Improve your HEMA sparring - Focus 

Absolutely :-)

Ha, nice analogy. I generally agree with your idea Federico, although some take it to the other extreme - focusing so much on the opponent and trying to “survive” that they completely ignore what they already know. And then it’s an endless flailing or poor parries. Sometimes the advice to just “execute what you know” can work better. In have sent many people wanting to or starting sparring too early, while still having very poor technique. So they can’t focus on tactic. Overall good video, but you should make a second part ;)

@@AngelChernaevHistoricalFencing there is not a statement which is always true, as there is not a technique right for every occasion. In this video I pass a message which will be useful for some people, there are other good advices who contradict this advice which are good as well, but for other people! It greatly depends from which kind of person I have in front of me, and this is easier to understand during my private lessons, while instead, while speaking in broad terms, I have to focus on something clear, specific and not do too much “yes but” messy things! Besides this, what you say is true, but again: Someone can just try to pull out his one-two fendenti/oberhau action, but if he is not able to see that every time he try to to start a cut, the opponent just drop the point in front of him as a reaction, going for a double... It’s right, but also wrong, as many advices tend to be. They are contextual

@@FedericoMalagutti sure thing :) That’s why - waiting for part 2 Very nice video - short and concise :)

Exactly!!! Good analogy!
