Just bought a training sword. What are some workouts I can do with it?

Idgaf about hema but being an occasional ma instructor I far prefer people who are untrained than self trained retards

I'm not talking self training technique, solely conditioning.

Dude, look up treatises on swordfighting and manuals for combat. You wouldn't believe the amount of material you have to work with.

Nice, thanks user.

Fake and gay, poat timestamp with a photo of a sword mr.faggot.

It's in the mail. Literally just ordered it.

Starting Swings

Seppaku x 5

When I was starting out I practiced these movements to get familiar with the weight and balance of the sword. It was way harder for me cause I had a zweihander that came up to my shoulder. But check the move set out, it looks dope to normies as well. Bonus if you're a Witcher fan.

I’m more interested in nunchucks. They can pass through a metal detector.

You could commit sepakku weebfag

What's the point in this? Other than being a literal autistic faggot? Might as well pick up another retard pointless hobby like yo-yoing.

Fun. You should try it some day.

MMmhhh....apart from slaying muslims I don't really see what you could do.

See, the good thing about getting Jow Forums is that you don't have to worry about what others think about you when you do what you find interesting.

Want to call me a weeb faggot? Go ahead.

It's probably good for cutting

reinforce it with titanite shard

1x Seppuku until failure

you can swing it around in your back yard like a neckbeard autist

This.

Really the only option, but also a good cardio workout.
Also I have the one in OP's picture and imo the handle is too short and the knob on the end is actually pretty pointy so I had to sand it down to make it comfortable to swing.
It's too heavy and the balance is shit for technique practice but for conditioning it's fine.

>weebfag
>posts a traditional english sword
so this is american 'education' at work?

look up the definition of "martial art", kiddo

>such a manlet he keeps hitting the ground with his sword
Don't take lessons from manlets OP.

Practice your eight angles of cuts. Up, down, left, etc.
Train blocks, running and walking strikes and parries.
Slash tree branches and stab into trees or the ground for resistance.

Ive got two of those and I would rather be hit with a baseball bat. I dream of catching a Nigger in my house and beating it with one

don't listen to these HEMA retards, go to an escrima place or get a private instructor. way more applicable generally and you also learn unarmed after armed. HEMA is for ck2 obsessed autists. Escrima is two handing two sticks, or a sword and a knife, or a rolled up newspaper. way better than that prancing faggot HEMA shit. you won't be able to pick up a long sword when a dude attacks you at a club. an umbrella, a pen, a bottle would serve you better, and escrima can help you valorificate it properly.

Slay knaves 1xF

Just swing it a hundred times a day vertically and a hundred times horizontally minimum.

Saw them doing this with a solid steel twohander at a strongman competition.

Going to clubs and being around horny peasants is fucking gay. Swords are fucking based. Simple as.

Can't spell functional without fun

What about footwork? He'll just be training the wrong way, so to speak. As someone who autistically swings around a solid metal axe, just swinging it alone may help prime the nervous system and associated muscles for the movement but without technique we are nothing.
