Some great art made for me by @shrimp_with_rabies on Instagram. One of the best artists in the HEMA-sphere! #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #duelingshield #flail #warflail #mangual #cityguard

There aren't that many Dueling Shield videos on Youtube, so I decided to show a little bit of sparring footage we recorded during the summer. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #talhoffer #thrustingshield #duelingshield #longshield #fencing youtu.be/mZiejtu2w7Q

"Bag of tricks." A lot of people say this about Paulus Hector Mair's manual, as it encompasses many weapons. The plays look disjointed, but are they really? In this video I'll explain how Mair wanted you to understand his manual on the threshing flail. youtu.be/rZY7ctdQXNM #hema #warflail

The Iberian Mangual is special among the flail family. Mentioned exclusively by Mendoza, there are many questions about this weapon. In this video, I answer some of these questions and make some theories of my own. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing youtu.be/oL0BpCcWiog

Back to practice. Longshield. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #thrustingshield #duelingshield #talhoffer

I always wanted to make a video about flail myths, but never got the inspiration for it. Well now I got it. Matt Easton made a video on flails and some of these myths came up. youtu.be/0NFsHbbLAA0?... #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #flail #paulushectormair #myths

My rondel-dagger has arrived. I only own it because of dueling shield/longshield fencing. Blame Peter Falkner. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #dagger #thrustingshield #longshield #shield

Last year my club hosted an Open Hall. I was asked to hold a workshop on Paulus Hector Mair's threshing flail. I am presenting you this abridged version of it with english subtitles. #hema #paulushectormair #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #polearms youtu.be/9_xSVcifozo?...

The threshing flail. My favourite weapon. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #paulushectormair

The Longshield, better known as the Dueling Shield, is a very unique weapon. In this video I will show you our interpretation of Play 1 from the Kraków version of Gladiatoria. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #thrustingshield #armingsword youtu.be/2Ose-QhQu1U

I love doing "exotic" weapons in our historical fencing sport. Not just because they are unique, but also because a lot of them are important to fencing history.

A day full of fencing is a good day. (Also in the picture are my new sideswords) #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing

I will now teach y'all the secret of the flail. Swing it like this: ∞ That is the secret of the flail. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #paulushectormair

Do not be a Büffel. There is no reason to strike as hard as you can. #hema #historicalfencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

We have taken a somewhat long break from the Dueling Shield. But now, we are back in action and what better way to remove the rust than by sparring? #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #fencing #shield youtu.be/0s_BV1aBVKM?...

I love the dueling shield. One of the most fun weapons ever. #HEMA #HistoricalFencing #Mair #Talhoffer

Terrible. This sport is supposed to be a safe space for people. An activity where they can have fun and relax. Imagine being so full of hatred that you're trying to take that away.

We should all eat some chocolate coins on Mair day to honor him. He did much for our historical fencing/HEMA.

On that Jakob Sutor grindset. #hema #historicalfencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

The pike. An important weapon in the history of historical fencing. However barely anybody fences it. In this video I'll show you make a take-apart pike for yourself and share some of my thoughts on it. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXju...

The take-apart pike works. It survived sparring. So much fun! (Ignore the heads. None of the rubber ones fit so I had to improvise for now.)

Still hoping for another threshing flail manual that is hidden in a private collection somewhere. HEMA needs more flail.

Fencing life is a good life.

I held a workshop on the Threshing Flail during this year's Swordtrip-The Gathering. It was awesome. Great people. Great event.

Flail is the best.

Trüschel. Flegel. These words mean the same thing in modern German and they have done so even Mair's time But it seems like he is making a distinction between the two in his manual on the threshing flail....or does he? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG51... #paulushectormair #historicalfencing #hema

Held a workshop on the threshing flail in Hamburg. Enjoyed it a lot. Love bringing the flail closer to people. Wonderful event. Wonderful people. Wonderful weapon. ⚔️ #historicalfencing #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #paulushectormair

Paulus Hector Mair did nothing wrong.

HAPPY PAULUS HECTOR MAIR DAY! #HEMA

Historical Fencing includes a lot of weapons. One of them is the threshing flail, as shown in Paulus Hector Mair. A while ago I made a video about the historical length of such flails. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Taiv... #HEMA #historicalfencing #fencing #polearms #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #mair
