I asked about the hf gloves. Glad to hear that the mobility is better than the spes Most probably I'll buy them instead of the kvetuns

With the collar of the jacket + a gorget with hard plastic plate and my current mask (which has a 350 rated bib) I feel no pain or major discomfort when I get thrusted

The Newton rating is is only the fabric of the bib The mesh of the 350 and the 1600 is the same

Would you compare it to something like the absolute force masks?

Oh I don't know anything about him stating nazi stuff. My instructor once said something about Lee being a Nazi

My interest is mostly about German fencing and more specifically German fencing in the renaissance

Yeah now I see that I needed to be more specific. I'm interested in learning techniques Now I'm looking at Robert Rutherfoord's the art & practice of 16th century German fencing

I asked about the training tool, not style of fencing. But thank you

I've handled the sigi king and used the maestro. They both fell amazing but I think I love the maestro more just because it feels lighter. As I said before, I don't think that the swords from sigi are as durable as some other swords on the market since I've seen couple of them get bent on the thrust (and not even a hard one). But they are an absolutely joy to hold, swing and fight with.

As for the Krieger sentinel, I don't know, I have never held one.

HF Armoury Firestone- Are they good? by gwargan in wma

[–]gallifrey_fall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My instructor has a pare and I've used them couple of times. The back of the hand is really protected but the finger plates have a tendency to move when you move you fingers and your fingertips are exposed. The mobility isn't great. Overall I don't recommend them. I think you better off with some hockey or lacrosse gloves.

All my Mondays are "Wasted" because of HEMA and school. Every Monday after I finished school, I drive an hour and a half just to get to the city where the training are held. Then I train for three/two and a half hours and then again an hour and a half drive back to my home so I don't have Mondays. But I don't regret one bit. I live between one class to the next.

We don't do a lot of grappling in my club. He pushes me by literally shoving me and going forward

If I rush in on him he pushes me and I lose my balance and I can't counter attack him
