Schildwache Potsdam
Welcome to my channel. My Name is Martin and I practice sword fighting since 2008 and historical fencing specifically since 2015. I started with reenactment and show fighting, but quickly became addicted to learning from historical sources. I teach a college sports class at the University of Potsdam in Germany and founded the Schildwache Potsdam. Our research focuses mainly on the 16th century sources from Bologna, but simply put: We love all swords. We do Sidesword, Longsword, Rapier, Sword and Buckler, Spear... you name it!
If you would like me to teach a class or discuss swordplay, feel free to send me an email. I hope you will enjoy our videos!
