Kristofer Stanson (SE)
More than 1400 registered HEMA tournament matches makes Stanson one of the most experienced tournament fencers in the community. That being possible by having a large focus on one handed weapons and sparring (mostly outdoors in most weathers) since 2003 and while not actively competing at events you can usually find Stanson being a referee or judge or away sparring.
''Indes'' action
"Indes" actions is like cheating at Rock Paper Scissor
In HEMA tournaments, the forward movement of your sword will probably result in one of the three following actions from your fellow competitor:
1. Insufficient defense that you can exploit
2. A good defense that puts you at a disadvantage but leaves an opening somewhere else
3. Or simply ignore your attack and counter attack instead
Let's start taking care of those scenarios before it is too late and use their decisions against them
Gear
