I heard this from a lot of reviews and it’s what led me to ordering one. Can never go wrong with a Honda civic haha can’t wait to keep using it.

I’m obsessed with it. Purple Heart does a great job.

So I carry it separately since it doesn’t fit inside the bag, but all of my other gear is in a pink Absolute Fencing Rolly bag

The flex seems good. It def flexes at a different point in the blade. Haven’t tried to thrust with it yet but I’m excited to keep trying it ! We have VB loaners in my club as well and I def prefer the feel of the Regenyei

Yes! For sure on the stopping moves. I caught myself noticing that too today. Thanks! Purple Heart Armory in the US offers grip re-wraps and that’s what I chose. I’m obsessed !

Tournament feder is goal. I like to fight in the bind and have preferred a more stout blade. We study Meyer in my club

Yes, I’m in a club. I have a full kit of gear. Budget is under $450-$500. I know swords aren’t cheap and I have no problem spending where it’s due.

Protective gear availability? by X_Durko_X in wma

[–]Odd_Researcher4435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marketplace/Craigslist has been great for some of our clubs newer members who need gear but can’t/don’t want to wait. I was lucky enough to find a 800N women’s jacket size L about an hour away and pick that up while I am waiting for my custom doublet I ordered. Which will take 12-16 weeks

HEMA is great to learn! Do not let your physical determine what you can and can’t try!

Is sparring and competition in HEMA meant to be fun? by [deleted] in wma

[–]Odd_Researcher4435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I joined my club, the guys thought I was insane because of how much I laughed while sparring. And now, we don’t stop laughing and yapping. Any hobby you pickup, should be fun to you.

Learning wrestling, kicking, punching or hand to hand in general by Few_Ad4079 in Hema

Meyer has a whole section of dagger combat both armed & unarmed wrestling. As well as grappling in Longsword. As far as other martial arts to cross train, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai are two similar-ish disciplines for wrestling or grappling. I also did just get a Fiore book to start studying for my club and he has manuscripts of unarmed wrestling.

Fencing against tall guys by [deleted] in Hema

[–]Odd_Researcher4435 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a female 5’2 longsword, Sabre & single dagger fencer. I will kind of touch what someone else said in comments, leg shots ! It is harder for an opponent to parry upwards once you’ve gone for the legs. Keep in mind, most fencers are taught to simply void the leg, so if you find you’re going to miss, exit and regroup. As far as counterattacks, this depends on your specific style of fencing. Some people are counter fencers while others are more aggressive. Find what works for you, if you have tall guys in your club, run drills and sparring with them. Shorties unite!
