach a lot of new guys. Thanks

Some of these exchanges were beautiful. It just shows that movies would actually be better if they had real exchanges slowed and stylised.

4:50 to 5:00 some of the most intense and awesome sword fighting i have ever seen!!! I wish movies were that good! Hell YES!

Gotta love your work guys! I think a HEMA video featuring epee and sports sabre would have been unthinkable 5 years ago in the historical fencing community. This holistic approach is what I've been dreaming of since I started. Fencing is one and the same with all of its different disciplines - it's a confrontation between two "prosthetic" (weaponed) humans. And you also make it very enjoyable to watch!

That was one of the best, and most entertaining, sparring videos I've ever seen!

Guys, i can watch you 1000 times again and again, you are true artists

Парни, вы - лучшие! 👍👍👍

I love that you managed to capture the athleticism, beauty, skill, and joy of high level fencing. Well done!

Longsword is just the coolest.

This is fantastically edited. The hit "markers" make it so easy to follow exactly what's happening, and your use of slow motion is brilliant. If I watch unedited sparring, I have to watch an exchange several times to actually see what happened - but with this editing style it's apparent straight away. Very viewer friendly. Also, I love you showing some "organic" sparring; and there were some really cool clips in this video. Realistically choreographed fights can be great, as can demonstrations of specific techniques, but it's easy for it to all get detached from the the actual focus of all of this; the fighting itself

Not only talent and incredible skill but the purest form of art. Bravo.

Fajnie się obserwuje Wasz progres. Z filmu na film montaż, praca kamery, światło są coraz lepsze❤️o skillach szermierczych nie wspominam bo to klasa sama w sobie. Oby tak dalej!

Hello Akademia Szermierzy! I found your channel by chance from you Aug 13, 2016 video "Akademia Szermierzy - Fior di Battaglia (medieval longsword techniques)". Glad that I found your channel because your work seems really great to me! That video was awesome and I wish I could see more of such awesome style and techniques in movies/video games in medieval/fantasy settings more often. Glad to see you guys are still at it!

Ребята, вы офигенные, всегда смотрю ваши видео с большим удовольствием)

I used to do Sports Saber in College. So much fun! With the great music, it's a bittersweet memory trip. Thanks for uploading in these times, cheers from Canada!

Homie in the black adidas was really good with the one-handed swords. Dude in the white shoes was money with that long sword. Awesome sparring video, nice editing with the hits.

Some truly epic shots at 2:10 !

This is incredible! The music choice just makes it even better!

absolutely beautiful. the fights, the editing, the music. please never stop doing this (obviously keep going after this plague is over us)

Look, Holywood, THIS is how you portray your fighting spins. Not the "New Hope"-esque comedy...although that was a pearl of its own.

Honest to God, I could watch your longsword sparring for hours. There's nothing wrong with the other swords or your fencing, I've just been enjoying longsword fighting lately.

Amazing to watch. Thank you!

This is the most beautiful Polish song I've heard. At first she was singing English, than when she started singing Polish, I was like Polish? Oh yeah, it's a Polish channel 😂

I cant' imagine a more perfect setting. Great music, as always. Cool to show all the weapons in sequence. Some of the most epic exchanges I've ever seen. Another awesome video from the Akademia

I already learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for that.

Music best part. Do more like this

amazing! thank you for the inspiration!

Please keep making this content, this is amazing :)

Lovely exchanges, wonderful to watch!

And also a good taste in music!

A true swordsman keeps 6 feet distance anyways! Haha Good video guys, helpful

Fantastic work, you guys!

it's so beautiful thank you guys

The consistency of actions across all five weapons is really fascinating to watch.

You guys are awesome!!

I don't know which I love the most, the amazing exchanges or the amazing music =)

S-U-P-E-R!!!! Thank you very much, guys! Very inspiring, especially in these days, when we all cannot train normally.

Panowie, wspaniałe jest to co robicie. Tak dalej!

Such a beautiful song.

Very good video, thanks from France !

The control on that exchange at 4:51 was incredible

Great production as usually entertaining and educational! The soundtrack is amazing and complements the action perfectly.

Still the best swordfighting channel around! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this great video. This beautiful Song from 1997 i never have heard without you..wow so good, espacially for this purpose. Like the polish version most!

Fantastic work as usual. keep it up guys!

As always, great fencing! I like the music too!

Super cool!! The video is never boring because it's a montage of successful actions. It's a really good idea to highlight the hits in that way.

Świetne ujęcia i efekty.

Love the head tap at the end there lol. Overall, the plays, music, the sword verities...beautiful!⚔️

Amazing Video you guys should do more in this format with the effects cool backgrounds and music this earned a subscribe :D

These are brilliant videos and the editing is smart

This footage is gorgeous. Watching you guys fence wants me to go again and fence myself. Really liked the flares that are used to show Hits. Added a Lot of managebility in seeing when the Blade hits either Blade or Body. Can you guys Tell me what gloves you use for Longswordsparring?

Glorious videos, didnt know there was that many types! Mma fighter here, loved the floire bit about crushing the enemy and courage

Do čerta chlapci, dobře to děláte! Pozdravuji z Česka :)

Damn, that was actually mesmerizing

Beautiful. They never fail use good footwork and use of range

So friendly with this music)

Great vid

Fantastic

Excellent moves.

Beautiful

Ugh just fucking beautiful execution, straight to favorites

magnifico!!

2:18 literally the reason that i think fabris is the most satisfying rapier system to watch, i can just imagine to satisfying thatd be to perform also, i think your military sabre is really just polish sabre with lunging

Beautifull video and technique! I am missing my sparring/training partners so much during corona right now.

👏👏👏amazing techniques in all swords

Cool video!

Far more entertaining than olympic fencing,clearly a lot more realistic in life or death duel rather than just try to poke your opponent before him

You just made my day 😄

Парни - Вы офигенные! Хочу к вам на тренировки!!! Молодцы! Отличная техника и работа!

Great editing.

Хороша робота, дякую за відео

As many have said, love the editing.

Visual effects on swords were perfect

This video is really making me miss regular practice at my local hema club

Bravi, belle tecniche!

This video is simply cool. Good job everyone! Akademia Szermierzy has consistently demonstrated that it knows how to combine raw talent with artistic creativity to make really freaking cool content. Bravo! 👏👏👏

Nicely done！

impressive! keep training hard!

That was perfect!

Super.....😁

Excellent 👏👏👍💪☝️🌞

Great video and good sword blows

Second fencing channel that I respect: acquired

Came here after seeing all the comments on the video The Sun channel stole from you guys, gave them a down vote and your a like! Amazing stuff! 👍🏻👍🏻

Okay. If I ever get into a duel with longswords, I know my move. 4:20 onwards. Hold sword more or less horizontal, keep cross guard horizontal, long thrust. Would be my best chance for survival because I probably can't pull off any other move.

I need an epee now!

Nice!!

I love this video. The more I watch it , the more convinced that sport sabre should do away with right of way to make it more enjoyable and closer to it's predecessor. Granted my bias as a former sport sabre fencer has a lot of influence on my opinion.

Супер!

This is fucking awesome, guys. I wisch some Hollywood Company would hire you to do actual swordfighting in a movie. Keep up the great work.
