It's something I find so useful and is kind of the foundation of most off line techniques. And works great with a messer. Thanks for your support I really appreciate it🙏

Thank you it's very nice to do definitely worth trying

@@Reddragonlongswordacademy I will in my next training session!

Thank you so much!! Yes it was something I looked for on RUclips as well, often changing the speed settings to slow down videos. So thought I'd film some techniques and movements in slow motion to help anyone who was interested. If you have any requests feel free to ask, and if it's in my skill set I'll put a short together. I mainly study Meyers Longsword. 🙏

@@stresslevel1009 yep completely agree thank you good room to improve.

@@TheMarkehed thank you for the support and your insights I very much appreciate them 🙏

@@TheMarkehed yep totally see you point I think my interpretation is the thrust is there to make them think they have a advantage only to be met with a short or back edge zwirchhau to their left. So it might look like one is trying to land a thrust but it's just there to open up or force the opponents move. this instance is a powerful zornhut. This is just my thoughts on it, and we tend to change and adapt the plays in class to find what works best in modern sparring. I actually used this at the end of the session when we spared but instead of trying to land the cut after the thrust I Feigned it and landed the second instead just to confuse them. Hope this was a better insight to my thought process.

@@nkscuba so far I haven't but I did have to end up adding a shim / spacer to the wrist rivet's, as the nylon webbing hole was to big so it popped threw. I tend to look over them for use to make sure they're all good.

Hey thanks so are you referring to the cut after the short edge one ? If so the middlehau falls naturally to their block setting you up for it,then following that with an underhau if it lands or not. We had a load of fun deciphering it and like you found the zwirchhau felt natural setting up a good defence.

@@Reddragonlongswordacademy Yes I can see how that feels more natural. If you stop the short edge cut like you do at the point when the schielhau "should have hit" a middlehau makes more sense. If you however continue with the cut, keeping your hands high, letting the point go in an arc down in a circle along your left side, your momentum makes an oberhau more ideal I think.

​@@TheMarkehed Oh yes 100% definitely going to try this next session!! This is what I like most about historical sword fencing and Hema is when reading the books and putting things to real world practice you fined some things just don't feel right and others do. I Very much appreciate your input thanks 🙏

@@Reddragonlongswordacademy it's always a fun detective exercise. Good luck exploring.

Another thing. In the first cut, you strike against their inward flat with your outward flat. No biggie, just terminology. I also see that you talked about the prellhau here in the comment of the video on the second device. I heard now that you mention the zwirchhau on the withdrawal so that's my bad for not listening well enough.

@@AtreidesHEMA Awesome I'll have a look at them. They definitely feel more weighty with the rivets in, I much prefer it. If I can help in any way feel free to ask, I'm on Instagram as well. @red_dragon_longsword_academy_ Thanks 🙏

@@Reddragonlongswordacademy cheers man, I've already done a couple of repairs on mine with the rivets that came with them new but have run out now. Interested to know if their is a structural difference putting the cross head side inside the glove as opposed to on the outside? As in will that increase survivability? Or is it more of an aesthetic choice?

@@AtreidesHEMA that's a good point I was going with looks with this pair, but I did re rivet the first gen gloves with the screw head up and a few when hit bent and came loose that's why I glued them in place but that then stopped me from taking them apart. Possibly too much glue on my part.

@@Reddragonlongswordacademy I was planning to use loctight on mine to keep them unscrewing. I may flip mine screw down then if you've found bending to be an issue, smooth surface may also prevent swords catching as much. Thanks for the insight I shall be sure to mention you in my video for your help. Hopefully send a few veiwers your way. Thanks alot my dude. Are you affiliated with Red Dragon?

@@AtreidesHEMA so the Chicago rivets I first used were from Amazon not very expensive so possibly cheaply made. The ones I've used in the new pair I got from the knight shop. So I just went with what I learnt from the first time round and swapped them around just in case. And lock tight sounds like a good idea. I did use one of their many super glues but there is one for screws I think 🤔 so will find that. But as I said I've had none coming loose without it and I train regularly.

Thank you
