HEMA: Sword & Shield

Welcome to our channel, Schildwache Potsdam! In this video, we, Stephan and Martin, will show you some exciting exercises for sword and imbracciatura, the big shield of Achille Marozzo. We’ll be demonstrating different variations of simultaneous defense and attack, a technique where you defend with the shield while striking with the sword in one smooth motion. To help you get the most out of these drills, we’ve kept the intensity low for demonstration purposes, but it’s important to remember that both technical accuracy and tactical understanding are crucial to developing your fencing skills. So, grab your sword and shield, and join us as we guide you through the world of fencing. Get ready to improve your skills and take your fencing to the next level! 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! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to learn fencing with us?
