At best, this video is an introduction to HEMA and the study of the various forms of medieval combat; please seek a professional for true instruction. We are by no means experts, nor claim to be; we are simply a few guys meeting informally and teaching one another what we have learned in our years of formal and informal practice in HEMA, the SCA, etc. If you attempt any of these techniques, please use caution, start slow and learn the movements before going full speed, and please use any and all safety gear you can obtain. Enjoy and stay safe. 😉
