HEMA | Antoni Olbrychski's "The Deluge" (Swordfish 2018 Saber Tournament) 

This is too fucking wholesome for RU-vid.

just my opinion, but i prefer military saber boots like this to polish saber. i like the mix of cutting and thrusting better. I like Olbrychskis form though.

Have you seen Skall's " expert saber sparring video" ? Definitely worth seeing.

@@thrownswordpommel7393 Its good because Skall doesn't take part in it.

@@RandomGuy-ej9gr haha lol

Exactly

It's even better fighting it.

Well, he almost killed the other stuntman-actor when filming that duel and he defeated a guy who was trying to hijack an airliner in real life.

Good film. The oldest instructions about the Polish saber fight szablotlukpolski.pl/pages/ebooki ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S8SauT2DfuY.html

And for putting screen doors on their submarines.

@@jacobvisor3034 wtf, dude.

Oh, c'mon. Don't we all like to be excited from time to time! I'm Polish citizen myself. And familiar with the move since my childhood as a part of our popculture sts. Just hoped on the video and found out about Antoni. Man, what a story it is to me! :D It' freaking cool! Take care!

Thank you for pointing that out.

So this is an actual sport? I thought hema was more like acting swordplay. Like when little kids play lightsaber or what not

@@geo4424 Very much not the case - you might be thinking of LARP.

@@geo4424 its much worse than you think! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uFB5hVYyFW8.html&ab_channel=Nerdist

Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!

@Love Law What? I don't care about them lol that is not what I meant to know, I am asking that can this HEMA as a whole be in the Olympic

@Love Law Nah I'll pass

@Love Law What a silly and ignorant thing to say. How about you upload a video of you fighting with a sabre. The original comment was asking why sabre fighting was not in the olympics and had nothing to do with the level of skill the two gentlemen have.

@Love Law Care to explain? As far as I've seen, this form of fencing is not in the Olympics. Perhaps you mean the Olympic event where both fencers are on a lined mat?

​@Love Law calm down good sir, olympic saber fencing is a different sport, it is limited in regard to space, since its only happening on a narrow strip, also the weapons are different.. Both sports certainly produce athletes of great skill, and since olypic saber fencing is a professional sport ofc, the olympic athletes are of exceptional skill, Still their skillset is optimized for the exact rules and limitations of olympic saber fencing. This simplificiation of Olypic Fencing is , leading to an insane amount of skill and training put into mastering the skills needed to work withing those limitation. Which will with no doubt lead to them beeing on average better in those skills that are also essential to hema saber.. But Hema Sabere Fencing also requires skills, that are kind of different to Olympic Saber.. I personaly would love to see people form an Olypic background participating in Hema Saber. So one could see how easy it is for them to use their skills and how able they are to adapt to the Hema Saber Rules and Enviroment. If you say Hema Fencing is just bad Olympic Fencing, i think you are kinda biased, because they are just different sports. I think both Sports can benefit from each other and if one of them is gaining more popularity this can also raise the interest for the other one. There realy is no need to hate on each other, when both can learn from and with each other. Respect is of vital Importance =)

great northern war was russia vs Sveden not Poland vs Sveden =)

Glad to hear you enjoyed the match! Kristofer Stanson has started to practice HEMA about 15 years ago, with initial focus on saber and longevity (www.fightermag.se/2016/06/19/intervju-med-nhfl-vinnaren-kristofer-stanson-ingen-ar-omojlig-att-sla-mig/). Antoni Olbrychski is a saber instructor in Poland (www.akademia-szermierzy.pl/o-nas/), his grandfather is a Polish actor and an accomplished sabre fencer Mr. Daniel Olbrychski, who played in major Polish historical movies Colonel Wolodyjowski (1968), The Deluge (1974) and With Fire and Sword (1998) based on Henryk Sienkiewicz 19th century classical novels.

@@ViciouSExorcisT Greetings from Poland I like your great WOTR videos

@@luckyjosh84 Greetings, Josh! I hope you'll enjoy the future material as well, as you know, I always focus on quality vs quantity. ;)

Воистину, братан.

How?

I also expected Stanson's more collected and calm stance to prevail, but maybe Olbrychski is cheating through his blood lineage :D

It was very risky but paid out. And yeah Olbrychski was too aggressive - something that in other circumstances would have probably finished him. On the other hand Stanson was very collected and maybe would have prevailed if the fight was longer - he would be the one with more Stamina left.

Yeah, cause u dont understand fencing lol. If u can tie ur opponent up scared defending their upper body, not only is hitting their leg a good idea, its stupid to try to hit them in the place they are preoccupied to defend

so, better

maybe the other guy shouldve tried to defend himself

@@GlwaddynionForest like I said... "with absolutely 0 regard for his own survival". Most comps have bylaws/rules about reckless fencing, but I have yet to see them enforced; thereby leading to the laughable display of martial skill seen here. The moment I started noticing judges and organizers NOT calling people on reckless fencing was the moment I stopped competing.

@@wildrangeringreen this is fine lol. The doubles happen either from slight mistimes or misreads of intention. Those are just fencing errors. These blokes would wipe the floor with guys who consider themselves "martial" (and frankly the majority of martially obsessed fencers Ive met are just panicky stophitters reminiscent of beginner epeeists). Anything that isnt a double is by definition fine.

@@GlwaddynionForest stop hitting (particularly of the hands and arm) is sufficient in violent encounters... that's the difference between martial fencing and sport fencing. One's practicing to butcher another person, the other is meant to be a game that can help one get better at the former (and there's nothing wrong with that). There is a problem when one conflates the two. Just like with firearms and darts, just because you've "killed him", doesn't mean he's dead yet. Reckless fencing ignores this and dispenses with self preservation in favor of overly aggressive action; usually in an attempt to meet the artificial conditions of success put in place by a ruleset (which has been drafted to facilitate a game).

@@wildrangeringreen stophits are a favourite in olympic fencing lol what are you on about. A pretty typical criticism of epee (though somewhat outdated) is it contains too many. My comment regarding stophits arent that they are bad, just that when done reactively without initiative they will almost always lead to doubles and are often late too. I agree, training and the real thing are different. the thing with fencing is that the real thing cannot be replicated to the same degree as unarmed combat, and comeptition is still the best way to attempt it.

Same thought, any way to find out?

Training whole life to get struck on the battlefield. These kind of things get in your head, even 2020 wasn't that bad in comparison!

I mean he literally would get less points if the guy hit his head. he just didnt

pretty much the same style imo. most of the olbrichyski's thrusts were going for the contact rather than doing actual damage

И такое бывает.

Dude, seriously, noone cares. That's interesting piece of historical trivia, but it has nothing to do with modern fencing. Why bring this up? To humiliate Swedes? He's a sportsman and duelist who lost with dignity to a very skilled fighter, I'm sure people who actually duel with sabers respect eachother very much.

@@witoldendrju2458 let him have his moment, his country was snuffed out of existence 200 years ago.

@@MoorishBandit Yeah exactly, 200 years ago. Now it's a prosperous 1st world country in the middle of Europe, is there still need to brag about something that happened 400 years ago completely out of context?

Cause it works, there is no existing ruleset in real life that prevent those techniques. The winner here is just using a mix of epee and sabre from olympic fencing

@@alessandrofattori6548 My solution would be the same as the solution the old Epee fencers gave. The Fencer who gets hit the least wins. This would shift the focus from hitting a higher value point target while taking a hit, to disabling your opponent without getting hit.

@@tarquiniussuperbus21 it changes nothing from now in epee, the one who has been hit less wins (or hits more it changes nothing)

The only thing it changes from epee in this fight is that they use sabres (so olympics fencer moves are implemented) and timing in which you can hit back your opponent is wider. No idea why every hema guy hate sport fencing when they really have small differences.

@@alessandrofattori6548 You didn't understand my comment.

What did you expect
