Sparring longswords? A sort-of review of the Todesca and the King

Hey all! My health hasn't been that great lately, so making videos has slowed down significantly. I did have some recorded sparring bouts with the Todesca lying around, so I decided to do a video on Sparring safe longswords. Why use them if we have feders? Why are we seeing so many of them now all of a sudden and what did I look like when doing HEMA more than 10 years ago? All these questions and more I'll answer in this video. Enjoy!
