Una mica de sparring. M'encanta la schiavonna BlackFencer d'en Rui, però encara no he dominat les espases que he comprat al 2025. A esperar

Divina Providència: fa poc vaig recuperar del bagul aquests “cuarteados” i ara fa una setmana vaig comprar la “Velox” de BlackFencer. Resulta que tenen una sinergia estupenda, els faré servir més sovint

Got me another montante trainer from Blackfencer. First one is standard, second one is the flamberge. Gotta fence against my friends and stuff.

Ahora, pasamos al turrón. Hay muchas clases de espadas; esto viene de su momento histórico e intencionalidad.
Me voy a centrar en la espada larga (una de mis armas favoritas). Sin embargo, muchas tienen varias funciones, entre ellas:
✨pinchar
✨cortar
✨parar
✨golpear
Vamos a explicarlas un poquito.

Messer options:

For affordable, go synthetic with Blackfencer ($95):

When you can afford steel, go for a Landsknecht Emporium ($350-$400):

Okay, another thing, if this is for longsword, a blackfencer isn't so bad either. SoCal Swords (my school) usually has them in stock, and RJ is great if you have questions.

NEW SWORD! I got the Black Fencer synthetic v4 Zweihander! It’s about 5lbs and 5.6’ long! My wife @d0llytr0n.bsky.social for scale! #hema #greatsword #zweihander #blackfencer

Hitting each other with steels no kit is a bit sketch, but you can get synthetic ones from blackfencer that won't hit as hard for lower kit use. (ideally if no kit get a boffer though)

can't wait for my custom sharp simulators from BlackFencer to arrive 🤺

i've worked with these extensively and they're amazing for adding back in the element of edge-to-edge control you lose with steel feders and synthetic trainers

only real downside is the lack of clang clang ⚔
