Disciplines: Swordsmaster

Postby Telarus_KSC » Sat Jan 24, 2015 4:51 pm

To follow-up on the excellent Archer post, I wanted to start a thread for Swordsmasters. Some of the concept material presented will also be applicable for other adepts, like Warriors, etc.

Dimicator / Roland Warzecha - Roland has mixed martial arts training (an Escrima background), and then went on to study classic european Sword & Buckler fencing manuals. He's taught me more about sword and buckler than any other person, much of which is applicable to other sword techniques. Here are some of the better videos to get started:

Sword & Viking Round Shield: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkhpqAGdZPc
Sword & Buckler Tactics 1: Entering with a blow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd0D4u4Aeks
Sword & Buckler Tactics 2: Moving in True Time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0LpsnO0E4U

I'll probably follow up with some of the later sword-styles, where blocking & riposting becomes one fluid motion, such as the classic Spanish/Italian "fencing".

Interesting, thanks for posting. I couldn't help notice the picture of Toshitsugu Takamatsu in the background, Roland must have studied ninjutsu as well?

He shares a Dojo with a german Ninjutsu group, so they may cross-train. :)

perhaps you are interested in these topics as well:

Which historical weapons require the least skill to use?


Just a side note: I really hate when all player choose sword as a weapon for their combatant type character simply because the sword rules over any other type arm.
