A classic fight scene with the courtly smallsword versus the highland broadsword.
But seriously Mr Aristo, don’t just stand there looking shocked – draw your blade through his fingers and then stab him in the face. This clip version has some weird startrek vulcan music overdubbing.

Ambidexterity in action.

Savate + Fencing

So this is a traditional fencing balestra which is really just a hopping advance and then a lunge in quick succession. (& http://sworddueling.com/2009/08/12/the-balestra-quartata/). So what I’ve been calling a balestra isn’t one – ah, terminology.
What I’ve been doing is when leaping forward powering out with the leading leg, with a rising hip & the quad kicking, like skipping on air, out forward, gaining extra distance. It works best with backhand & rising cuts.
