John Clements visits GHFS and teaches his new footwork


John Clements visited us and helped us understand his new footwork theory... We rather like it :) And yes, it is all in good fun. Ok, to explain things further, since some ARMA people have taken offense. I hope that JC has a sense of humour and that he enjoys the vid. We really like his work on footwork. In fact, I (Anders Linnard, the presenter in the video and the channel owner), have expressed my positive position on it on for example Schola's forum www.fioredeiliberi.org But being a public figure of the HEMA world, JC, just like everyone else, can expect us to from time to time make fun of him. It is purely out of love for those dedicated to the art. Fäktning, träning, kampsport i Göteborg på www.ghfs.se

HEMA promo vid for GHFS


Old promovid for GHFS, Gothenburg Historical Fencing School, featuring sword & buckler, wrestling and longsword. And some nice strangulation. Regarding the new music: The record company were being cunts and bitched about me using Back in black by AC/DC. The new music is free and provided by Youtube. The song is called Bringing me down by Drowning Pool. Unfortunately that means the cool little sound of Cecilia saying "That's good Television" is gone.

GHFS workout routine,building bodies, spirits and camraderie


The workout circuit done by GHFS advanced longsword class after warmup in the beginning of each class. Everyone goes through every station once, with 50 seconds spent on each station and 10 seconds rest between to get to the nex station. Besides the benefits in strenght, explosive power, speed, stamina and body control that comes with the workout it also builds camraderie as the GHFS students get a common experience of going through a demanding physical workout. Led by Julia "Drill sergeant" Ström. We get out what we put in, and we put in alot ;). ghfs.se historisk fäktning - kampsport och riktigt bra träning

Me and Anders doing a little Feder sparring at the demo at Kungahälla Medieval Days. The grass were slippery as hell. Ten minutes before the demo the rain was pouring. And sometimes we have to dress up :-D Just a selection of the whole sparring. Funny that me and Anders got one hit each almost ever time. That's a rarity. Enjoy /Robert

GHFS military sabre demonstration at Gothenburg City Museum


As part of the museum's 18th century theme, on October 1st 2010 the GHFS military sabre group put on a fencing demonstration. We were outside in the courtyard for the first few hours, where we could fight much more vigourously because there was lots of space. Eventually it grew too dark and we had to move inside, into a narrow hallway with incredibly slippery floor, where we could hardly move without endangering the spectators. Hence the slightly boring and tentative fencing. I hope someone enjoys watchiong it anyway. We had lots of fun. :-)
