Please excuse the video quality. The lighting was dim and my sister's phone doesn't have the best quality.
I really need to work on my form because it was non-existent here...
So just to give you an idea of what’s going on, my parents came back from shopping and dad was in the mood for a bit of “sparring” with my rawlings wasters except not full-contact due to the lack of face protection as I only have one mask. So far I have only taken three HEMA classes and attended a seminar and my dad has no training whatsoever but I’ve only ever gone up against two right-handed opponents so far and never up against a leftie like my dad. So I didn’t really try to employ any technique. My sister recorded and my dad consented to having this video uploaded. So what follows is some back yard bullshit and a not-so-epic fail at the end.

Swords used:
Rawlings Synthetic Langes Messer (me)
Rawlings Synthetic Arming Sword with Scent Pommel (dad)
Protection: Red Dragon Sparring Gloves (which are too big for both of us! Got the wrong size...)
