The SwArtan
I'm a Historical European Martial Arts fighter, student and competitor placed top 50 world wide with longsword, but I very much consider myself a beginner still, as every day I learn new things about the art of sword fighting.
I also train with sabre, with dagger, and historical wrestling. I also like to fence with sidesword, sword & buckler, or pretty much any other weapon I can get my hands on!
I try to do 'text book' fencing as much as possible and like to compare sparring and tournament exchanges to the historical sources!
Other martial arts I currently train are English Boxing, Kick-Boxing, and bare knuckle fighting, though I am very much new to those. I have also briefly trained MMA and Kyokushin Karate in the past.
Although this channel's focus will mainly be on the weapon side of H.E.M.A., I might compare some unarmed wresting or striking martial arts footage to historical unarmed combat sources every now and again.
