Sword meets mask 

Oba Salminen Let me help you with that insult. "As old as yo momma"

***** Speaking as one who often have worked with teaching actors to fence, yes. You have to simplify things, and even then developing proper timing takes a long time, usually more than what you have available for a standard rehearsal period. This doesn't mean you can't choreograph and shoot fencing sequences that are more true to what we today consider realistic fencing. You have to cheat more, though. And the director must agree... Often artistic considerations supercede "correct" fencing.

my problem is, i need a sparrings partner - you can only learn so much from watching a video.... finding someone to spar with who takes it equally serious - super hard.

Maybe a little, but you should be exploding off the back to gain momentum. Only once you cross your legs does your front leg, now the back leg, add to your forward motion.

Alex Werner nice music good job

Oberonjames I use Absolute Force, but if I was going to buy again, I think I would go with SPES. Low profile good protection. Be sure that you are careful about sizing when you get a mask. I went with large since after measuring my head multiple times I was on the line of large and medium.My head rattles around in it like a can full of loose change.

Will nonya I was worried about sizing, yes. My head is at the high limit of large and I was thinking I'd have to go extra large. The school I train at lets me borrow a mask until I can buy one of my own, but all of their masks are too small for my head. I went for Large in the end. I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail and I hope it isn't too small. I was told you can adjust them though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Oberonjames yeah, the medium I got for my club's loaner is a bit tight on me but I kinda like it. Too bad everyone else has small heads.
