HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE – Trial 4th Trimester 2018

2

Presentation HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE is an original sportive and cultural challenge. It aims to promote

the diversity of the Historical Europeans Martial Arts.

Each trials will initiate the challengers to differentes disciplines and sources (exemple :

longsword of LICHETENAUER and dagger of FIORI DE LIBERI) in a context which involves

time, effort, rhythm and precision .

Participants will:

❖ Discover and learn about new disciplines and/or sources;

❖ Measure their ability to assimilate techniques;

❖ Evaluate their practice out of their comfort zone;

❖ Compare their evolution through their scores in the next events 😉

The trials were designed to let all participants practice technics and practices from historical

sources, combined with sport exercises.

ONE CHALLENGE, TWO PARTICULARITIES

First particularity

Each participant has got only one opponent : himself !

It will not be about confronting someone with a source or technique that you are barely

discovering. It will be about practicing HEMA.

You will be evaluated on your ability to practice, the quality of your gesture and mastery of

it. As well as on your exercise skills.

Second particularity

Participants can do the trials where they want !

No need to travel to participate and perform the tests. They are accessible to all and

feasible everywhere. All you need to do is give us the results.

Difficulty In case of impossibility on an exercise (due to a handicap or an injury), the participants are

free to adapt it to their convenience.

Participation Everyone can take part in the HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE’s trials.

You will need to send us your score in order for us to rank the challengers; see below.

Evaluations

You can be evaluated through:

❖ The evaluation form available at the end of this document;

❖ A video of the trial.

Form evaluation

Each participant is evaluated by his peers during the trial. To facilitate it, a scorecard is

available for printing at the end of this document.

The results will however have to be reported online to be taken into account for the

ranking.

Video evaluation

Since it is sometimes difficult to consider yourself competent to evaluate a technique on a

discipline that you do not necessarily know, it is possible to make a video evaluation.

Those who wish can send us a video of their trial by email at the following address :

[email protected]. We will then evaluate them.

You can share your video to someone you consider able to evaluate your trial, who will then

report your evaluation on the scorecard.

Please note that your video must permit to evaluate your trial without difficulty.

Ranking The ranking of the trial will be announced at the beginning of January 2019.

The participants have from October 1st, 2018 to December 31th, 2018 to perform this trial if

they want their evaluation to be taken into account for the ranking.

Like all HEMA WOLF CHALLENGE trials, it is possible to complete the event after the period

originally scheduled. Participants who submit their assessment after December 31, 2018 will

receive their score, but this score will not be ranked.

TRIAL

DEATH BY MAROZZO Hold the sequence as long as possible. And without cursing MAROZZO!

The test is individual and involves only one exercise. It is a technical work lasting in duration

with a gradual increase of intensity

There is no time limit. The test is over when the candidate fails or decides to stop.

The test can be carried out with one of the following weapons:

❖ A two handed sword ;

❖ A long sword;

❖ A big stick.

The two handed sword represents the maximum difficulty (RX), the other weapons

represent a lower difficulty level (SCALED).

Presentation of the exercise

The exercise breaks down into one-minute turns each. The objective of the participant will

be to perform as many laps as possible.

During each round, each participant must perform the sequence described below.

The sequence is simple and fast ; only a few seconds are needed to do it correctly.

The exercise works according to the principle that each turn, you must perform one more

sequence than the previous turn. Thus, in the first round the participant must perform 1

sequence, in the second round he must perform 2 sequences, in the third round 3

sequences, and so on.

The event ends when the participant has not managed to perform the number of matches

he had to perform during the minute.

The time remaining between the end of the last sequence and the end of the minute of the

current turn is therefore rest time.

For example : if in turn 4, the participant completes his 4 sequences in 20 seconds, he has

40 seconds left before the start of turn 5. That is 40 seconds of rest.

Clarifications

Empans : Designates a measure of about twenty cm.

Gamba levata : literally "raised leg", refers to a strike that will end before we put the foot

that was thrown backwards in the manner of a kick.

Transcription

Trattase qui della tertia parte.

Tu sai che in la seconda parte tu rimanisti in porta di ferro larga, voglio che tu urti del falso della

spada tua in quella del nimico forte inverso alle tue parte dritte acociando in tale urtare il pie manco

apresso al dritto, e urtato che tu haverai el ditto falso, tu li darai de uno mandritto tondo per le

gambe, passando in tale tirare dil pie dritto forte inanci, e quel mandritto tornara in guardia de facia,

tirando in tal tempo il pie dritto apresso del manco, e dricerai la ponta della spada tua in la facia del

nimico per modo che se lui te tirasse per testa, tu infingerai de parare con la spada tua, e lassaralo

andare avodo, & a uno tempo medesimo tu li lassarai andare de uno roverso fendente, passando in

tirare de tale Roverso con la tua gamba manca inverso alle sue parte dritte per modo che la Spada

tua sera calata in coda longa & alta non te fermando, per tuo reparo, tu tirerai la gamba manca

apresso alla dritta, e si andarai con la spada tua in guardia di croce, e a un tempo de guardia de croce

tu butterai el pie dritto due spanne de drieto del manco, & si tirerai de uno falso desotto insuso

dritto per le man del nimico, e in tirare del ditto falso il pie manco andara de drieto dal drito, e in

questo modo tu anderai con la spada in porta di ferro alta per il dritto del sopraditto.

Translation

Dealing here with the third part.

You know that in the second part you stayed in porta di ferro larga, I want you to strike

strongly towards your right side of the falso of your sword in that of the enemy, placing in

this strike the left foot near the right. Then having struck this falso, you will give him a

mandritto tondo to the legs passing strongly of the right foot in front of this blow, and this

mandritto will return in guardia di faccia, pulling in that time the right foot near the left and

directing the tip of your sword in the face of the enemy so that if he pulls you in the head,

you will pretend to parry it with your sword, and you will let it go into the void. And at the

same time you will let him go a cracking roverso, passing with your left leg to his right side in

this strike so that your sword will fall in coda longa e alta. To cover you, without stopping

you will pull the left leg close to the right, and then you will go with your sword in croce

guardia, and in a time since croce guardia you will throw the right foot two swings behind

the left and then you will draw a falso dritto from below upwards into the hands of the

enemy, and by pulling this falso the left foot will go behind the right, and in this way you will

go with the sword in porta di ferra alta, right towards that this.
