A champion and friend has left for Vietnam. Our last battle was totally epic and a great sendoff! Train with Asians you lanky warrior and give me a rematch!

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.

Balestras

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.

There was of course much more awesome fighting in addition to this, but here is a great match between V & J.

Spring is nigh, and Season 4 of dueling is just starting.
Neophytes – the sooner come to know the salty savor of battlecrack, the sooner you’ll be an able blooded blade.
