Video highlights of our 'Blossfechten' (unarmoured fencing) training session recorded 20/10/2019 @ Cork, Ireland

This is a sparring drill where participants attacks only specific targets which are protected (fencing mask + overlay) yet both fighters still needs to be aware about any accidental damage that can occur during such bout.

This has multiple goals:
it allows to slow down the attack to the realistic tempo where you constantly needs to be able to cancel your action and come back to defense instead (survival instinct)
it allows to identify weak spots in defense such as rising arms/hands that are then becoming a target (keep the guard down)
it helps to understand and appreciate body and blade mechanics (opposition, footwork, body structure) as all these elements become increasingly important in a non armoured fencing.


DISCLAIMER: Please do not try this on your own, this is an advanced fencing drill that should be done only by advanced fencers under supervision of a qualified instructor!
