description: <p>Alber, commonly translated to “Fool” or “Fool’s Guard” in English, also known as Porta di Ferro (“Iron Gate”) in Italian traditions, is a sword fighting stance/guard common across various traditions of European longswordsmanship. The German name (and most common English name) is thought to come from how it looks open, but is actually in a prime position to counter. It is equivalent to Gedan-no-kamae (“lower stance”) in Japanese swordsmanship.</p><p></p><p><strong>Trigger:</strong> alber_guard<br /><strong>Support:</strong> fighting stance, sword, two-handed sword, holding weapon, weapon, full body, from side, facing viewer<br /><strong>Not sure if will help, but trained with:</strong> Right foot forward, left foot forward, from left, from right, longsword, bokken,  federschwert (it’s a type of blunt practice sword, only use one sword type in positive)<br /><strong>Negative:</strong> Photo (medium), helmet, fencing mask</p><p>I saw there were a few other sword stances on the site and they mostly worked, so I knew PDXL could produce half decent sword poses with a style LoRA, but they were for broad classifications of poses and/or just plays on popular media poses instead of anything really suitable for a fight. I chose Alber to start with because it’s very photogenic (not having the blade overlap with the body or covering the face with arms/blade) and relatively consistent (unlike the more common Pflug/Plow which has a lot of significant variations) and its is very close to its Japanese equivalent.</p><p>I trained this on 28 images taken from various HEMA instructional videos and photos, plus 5 instructional images for kendo.</p>
