Playing around with messer and Hungarian shield at Battle of the Bridge. #messer #langesmesser #hungarianshield #hema #botb2025

Competing this weekend. I am having fun, though results are not great, yet. Tomorrow there is a longsword tournament for ages 35 and older. Maybe that will suit me? The clip is from one of my fights today. #botb2025

More than a week ago now, time flies. Here is another clip from Holmgång. I almost turned this around but lost a very tight duel. I am pleased with this move, though. #feint #longsword #hema #holmgang2025 #uppsalahistoriskafaktskola

Another duel from Holmgång. I struggle here, and think I should’ve had even more points judged against me. My opponent Pontus is really good, and went on to win the competition. Still, could I have done better? Please, suggest how! #hema #longsword #holmgang2025 #uppsalahisoriskafaktskola #coaching

Second fight in the pool at Holmgång on April 26. Enjoy! #hema #longsword #holmgang2025 #uppsalahistoriskafaktskola

Another clip from the Holmgång competition. This was my first bout, which I turned around after brilliant coaching from my second. ”You might be moving somewhat too linear.” I was, I adjusted, and managed to scrape out a close win. #hema #longsword #holmgang2025 #uppsalahistoriskafaktskola

Zornhau, the wrath cut, from yesterday’s longsword open at Holmgång in Stockholm. I ended up in places 9-16 out of 33, so I am happy with both the results and my fencing. #hema #longsword #holmgång #uppsalahistoriskafäktskola

From today’s sparring session with fellow fencer Daniel. Focus on schielhau. #hema #longsword #schielhau

I top-eighted Messer Open at Wasaslaget. I am so happy with my fencing. This is from the pool, one of my only positive exchanges in that match, facing a much more skilful fencer (thanks for the lesson, Pontus). I won my first elimination match in a really close bout, and lost the quarterfinal. #hema

Sabre slowmotion. With sparring partner Oskar. #hema

Sword and buckler yesterday with sparring partner Jonah. This is just before we got into a minute of fruitless wrestling. I edited that bit out to focus on the swordplay. #hema #swordandbucler #uppsalahistoriskafäktskola

The last part of the messer duel with my friend Oskar. We had a really good time, although I was exhausted at the end. Entrusthau x2 + zwinger. #hema #messer

Part 2 of Sunday’s messer session with my friend Oskar. I am especially pleased with my footwork in this part, which has improved the past few months. I wear the yellow/black puffy pants. #hema #messer #uhfs

Yesterday’s sparring with messer friend Oskar at Uppsala Historiska Fäktskola. We’re a bit hesitant at first, feeling each other out. I wear puffy pants, as always. This is the start of the bout, I might post the rest of it later. #messer #hema

A bit of fun today, as the sabre class was instructed how to board a ship.
