Small Sword Plays in Fencing

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Tim Weske on behalf of expertvillage.com. On this clip we are going to show you a sequence with the linear fencing, small sword type of fencing. If you would like to see more information about this look at swordplayla.com. Now, when we are doing thrusting motions we are making the hand, when we are thrusting to a person's right we do what is called the pronation of the hand. If we really want to hit them we do, this is the normal hand position, but we want to miss them when thrusting to their right, we make our hand pronated. We see my finger is going off to the side, if I wanted to hit the camera, I'd go this way. If I am going thrusting and making a thrusting person's left, I would do what is called a super-nation of my hand. So I bring the point of the weapon to the opposite side that way we keep it safe, the audience doesn't know. So we got a little sequence here we are going to put together which is we will just do some linear with the small swords. These are for mainly, this type of thing is used for thrusting weapons. Here is Megan and John to show you. One more time.
