That disarm they show is called the "vine" disarm in Filipino stick fighting martial arts. It's performed very similarly. I've done epee sport fencing & occasionally I've unintentionally disarmed my opponent. But it doesn't get you any points in sport fencing; it just stops the action until your opponent retrieves the weapon.

ooh, that's really interesting - I'd never heard of a vine disarm before. It does look really similar

This is very interesting for someone like me whom comes from a background knowledge only in cutting weapons and cutting attack disarms. It seems that the core basis of such disarms as counters would be identical in timing and tempo to, say, a Longsword or an Arming Sword disarm, even if the individual techniques are obviously different.

My fencing instructor (MSU Bozeman MT, 1985) disarmed me by hitting my foil blade and wrapping it and then flinging it out of my hand where it fell clear across the basketball-court & the guard rang like a bell on the free-throw line. He used the flexibility of his blade like it was Jackie Chan. Watching my sword go flying was worth the student loans.

Practice makes good and good practice makes perfect. These moves seem to be purely for establishing habits in combat that you can rely on. However, when your opponent is just standing there, waiting to be run through, it's difficult to grasp how these things actually work. Evenly paired, your opponent will defend in any way he or she can and you'll have to recover and deal with that. You-tube is great for spurring on interest but, at some point, you need to pick up a sword and start practicing I guess. Time to start shopping.

Parrying with the off-hand is a well-documented and respected technique in historical rapier fencing. As long as it is done with some measure of care, it's perfectly viable -- especially with a decent set of gloves. It's also preferable to taking a rapier point through the center of mass and allows a counterattack with one's own sword.

why are you guys not tucking your vita? your stance is so far forward that it seems like it temps you in to making foil style lunges (long lunges) (kzitem.info/news/bejne/rnmLyWxmfoGTeGkm25s) her feet was off the ground making so she could not respond tell she hit the ground, do to the long lung she had to drag her back foot to bleed off the power. I am just trying to see if this was intentional. But I like a lot of your disarms and i will have to try some, Thanks!

+russell thompson join fencing club that does historical fencing. I have found the Hanwei rapiers to be the best for your buck. there are much more expensive ones and cheaper ones but i like the Hanwei the best.it actually has some good weight to it which makes it more accurate to how a real rapier would fell to use. www.kultofathena.com has them. I really like the Spanish cup hilt the best by far. It offers the best hand protection and the quillions can be useful everyone in a while. There are a lot of clubs proving up that will have slightly different rules but search for a historical fencing. SCA has it and that is fine. they often don't have as good of a background in actual fencing but its still good. I do highly recommend doing sport fencing too. it really really helps if you have actual training in things like footwork, distance and point control.

Since you have already stabbed your opponent why disarm them?
@DavidCoblentz

Timothy Heimbach That's one of things that I find really interesting about this. I think one aspect may be that this kind of technique would be more suited to a friendly competition than an actual fight, in which case there may be an element, not only of hitting your opponent, but of looking really cool while doing it. Another thing, which I've found when I do perform this when bouting with rapier and dagger is that I sometimes just miss with the point, but continuing the movement with the dagger locks out my opponents weapon and sets me up for an easy dagger hit.

Timothy Heimbach I can't speak for how this works in a HEMA sense, but only in general terms. People are not immediately halted when you stab them. Even running them through the chest doesn't mean they'll instantly fall down and stop fighting. Disarming your opponent is very sensible. Police won't let a suspect retain their weapon even if they're on the ground after being shot, for example.

shadowblaster124 This is what I was going to mention. It is possible to find accounts of people, after being run through, winning the fight still. So, say you're point only goes through a lung or the meat of the shoulder, the opponent still has a small window to win the fight.

Can you answer a question? I took a fencing class while in college, and there was a move by rotating the foil in a circular motion quickly, and if done right could take the foil out of the opponent's hand, disarming him. I did once to my instructor but now, many years later, I have someone doubting this move.

It's totally a thing! I've done it a number of times in bouts. It is sometimes called a spiral disarmament, or a sforza. If you start from an engagement in a high line, make a transport to the low line, but let your blade slide along theirs to provide additional force against it.
