Fererico Malagutti is an Italian HEMA fencer, instructor, and martial artist. With over a decade of experience in swordsmanship, with a special interest in late medieval fencing, Federico is one of the preeminent voices in modern HEMA, sharing his skills and thoughts on YouTube.

In this stream, Federico discusses HEMA and history, the commonalities and differences between sword training in the past and in the present, what these mean for the future of HEMA, and a lot more with host Gabriele Culot.

Dequitem is an armoured fighter who focuses on showcasing non-choreographed fights in his videos.

His goal is to display historical fighting techniques in the context that most closely resembles how they would have been practiced in historical times. This leads to clashes fought at full speed and power in an effort to survive rather than score points.

This approach leads to a better understanding of fighting techniques and learnings that may not be as evident in a more modern sports-like context. In addition to this focus on technique, Dequitem puts a lot of effort into the aesthetics of the background, choosing historically plausible locations and turning sparring and dueling videos into cinematic works of art.

In this live stream, Dequitem discusses all these aspects with host Gabriele Culot.

Giovanni Sartori is a bladesmith and swordmaker from Bassano del Grappa, in Italy.

His work centers around recreating weapons that are authentic not only in terms of measurements and proportions but also in terms of materials and processes. This holistic approach to swordmaking has led to his work being displayed in several museums, including the Deutsches Klingenmuseum in Solingen.

In today's chat, Giovanni discusses his approach to studying and making swords with host Gabriele Culot, and dives into the world of Medieval and early modern bladesmithing in Northern Italy.
