HEMA Rapier (and Sidesword) Tournament - Finals with Commentary
Channel: Schildwache Potsdam
Date: 2022-11-07

The finals our Torneo di Spada were intense. Here we have the Spada Sola competition, which allowed for Rapiers and Sideswords. I added Slow-Mo and Commentary for your viewing experience. Let me know, what you think! :)

Rules:
- 5 bouts per fight
- Total number of bouts unharmed determine the winner.
- If equal, count points (3 for head, 2 for shin/knee, 1 rest)
- Once hit, every fighter can place one action within one step that is equally counted (historical afterblow rule)

The sword in the thumbnail is made by Black Fencer, one of our main sponsors!

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!
