>handle a sword correctly
It depends on the type of sword. A rapier is handled differently than an arming sword, and both are held differently than a longsword.

As for youtube channels I really don't know. I'd just look up how to handle a _____ sword.

Scholagladiatoria
Academy of Historical Fencing
English Martial Arts
LondonLongsword

You hold it between your thumb and forefinger, it's useful for little cheese cubes.

Anyway I'd honestly recommend taking a class if you can, there's a lot of nuance that makes it kind of awkward to emulate from a video anyway.

Absolutely not that LARPer doesn't know shit. Like the other guy said Scholagladiatoria, LondonLongsword are way better. Best is Blood and Iron though.

Here friend. It's a neat video but he does take creative liberties from his own studies of primary sources. He speaks well and shows methods well.

Like >>3013883 says though: take a class. Emulation and passive watching only gets you so far. Otherwise you'll end up like this guy

Ok. Should i try to make my own wooden sword to practice with or should i pick a good stick to practice with? And no im not one of those autists who do it in public im gonna do it innawoods where no one sees me

Buy a wooden sword or a nylon one you faggot. Then practise at home with treatises.

Get a practice sword. They're not crazy expensive and if it's a decent quality one it'll at least have good dimensions and be comfortable to hold / hit things with. It doesn't handle identically to a sword, but close enough.

Still, a lot of long swords is reactive, it's hard to learn properly on your own. If you ever watch videos of people sparring you'll see what I mean. It's also hard to tell when you've got bad form unless you notice your sparring partner just ran you through when you were supposed to have a good guard.
