Hi! I'm a HEMA practitioner from South Korea. I'd love to watch some live HEMA tournament broadcasts... Are there any YouTube streams that broadcast them? Or perhaps links to recent tournaments? For me, kicking back with a beer and watching HEMA tournament videos on a hot summer night is one of my favorite hobbies.
Hello! I am one of those humble fencers whose passion for HEMA has been reignited once again. While practicing HEMA Longsword, I've come to wonder about weight and strength training.
Compared to the past, interest in weight/strength training in the HEMA community seems to have grown significantly these days. I was wondering what kinds of weight/strength training you perform to improve your overall performance?
(For context, my training partner and I have been doing weight training for quite some time, and before our injuries, we had lifting experience of around 80–100 kg on the bench press, 140–160 kg on the squat, and 100–140 kg on the deadlift.)
I look forward to hearing your valuable insights!
