Weekly Livestream now in Beta

Greg Reimer November 19, 2016

One of the most difficult parts of pursuing mastery of an art is holding yourself accountable to your own training and growth. So that’s why Greg and I are going to beta a new weekly livestream.

For at least the next four Sundays at 11:00 am PST we’ll be online and welcoming the members of the HEMA community from around the world. The goal of these sessions is to:

1. Share training goals.

Telling someone else your goals can be one of the most effective accountability tools.

2. Check in on progress toward those goals.

Like our yearly 30-for-30 Swordplay Challenge we want to offer a forum where you can shout out your successes and work through your blocks.

3. Answer training & technical questions.

We’ll be there, sword in hand, to answer technical questions and give advice on how to train and practice effectively. If you have questions about Duello.TV content or from other sources, bring them along.

Our first session is this Sunday (the 20th). Whether you’re a Duello.TV subscriber, an Italian Swordplay practitioner, or from a completely different school and art, you are welcome to join us. There’s no cost and no barrier to participation—it’s open to everyone. If all goes well we’re planning to expand future online interaction to guide students taking specific courses.

Simply follow this link at 11:00 am PST on Sunday, November 20 and you’ll be able to see us live and join in by chat.

See you there!

Online Swordplay Courses are Coming

swordplay coursesGreetings everyone! We have been working hard on exciting new additions to Duello.TV. Our goal is to make the site an even more effective resource for learning swordplay for the first time or honing existing skills. Our existing content is very thorough and we are constantly improving it, adding to it, and keeping it up to date (we have more than 400 video lessons now online). However for many newer practitioners the quantity of information and required knowledge for each video can be overwhelming.

So we are hard at work on creating online swordplay courses. Courses break up the content in our longer video lessons into smaller topics. Each topic includes a video lesson, a quiz (to aid in retention), short-term and long-term practice guidance, and areas to ask questions and get specific help from us and our community.

The courses are progressive, so each skill builds on the other and allows you a much clearer path for learning how to fence and progress in this beautiful art. Do the lessons on your own or with a partner, or simply browse through the content and use your existing knowledge to answer the quizzes.

If you have comments or questions regarding specific lesson videos, quizzes, or practice content, you’ll be able post it into the comment box for that specific area. Feel free to ask actual technical questions (meaning really take the course and see how it works) or simply give us feedback on ways we could improve that section.

We have a group of beta testers involved in our first course offerings for the Rapier, so we can garner as much feedback and improvement before releasing them to the public. We are working on the first offering for longsword as well (based on absolutely brand new content) and have begun work on our level 2 content for rapier and longsword. The feedback you give us will help us shape these offerings.

Not a part of the beta group? No problem, you can access the free Swordplay Sampler Course here. We want to hear from you, so hop in and tell us what you think.

Next Round of Beta Courses is Live

Hi all! We’re back with a mid-month update on the new developments at DTV. Work is progressing fast and furious. We’ve spent the last many months at work behind the scenes, and the fruits are now coming into view.

rapier-offhand-apprenticeThe Apprentice (Green Cord) offhand material has been fully refreshed and updated to reflect a more direct and systematic approach we’re using at the Vancouver Salle. We hope you’ll get a lot out of it. Your approach to the use of the offhand should be greatly enhance by going through this material carefully and repeatedly. Don’t forget to send us a comment or email and tell us what you think of it.

New Swordplay Beta Courses

The two remaining courses in Rapier Fundamentals are now available to all beta testers.

1. Rapier Fundamentals II: Movement, Control & Recovery (RAP-055)

2. Rapier Fundamentals III: Tempo & Combat (RAP-060)

As you may already know, Rapier Fundamentals I was brought out for testing at the beginning of the month. If you haven’t had a chance to try these out, please avail yourself to some great learning resources. Watch the video, answer the quiz, work through the practice notes, and leave us comments on how we may improve the experience. If you have a question about a particular technique, we are completely available to help answer it and assist in your education. Take this opportunity to learn!

These courses are geared to beginners, but I believe one can never drill the basics too many times. Fundamentals are always useful!

Try Them Out Today

You can access the courses here. Scroll down to where you see the Rapier Fundamentals courses, and the button “Add to My Courses”. After the page refreshes you should see the course in the My Courses list there and on the My Account page. (There’s about a 30-second delay between the time you add the course and the time it appears in your courses list. We’re working on eliminating this delay. Thanks.)

Feel free to follow along and do the lessons on your own or with a partner, or simply browse through the content and use your existing knowledge to answer the quizzes.

Your Feedback is Needed to Make it Better

If you have comments or questions regarding specific lesson videos, quizzes, or practice content, please post it into the comment box for that specific area. Feel free to ask actual technical questions (meaning really take the course and see how it works) or simply give us feedback on ways we could improve that section.

We are working on the first offering for longsword as well (based on absolutely brand new content) and have also begun work on our level 2 content for rapier and longsword. The feedback you give us now will help us shape these offerings.

Hop in and let us know what you think! We’re eager to hear from you.
