2024 Clash of Steel 史實歐洲武術嘉年華 順利結束

這部影片原本上週就想趕緊剪出來了
比賽結束後的激情固然讓人回味再三
活動辦完後的疲勞卻也讓人癱軟無力

在第一天的活動中我介紹了Gérard Thibault的Subjection/Obliging
第二天劍池預賽的時候有點太過於想用Subjection來作戰適得其反導致預賽我雖然都贏了但是打得不算很理想後來進入淘汰賽把心態調整過來盡可能在適當的時機距離使用適當的技術結果就是大家在影片中看到的那樣各種花俏的轉身都來了。

所有賽場上的轉身對我來說都不是刻意為之而是這麼做對手會更難反擊同時保護我的劍讓刺擊力道卸掉順勢轉身也能夠減少體重對自己膝蓋的負擔。

打贏比賽很開心帥氣的打贏更開心Fencing like Dancing賽場就是我的舞廳無須套招隨心所欲的完成一場又一場的劍舞

2024 Clash of Steel HEMA Carnival successfully concluded

I originally wanted to edit this video last week. The excitement from the competition lingers in our minds, but the fatigue after the event left us exhausted.

On the first day of the event, I introduced Gérard Thibault's Subjection/Obliging techniques. During the pool rounds on the second day, I was a bit too eager to use Subjection, which backfired. Although I won all my preliminary matches, they weren't as ideal as I hoped. Later, I adjusted my mindset for the elimination rounds, using appropriate techniques at the right distance and timing. The result is what you see in the video—various flashy turns and spins.

For me, all the turns during the matches weren't deliberate; that made it harder for the opponent to counterattack and also protecting my sword from the impact of thrusts. Additionally, turning helps reduce the strain on my knees from my body weight.

Winning the matches is great, but winning them stylishly is even better. Fencing like Dancing—the arena is my ballroom. No need for preset moves, just completing one sword dance after another as I please.
