      Messer means knife, in some german dialects a small knife is called Kniep or Kneip ( our languages are related).

    how would you stop someone who is forward knife presenting from just slashing the hell out of your "shield" arm? I understand that in a knife fight you are going to get cut, but that just seems like its giving them your arm. Excited to see the next few parts to see if there's an answer.

    • @stephenkime5946
      @stephenkime5946 3 года назад +1

      I can answer that right now. The concept here is that the outer arm or shield arm contains mainly flesh and bone. all life threatening bits of the arm are located on the inner arm in line with the palm. My defending action isn't necessarily to allow my shield arm to get mangled but rather that if i am going to get cut somewhere it is preferable to be cut there rather then being cut somewhere more vital. That being said I am also not going to simply block my opponents slashes with the flesh of my arm but rather attempt to control or defend the more fvital points with the purpose of exploiting a vital point of my attacker. The purpose is to mitigate life threatening injuries while dispatching my opponent. Many of the plays in Meyer's treatise involve controlling my opponents weapon before exposing a vital point with which i can take advantage of them. There is more detail to this from a modern standpoint as well but i will not get into detail about this because it does involve more then one instance with which someone does lose their life. at any rate. please contact us if you are interested in further conversation. cheers

    Do you guys still teach Mac’s Bowie knife stuff? I bought both his books after seeing your review. Mac’s research seems to indicate a combination of Italian rapier sources and Meyer’s dussak material when thinking about the use of big blades. What do you think?

  • @pedroexp9263

    knife fighting seems a lot riskier than sword fighting. even when it's done successfully, it looks way too close for comfort.

    Nobody is going to comment about how many utility blades from the 18th century look... a lot like a big kitchen knife of today?

    @juleksz.5785 3 года назад

    I want to ask about something somehow historical, I'm just not sure it is right channel ... When arming a poorman in a 14 century better choose pole weapons (if yes, then spears, gizarms, polaxes ore chalabards, or what other) or cheap 1h weapon + shield (if yes then, falcions, cavalarymans picks, short swords, maybe some bland weapon or what?)

    Lmao no
    I've been teaching knife defense since about 2012.
    Close your "shield arm" hand or those fingers are coming off.
    I always teach blade arm lead cause while sure, your blade arm is more exposed and in danger of what we call "defanging the snake", you give up way too much precious reach.
    And why the hell would you go for their opposite shoulder...? Crossing on someone is so dumb if they know what they're doing. Are they supposed to let you stab them and not use their "shield arm" (lol) to prevent you from that awkward and clumsy cross body stab?
    Idk, I know everyone has a different fighting style and all that... but I dont think theyre all equal. Been teaching knife work for a long time, and practicing it for even longer.
    This reminds me of the flawed system my old teacher, Joseph simonet, tried doing a while back. Looks cool, but yeah left lead isnt good and I showed him why lol

      I would say that context is everything. I too prefer to have my weapon hand forward, but this technique broken down slowly seems to be demonstrating an armored left arm via cloak ( as mentioned ). The short video simply isn't long enough to get the details or context of the technique in order to judge it's validity.
