So close to hilt and by the pommel. Got it. Just need a sword first.
SgtLoveCrimes
And once you do, it will be become an addictive and expensive hobby. Especially going all over the country to compete.

Lol. It always makes me think of that one huge dude that just wrecks the shit out of a smaller guy with his shield.

#5 hey, that is the best grip, man
DanTh3Polak
AC Valhalla did it right with the wide grip. Even though it's not that noticeable, it made me happy that they took the time to get it right.

#1 one of those grips is holding the blade...?
Onlypostcuteness
You hold it more like a fish and less like a goose neck.
FunEndsHere
Yes. That's called half-swording. Usually, the sword is only really sharp at the tip, while close to the pommel it's safe to grab
FunEndsHere
It's an effective technique against heavy armor. It allows one to either use the guard as a club or the tip for more precise stabs

If you can wield a sword effectively using just your buttcheeks then, by God, you have a duty to uphold!
lifeisadadjoke
#5 is a variation on how Wonder Woman carried her sword in that dress in her first movie. Guess they ran out of 'fish out of water' jokes.
DisgruntledFerret
That's a lot of abuse for someone in butt-stabbing range.

People getting mad about fantasy sword techniques is the same energy as people who post "fake" on YouTube.

Is it still a weeb if they’re already Asian
FiveShiftOne
Hm. Guess not. I didn't look too closely the first time. It's also a cowboy hat. Still straddles the lame/cool line.

It was far too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed it was a heap of raw iron.

Yeah in that case wide grip is definitely the way to go.

It's ok to grip the blade?

HoneyBunchesOfStoats
if I recall correctly, there were fencing styles that involved gripping the blade close to the hilt for some moves and
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
that portion of the blade was not sharpened
Cheomesh
If you keep a good grip on it you'll generally be alright. Most of the blade isn't typically sharpened the whole way (you don't cut with 1/
Cheomesh
the lower half much, if ever, if you think about it.) 2/2
CatsUpvoteTerror
Yes. Makes it easier to stab a knight in his penis
TinHornGeKo
I practice European Historical Martial Arts. It is perfectly legal to grab your opponents blade and move it. However this is not advised.
TinHornGeKo
Usually because that blade is in motion, and even a slow tap on a finger from a blade will hurt like hell.
Cheomesh
Works well in smallsword.

One hand on the blade? Ha! Watch this!
nycterelis
I think the assumption is you're wearing gloves, or the the steel that close to the hilt doesn't have an edge.
flavivsaetivs
You can grip a sword bare-handed. Just don't let your hands slide.
MunkeyFlea
even if you aren't tho, you can still pretty safely grip the blade as long as you grip it correctly, and don't have super sweaty palms
Kittynomnoms
If your palms are sweaty and it slips though... RIP

Especially if your knees are weak

Gloves can protect the area and its often either not sharpened and flat like a rectangular bar or dulled heavily.

No, see how he's right foot forward? Tip will follow the left arm back past his left hip. Just janky medieval artistic perspective.

That's what codpieces were for :)
ReginaKasteen
Respectively "I wish my sword was a spear" and "I wish my sword was a hammer". Versatile!
candiduscorvus
You can even remove the grip and bean your opponent in the head to End Them Rightly.
flavivsaetivs
Unscrewing the pommel is not a thing for all swords. A lot of swords have their pommels peened over.
DeepFriedMemesExclusively
I believe you mean to unscrew the POMMEL to end them rightly.

ruferto
she has super tough skin right cause of her amazon traits
Lichelf
She is basically a god. But at the time she thought that she was a normal amazon and the sword could kill gods. So why risk it?
MelodyLightfoot
and because she's a demigod made of clay.
ilovedogknots
You’re telling me that grabbing the blade is correct?
Beiki
If we're talking about a longsword, then so long as you're not rubbing your hand up and down the blade, squeezing it won't cut you.

PeakExponent
Yes. It's in many medieval sword fighting manuscripts. By changing the center of rotation, you reduce inertia, which lets you attack faster.
PeakExponent
It's like having a smaller sword, without the encumbrance of carrying an additional weapon.
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
it's also good for wrestling an armored opponent, you use the sword as a lever to force them to the ground
MunkeyFlea
ye, halfswording, murder stroke, etc
SgtLoveCrimes
I'm of 2 opinions on this. As a sushi chef I can imagine a katakana being as sharp as a yanagiba knife.
MelodyLightfoot
Long swords are not sharp all the way down and you generally hold them with metal gloves
CyborgScribe
I dont think katana techniques involve as many sword grabs as arming sword ones.
muramaza
katakana eh what about a hiragana knife? ?
SgtLoveCrimes
Damn auto correct. Was meant to be katana
Seras91
Yeah but you don´t use half swording techniques with a katana because not only 2 different styles of weapons but a multitude of different >

schools. Many combat swords had even a dull area near the handguard for that (in german called a Fehlschärfe or missing sharpness) and of >
Seras91
course you don´t go into a fight with bare hands but with gloves, most likely even armored gloves
SgtLoveCrimes
Hence the discussion.
SgtLoveCrimes
And will cut your hands just looking at it. But my german style vegetable knife only cuts if you run your finger along the edge.
SgtLoveCrimes
So, holding the blade of a European sword is plausible.
Tyrannotron
Or you simply don't keep the full length of the blade sharp if you are using half sword techniques.
Itsonporpoise
I’m guessing trying to keep the entire length of it kitchen knife sharp would be a bit challenging
DeepFriedMemesExclusively
Totally correct, even hitting over the head with the guard, handle or pommel is correct
Cheomesh
Ah, Wallerstein.
DeepFriedMemesExclusively
I am not sure if that move is legal in Hema though, too dangerous.
Onlypostcuteness
Pommel strikes are usually frowned upon. That's how you get waffle face, or worse if you hit right(wrong).
CyborgScribe
Yeah you wouldnt want to hurt someone in your...medieval combat?
Onlypostcuteness
It's only really real when you use sharps
DeepFriedMemesExclusively
Considering the fact the move is know as “Murder-blow’ I figured it would be frowned upon in modern tournaments.
