Longsword sparring with Martin Fabian - HEMATHLON 2022 - 4K

In my recent trip to Athens, Greece I had the opportunity to meet Martin Fabian. He won the Longsword Gold in the tournament and gave an interesting workshop the next day. I didn’t manage to meet him in the competition but asked him for some sparring and he obliged. We didn’t put up any specific rules or concept behind our play, just fenced for a few minutes and I am very glad to have managed to work with and learn from such a great fencer. The video is without any analysis but I did played the exchanges that end in a hit 3 times each - once normally, once at 50% speed and once normal speed but with freeze frame on the touches. If for some reason you’ve been living under a rock and don’t know who Martin Fabian is you can check his YouTube channel - Angel Chernaev is a historical fencing instructor from Sofia, Bulgaria.
