25.01.2022 What elvish runes really mean. Joyfully stolen from Jesse Bessette #swordmemes #hemamemes #hema #longsword #swords
24.01.2022 George Silver (ca. 1550s1620s) was a gentleman of England during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, who is known for his writings on swordplay. In defense of English technique, George Silver published a treatise called the Paradoxes of Defence. This treatise was used to espouse the use of the English weapons and to downplay the use of the rapier. Silver hated the Italians and Spanish and made sure that his readers knew that these styles were more dangerous for the user than good English practices. He also wrote a treatise on his Paradoxes called Brief Instructions. Of course he didn't succeed - come and experience what George disliked so much at Brisbane Swords Rapier #rapier #historicalfencing #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

15.01.2022 Vadi knows his target market.... Philippo di Vadi Pisano was a 15th century Italian fencing master. Vadi composed a treatise on fencing entitled De Arte Gladiatoria Dimicandi ("On the Art of Swordsmanship"). It has obvious similarities to the tradition of Fiore de’i Liberi through art, language, and principles, however there are many new and different ideas. #fiore #vadi #swordsmanship #historicalfencing #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

15.01.2022 The Oakeshott typology was created by historian and illustrator Ewart Oakeshott as a way to define and catalogue the medieval sword based on physical form. It categorises the swords of the European Middle Ages (roughly 11th to 16th centuries[1]) into 13 main types, labelled X through XXII. Oakeshott introduced it in his 1960 treatise The Archaeology of Weapons: Arms and Armour from Prehistory to the Age of Chivalry. #sword #swords #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

12.01.2022 Are you getting the point? A poniard /pnjrd/ or poignard (Fr.) is a long, lightweight thrusting knife with a continuously tapering, acutely pointed blade and crossguard, historically worn by the upper class, noblemen, or the knighthood. Similar in design to a parrying dagger, the poniard emerged during the Middle Ages and was used during the Renaissance in Western Europe, particularly in France, Switzerland, and Italy. #hema #dagger #swordanddagger #rapieranddagger #historicalfencing #historicaleuropeanmartialarts

09.01.2022 "La Leçon d'escrime" by Alcide-Théophile Robaudi, (1887).Source: https://www.anticstore.art/76524P"By exhibiting his painting at the 1887 Salon des Artistes Français, Alcide-Théodore Robaudi demonstrated his creativeness by choosing an original subject. Until then, the art of arms was more often referring to historical fight representations of a duel, as the fencing lesson displayed by American painter Walter Gay at the 1879 Paris Salon. Images of fencing as a combative sport... were rather rare at the Salon. Portraits of experienced adult fencers were displayed at the Salon (Jean Antoine Injalbert, the Master of Arms Arsène Vigeant, Salon des Artistes Français, 1886 or Gari Melchers the Fencer, Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, 1906) but none of them share the charm of Robaudi's juvenile figure."(It was shared recently in another group, but I had been holding to share it for a while, so here it is with a different twist and more information.)

03.01.2022 Paulus Hector Mair (15171579) was a German civil servant fencing master from Augsburg. He believed knowledge of medieval arts was being lost and wanted to do something to help preserve it - ultimately this cost a lot and he ended up embezzling money to do it. He collected medieval arms and armour and undertook to compile all knowledge of the art of fencing in a compendium surpassing all earlier books. For this, he engaged the painter Jrg Breu the Younger, as well as two e...xperienced fencers, whom he charged with perfecting the techniques before they were painted. The project was very costly, taking a full four years, and according to Mair, consumed most of his familys income and property. Three versions of his compilation, and one later, less extensive manuscript, have been preserved. In this video Nico tells the story, demonstrates somes techniques and explains why Mair is co trove rails in the HEMA community. https://youtu.be/9q19_ai8Pmw
