"Fighting with the Roman Spatha (Similar to Gladius) The Spatha was a longer sword than the gladius and initially favoured by cavalry it was later adopted as a common infantry sword. Roman swords are of course famous for being used with shields but that doesn't mean they always were. We are using custom made Spatha trainers by Black Fencer which are of realistic weight size and handling. Sadly nothing remains of the Roman tradition of swordsmanship and so we are using our extensive knowledge of short sword fighting in the 15th-19th century to put them into effective use. Nick is in red and Sam"

"5-Finger Koning Nobilis Edition HEMA Gloves by St Mark Full Review A review of the latest generation of HEMA gloves by St Mark. This is the latest iteration of the glove that's been on and off production for a decade maybe more. We've tested these over the last [--] months alongside Thokks Gabriels and others before making this video. They appear well made durable and move well. They are quite bulky though making them difficult to use outside of messers and longswords. These gloves are size large which is a little too big as pointed out in the video. Sadly the medium size gloves were too tight."

"Renaissance battle MELEE GAMES for HEMA - with half armours This was filmed during a one hour segment of one of our sparring days. Here we run a series of games with the Renaissance battle theme. The commentary features a lot of info about it but here is some extra - Space used was limited for some games to simulate having limited space either because of the terrain or the battlefield environment. All target zones were used. Each fighter could take three wounds but a torso or head shot counted as an instant kill. Steel armour works as armour and so strikes against this are non scoring. All"
