This channel is mainly about HEMA and HEMA-related activities and subjects. This will mostly be longsword according to the Liechtenauer tradition, though I might sometimes venture into weapon disciplines I'm less experienced with.
The goal of this channel is to provide content that is helpful, interesting and potentially inspiring to anyone who is interested in Historical European Martial Arts.
And of course to show some super cool longsword fighting.

The thrust at 1min23 was amazing !
Awesome! Do you think that ,,hidden" strikes are called so not only as because they were secrets (were they, thou for real?) but also because they look like most of simple movements, while carrying a lot of delicate technical details required to make them work?
After some experience I started to believe that disarms in full contact would be very possible, if only one would train them regularly. I tried it out somewhat, and now I disarm ppl at least once per two weeks xD
Could you upload some videos?
I'd love to see some examples of this
First example is easy and pretty standard, but second and third, now this is really cool!
Cool exchanges! It's hard to do these, but once one manage, it's really satisfying! :)
wow, 0:33 was textbook duplieren. nicely done
1:24 is awesome. Cold blood.
Awesome!
Awesome, I managed to do this only once :D
This is also very usefull if krumphaw is done against langenort, just to enter the bind, and then following winden is in pflug position.
Isn't this rather ansetzen? Isn't absetzen counterthrust against a thrust, that includes closing a line (opposition)? That's what pseudo Danzig says at least.
Yeah, that's possible. I'd always interpreted Absetzen pretty broadly; as long as it's a thrust against an incoming thrust or cut, it would qualify. However, looking back now, I probably wouldn't count these as Absetzen. In the first clip, my thrust is actually the initiating attack, so that would disqualify it from being Absetzen outright. Well spotted :)
Before I learned zornhaw interpretation I currently use, schillhaw was the highest percentage technique for me from all master strikes, its really good tool as long as enemy intentions were properly recognized.
It is very versatile and even if you don't hit immediately, it sets you up very well for plenty of ways to continue posing a threat :) What's your current Zornhaw interpretation?
So, first intention attack into appearing opening is nachraisen too? I heard that preemptive attack that hits enemy during his overly big swing is nachraisen too.
The specific text refers to an opponent either swinging wide (overcommitting to a cut and missing, for instance), or pulling the sword back in preparation for a cut or thrust are both valid situations for a Nachraysen. In this video, my opponent comes in range cutting (not necessarily very committed cuts, but rather closing the distance with multiple covering strikes) and when his sword passes beyond centre, I feel like it matches the 'swinging wide' bit of Nachraysen. :)
Awesome!
I can't believe this video has so few views.
That thumbnail looks way too funny
Doesn't get much better than that!
You did well, but you should take up some Greco-Roman or Judo
Who was scoring these bouts? The Amish?
Greetings! May I have your permission to transport your Techniques in the Wild series to a China mainland website? Some HEMA folks in CN always doubt some techniques are almost impossible for sparring or tournament. It's will be greatly helpful if they can see these videos.
I love your high thrusts and how you not let your hips behind while moving!
STAB WITH THE POMMEL after the strike. Thats called muscle memmory lol
Early Liechtenauer techniques all demonstrated live and simply presented, this is really brilliant!.I'll share these videos with my club and classmates :)
Thank you! It's been a while since I added any new ones, but I'm looking to record more again now that training is slowly picking up again. :) Hopefully I'll be able to pull off a few more different techniques too. :)
Some basic grappling knowledge would get your game to the next level definetly. This grappling situations happen all the time with binds and gap closers (as you definetly know), and some basic double legs, duck unders, throws and suplexes would make you REALLY dangerous in this context
Yeah, I would say Ringen/grappling is one of the biggest gaps in my skillset right now. I tend to want to solve problems sword-in-hand so much that I am sometimes late in recognising and moving into a grappling situation. And I just don't train it enough. Maybe that'd be a good post-covid project :)
thank you for taking the time for this!
i'm looking up new ways to train and what do I find :)
More than good memories, this video is also a good tool to work on our defects and improve us. Thanks for all that work Michel ;-)
Video material is always useful! I hope you'll be able to put it to good use, and I'm looking forward to fencing you guys again! :)
Very nice exchanges! An aded bonus that this is one of only a few clips from DLC 2019 that isn't all glitchy!
Thank you! There were quite a few enjoyable fights in there :) And yeah, the organisation this year didn't record the fights, as it takes a whole lot of work and there was already a lot of stuff that needed to be done. I only recorded my own fights, but there are a few others who also recorded stuff, so a few fights are still available at least :)
the second exchange against Arto Fama (about 16:38) is really a flurry - wasn't able at all to see at normal speed that you had hit
Which is exactly the reason why judging is so very difficult! Accurately calling a hit when fights move at such a speed is extremely demanding, so I generally very easily forgive inaccurate judging calls. :)
Nice fights
Thank you! Most fights were indeed quite enjoyable :)
Interesting video and self-analysis. Keep making them and they'll get better.
Have you guys studies ameri do te? Because of all the groin attacks.
The music made me laugh =)
Yeah, the music is hilarious!
Nice:)
one of the most dangerous techniques out there, even in nowadays conditions. nice!
Yeah, people rarely see it coming and because of that aren't really braced for the impact (and the impact can be quite considerable, especially due to the angle and the momentum it's given) which makes it quite devastating! Thanks :)
"If you don't want to see all my fights in their entirety; because, well, who has time for that anyway?" I do. Especially when I should be working.
I know that feel bro. The struggle is real.
I'm glad I'm not the only victim of your thrusts - I'm not used to being stabbed that cleanly and was surprised to be delighted when you pulled it off against me (@2:55) because you did it so well ;) Love what you made in this video with the editing, music, your drawings, and how you reflect on your fencing. I find the latter one of the most interesting part in the sport. I wish you the best for Minsk!
I'm ALSO glad you're not the only victim of my thrusts ;) And thanks so much! I'm quite happy with how the video turned out, so I'm glad it resonates with others, too. I agree that self-reflection is one of the most important parts of HEMA (and life in general), and making these videos actually helps me do that in a more structured way :)
Thanks for posting this Michel, I really like these commentary videos. Very helpful and inspiring. And those cartoons are a really nice touch!
Thank you for the kind words! Really awesome to hear that they have such an effect :) I like the cartoons too! The only problem is that the more I like them, the more perfectionistic I get about them and the longer I take to finish each individual drawing... :p
Is that Federico at the side there? Love his Sword and Buckler videos.
Yes, that's him! He both competed and judged at the event :)
The arm wrap disarm is one of my favourite ringen techniques!
It's my go-to whenever I'm at that distance and my opponent isn't actively running in yet :)
Hi Michel, what's your training routine like? How often do you focus on strength training?
Hi John! I train HEMA about 4 times a week (and depending on schedule, I'll be teaching one, two or three of those times). That usually includes some minimal strength training as warm up, but nothing very special. Besides HEMA training, I try to go to the gym at least twice a week (except when it's the week leading up to a tournament or I'm otherwise engaged). If I have the time, I'll go more often, up to four or five times per week if my schedule allows. My training minimum at 2 gym sessions is Clean&Jerk and bench press one day, and snatch and front squat the other day (with some added assistance work such as face pulls, cable rows, overhead press and some core stuff). If I have a third day available I'll at least do deadlifts and barbell rows, again followed by some accessory work. At the end of each gym session I try to include some kind of hiit/metcon type workout, usually something crossfit-ish inspired. Maybe I should make a video about this...
@@MichelRensen Thanks for the info! A video would be awesome. :]
I'll see if I can get on that sometime soon :)
Lol, gotta love it when the video starts off with a nice heartfelt 'Godverdomme' :P
Haha, I KNEW I was forgetting something when editing this video. That was it. Oh well. :p
give back,give back ! here you are .
Nice video! I understand that you fall under his blade to bind from the other side and mantain blade control, am I right? Isn't a little bit of risk of double hit? Perhaps this works better if your partner has 'reallistic' reactions to a blade going towards his face (like your partners do) Keep the amazing content!
You do fall under the blade, but not necessarily with the objective to seek the bind immediately. Rather, you fall under the blade and thrust; a bind may happen if the other person tries to block the thrust. You can wind to a safe position after you complete your thrust, you should have enough time for that. The reason Durchwechseln isn't as double-risky as it may seem is because of the situation you (should) do it in. If someone presentes forward pressure with his point in line, Durchwechseln is NOT a good idea, because when your pressure falls away, your opponent can simply respond with a thrust and hit you even before you can finish your action. But if the pressure goes out to the side, or the point goes out to the side, or both: then Durchwechseln becomes an option, and a pretty safe one at that. After all, your opponent's sword is no longer directed at you, and the time necessary for your opponent to change direction and present a threat again is more than enough for you to stab him in the face and bind his sword again afterwards for safety. Having said that: EVERY action carries the risk of a double hit. If I wanted to, and didn't care at all about being hit myself, I could double out pretty close to 90% of all exchanges against anyone but the most skilled fencers. We're always going to need opponents who respond at least somewhat realistically. :)
Muhahahaha
Just you wait, I'll get my revenge.
We shall see (:
0:40 Brutal!
we also interpreted this technique:) ua-cam.com/video/R6vEsFQ2NbU/v-deo.html
Cool! Looks very similar to the ones in this video. :)
This channel deserves more subscribes! Great stuff!
Thank you! :) I'll try to keep the videos coming! If I keep doing that for long enough, hopefully the subscriber count will rise ;) In the meantime, you can help spread the word (if you want, of course)! :)
@@MichelRensen yes, we will spread links in our local HEMA community! Thnx!
Thank you so much, that's awesome! :D
Yes, I agree. Thank you for this content!
@@flashingsword Thank you for watching! :D
Thanks so much Michel! Your videos, and the ones with commentary in particular, are really helpful. I admit that for me, as a beginner, a lot of the technical stuff goes over my head, but still I learn a lot from just listening to you analyzing yourself. Not just because of all the helpful tips, but also because you show how to observe your own faults, habits etc. and how to deal with them. One day, I hope to be competing in tournaments as well, and your videos also provide a good insight into what that is like. So yeah, please continue posting these videos!
Thank you for the kind words! :D I'll see if I can somehow make the technical stuff a bit easier to understand in the videos themselves, or perhaps I can make seperate videos to explain certain concepts so they'll be easier to understand in the future. :) I'll try to keep on posting! :) With this kind of encouragement, how could I not? :)
Sorry, it is plays from Meyer?
Streychen may very well appear in Meyer, but the technique quote is actually from Ringeck! You can find it on the Wiktenauer page for Ringeck under 'Additional Longsword Teachings'. It is also where they talk about the Schranckhut and the Redel. wiktenauer.com/wiki/Sigmund_ain_Ringeck
@@MichelRensen on video you show Die krawthacke, is it corect?
@@Mittilgil The movements of Streychen and die Krawthacke are very similar (possibly even the same) but the context seems very slightly different in that die Krawthacke seems to be used as a repeated action to get into distance while presenting a threat, while Streychen seems to be more of a singular action to hit the opponent. In the video I'm trying to perform more of a Streychen, but the movement is so similar that you *MIGHT* call it Krawthacke... though I wouldn't, because of the difference in context.
@@MichelRensen Thnx for answer :)
Streichen appears also in pseudo-Danzig and in Fiore (in latter under different name ofc). It can be part of compoud attack, forseen counter-time, beat or parry.
