YouTube video by Mair's Mate Flail Myths (Looking at @scholagladiatoria 's statements about flails)

I always wanted to make a video about flail myths, but never got the inspiration for it.

Well now I got it. Matt Easton made a video on flails and some of these myths came up.

Mair is just peak.

Love Godinho's Dos Espada.

The LARP flailheads are perfect. Expensive, but perfect. Our main go-to flails right now.

Flail fencing POV

Dueling Shield fencing POV

My rondel-dagger has arrived. I only own it because of dueling shield/longshield fencing. Blame Peter Falkner.

YouTube video by Mair's Mate HEMA Workshop: Fighting with the Flail

Last year my club hosted an Open Hall. I was asked to hold a workshop on Paulus Hector Mair's threshing flail.

I am presenting you this abridged version of it with english subtitles.

Very nice video.

However, the mangual is not a practice weapon for the Montante. It gets repeated a lot, but the mangual was a weapon in its own right. Even from what Mendoza is saying, it does not seem to be looked at like a practice tool (would be weird too, considering moves will be missing).

Jägerstock is best Stock.

Clubmate has built me something.

A Jägerstock, as seen in Pascha.

The threshing flail. My favourite weapon. #hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing #paulushectormair

Messer time is a good time.

Two swords. Twice the amount of fun.

Two swords. Always good.

YouTube video by Mair's Mate HEMA Dueling Shield Fencing: Play 1 of Gladiatoria

The Longshield, better known as the Dueling Shield, is a very unique weapon.

In this video I will show you our interpretation of Play 1 from the Kraków version of Gladiatoria.

I love doing "exotic" weapons in our historical fencing sport.

Not just because they are unique, but also because a lot of them are important to fencing history.

More evidence that Mair did nothing wrong.

They feel good to fence with too.

A day full of fencing is a good day. (Also in the picture are my new sideswords)

#hema #historicaleuropeanmartialarts #historicalfencing

Gonna be epic.

Good choice. The Black Knights are about the best mittens on the market. Low profile.

Sickles are awesome!

I will now teach y'all the secret of the flail.

Swing it like this: ∞

That is the secret of the flail.

They see me flailin'

The Augsburgian city council propaganda on this site is INSANE!

Calling this man who did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG a thief?

Scandalous!

I love fencing with the dueling shield!
