Akademia Szermierzy - Understanding fencing actions (HEMA Powers part II) 

Great information. The sounds is a bit low though, and the voice-over can at times be hard to hear clearly over the music.

Consistently the best HEMA content on RU-vid. Bravo!

It must have taken a really long time to edit in all the colour splashes for the hits, defends etc. but it is SO useful and makes things so much easier to understand visually, thank you so much!!

It's rare to find a video so concise and informative that I actually recommend it to students, and this is it.

1:19 Respect for him catching his opponent when he got knocked back

Fantastically informative, done very well to break down something that seems very complicated to something relatively simple!

I'm very happy that this is made by Polish guys. Im from cz and i can speek polish because of my family and thanks to you i fall in love in historical fighting

Hi! Great vid. That “HEMA tree” is something you could print out as a poster and “sell” to support the channel. I mean, it’s beautiful, cheap to make as a poster; and would be a good way to support the channel. Just a thought. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Interesting that you mention that some considered the counterattack to be the "jewel" of fencing @ 6:24 mark. Bruce Lee thought of counter punching as a higher form of offense. Bruce Lee was influenced by boxing and fencing. The Tao of Jeet Kune Do has references to fencing works.

I wanted to let you guys know something. I love all of you who help make these movies, tutorials and whatever. Tomorrow is my first ever HEMA fencing class, which I'm feeling very excited, and however very nervous for. I'm scared of holding a knife with the intent to hit, or even trying to defending. I'm scared of defending, but I'm sure I'll get less scared over time. Also, you guys are in a way an inspiration, since I remember watching you when I first starting to really get into my obsession with medieval times. I implore you to continue making videos for people like me who look up to you, perhaps you could even make tutorials in the future, teaching moves, and teaching how to not be so scared to pick up a blade, like me! Haha, anyways, thank you Akedemia Szermierzy!

I jump in the HEMA world few months ago (almost year now, yeaaaaah, i'm happy !), and each time I understand something, I see what I have to understand left. And it is just enormous. Not only I love longsword, but I am begining to look in the direction of i.33 and polish saber. HEMA are just a beautiful art. Fencing is a beautiful art. It feels to me that I will not be able to turn away from it, and with only one lesson per week, I feel... empty :o

I really like the video and explanations. I wish there was a poster with the labelled tree I could put on a wall.

"Destreza teaches us to save our strength and not to waste words."

Excellent editing on this video! The slowmo paired color splashes are a great way to illustrate the outcome of a pass which otherwise might be difficult to identify. Great work, love all your videos!

Thank you. Nobody else takes the holistic view like you guys do.

Dobra robota chłopaki, trzymajcie tak dalej 👏👏👏

*The lads are back*

What a brilliant video! Loved the blue and red highlights to show who got hit... so well done! ❤

Amazing, and well explained, cant wait for the next part

Quality video...thanks! Looking forward to more...well done lads.

This video is amazing and VERY well put together. Very excited for more!

I have a solution to solve all rule breaking in Olympic fencing involving not calling hits: Remove all armour, make the weapons sharp. After all, they can't say they didn't get hit if they have a giant puncture wound. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Wow, the added colors for hits/defense was very helpful. Clears up the confusion with what happened in those fast exchanges. This must have taken LOADS of time to edit.

I absolutely love everything about this video. It's just awesome. Thank you!

One of the most informative videos I've seen while also being extremely entertaining to watch. Bravo!

Amazing work, gentlemen! Looking forward to future episodes!

Great video! Thank you VERY much!

It's awesome how you are highlighting the hits and parryies etc!!!

Amazing job guys ! Love it !

Excellent work... What an amazing overview..

Beautiful work!

thanks very much ive been following you guys for some time and your videos have helped me perfect my own skills

Very well explained. When I started learning fencing many many years ago, my first instructor used a very similar analogy and in the 26 years since I have yet to find a better way to explain it.

That editing though! And this was very well thought out and put together. Cant imagine how long it took to piece together. Well done

Fantastic overview explanation of fencing. The best I've watched, by far.

Great description! Really easy to follow!
