I just discovered your channel while waiting for my first sword to be delivered. THANK YOU so much for all of those clean and clear instructive videos! It means a lot to me.
Well, in a general sense, what is shown here can be applied to all swords, especially because it is solo work, i.e. Messer specific things, like the Nagel, just do not come into play. So even if you were to use a stick, there is something to be gained from this exercise we think. That being said, it is always good to keep the context of a technique or exercise in mind, so that, when necessary, you can separate and differentiate.
Thank you! Most of the content is roughly based on the Liechtenauer tradition - so although it's not specifically mentioned for arming sword, I wouldn't see why you couldn't use one with it. It's probably what I would do, when being handed an arming sword. Cheers, Ulrik
So simple yet complex at the same time. 🤔👑✨👍

Very nice form and smooth transitions 😉
Thank ypu so much for sharing. I really appreciate it
Very useful. Keep it up!
I guess this would apply to even a “Viking age” sword?! Right?!
I will try this out with my squire line Viking sword!

Excellent lesson! Thanks a lot.
I wonder is this technique suitable for arming sword with short blade?

Why do you step first and let the cut follow...this makes the attack easier to see. Isn't it better to start the cut first and let the body follow?
It depends. Which one do you refer to, exactly? :)
