Learn Sidesword - Timing #2 Parry, Riposte and Contratempo

A great moment to strike the opponent is right after you parried their attack when they are out of position - or even better during their attack. Here I deliver some historical examples and go into some key points on how to make these techniques work.

In historical fencing or HEMA (for Historical European Martial Arts) we reconstruct sword fighting systems from historical sources. Our club focuses on Italian medieval and renaissance sources, fencing with the Spadone (Two-Handed Sword), Spear, Sidesword (One-Handed Sword) together with Shield, Cape, Dagger, you name it!
