Just started learning sabers and i live in a small town with no real following, im so glad you guys have released such a clear and easy to follow lesson!
Does Shii-Cho help if the opponent is fast and makes lots of moves without using a specific form and hitting hard with his saber ? Because with my friend I'm doing a lot of fights and everytime we hurt our fingers each other or something other
@@lepetitrenard_8668 Well there's Form 7 which is what he used, Form 3 is also a good counter due to it's defensive nature. Form 4 would also be a good counter (but it's literally impossible to use it💀) And Form 6 which is essentially a blend of all forms.
@@AW_unit3650 Ok ! Btw does that mean that form 7 is just giving hard hits in any direction ? Does that make it an easy-to-learn form but also a dangerous one cuz we hit our fingers ?
I think that parry 5 and 6 are not executed correctly: the hands of the guy that holds the saber during the parry have loose fingers, that will influence the parry to be done firmly. Imagine to parry an attack with the grip of the saber like that and you will end to be disarmed or hit. Sorry to point that out but I have experience with medieval and reinassance historical sword fighting and that grip is totally wrong and useless in a combat situation.
