A good way to notice a "tell" for their attack is to watch their shoulders, they will always move before they strike.

This is a valid observation, but the eyes can give away a tell before it happens. |

I got to spar with a rather quick and strong gentleman who is about 6'3'' or so, and we got it on video... I'm just waiting for them to review the vids so I can get permission to post them.

That's great Lucien. I look forward to seeing it. |

My Barbarian woodcutter is 5' 9" 215 lbs. He's a quick little bugger. |

As promised here's the video of the gracious gentleman I got to spar with, mind you today was our first meeting. He's a big guy, with strength and pretty good speed. So this is a dangerous combination, but the techniques applied are still the same for an opponent who wants to power through your defense.

That's a great video Lucien. I saw that he clearly had the reach advantage, but you were able to get him off balance a couple times to deliver the fatal head strike. Also, I notice that you made sure to keep moving. It seemed like a lot of your thrusts and strikes came from defensive maneuvering. Dodging out of range, but reaching out to strike at the same time.

I'm glad you could tell, I was worried that the video might be too "raw" to show the techniques I was using. If you can get comfortable with being in close it really kicks your dueling up to new levels. Being able to move quickly helps you do that, a moving target is harder to hit than a stationary target. Not just useless movement though, work on body changes and pivots so you can place your body in a position that makes you a hard target. Thanks! Good video!

Thanks Kham! and I can't take the credit for the noodle idea... I enjoy my saber injuries too much... that was my friend's idea. He's smart |

Good video, Lucien... I like how you guys are really working on the footwork (I think the leaves really force you to stay well-grounded!). Lots of nice feints and good speeds there from both of you!
I'm curious about your friend there--does he have a lot of martial experience, or is he generally new to the whole thing?

That's a good question Novastar... this was my first day dueling with him... we also boxed, he seemed like he really knew what he was doing with the gloves on. So I assume he's at least informally trained. As far as sabers he and the other gentleman I was sparring with have experience dueling each other quite a bit... Honestly though I'm not sure how seasoned he is, I'll have to ask him next time we meet up.
The footwork brings up a good point, I consider it to be a very important aspect, so I like to duel in tons of different environments, as Nova pointed out the leaves require you to be mindful of your foot work, I also like to duel on hiking trails mountain ridges and the beach. They all have such good training value because you learn how to think on your feet. What I will say is this, if you decide to duel on steep hill type terrain BE CAREFUL! I don't need to say how dangerous it is if you lose your footing, unless you're highly trained on how to break your fall, and how to roll with the hill without breaking your neck take it slow.
but yes I'm a stickler for good footwork, I think it is a key to great swordsmanship.
