    It is very interesting that the position of the hands during the swing coincides with the strength exercises in Indian practice with clubs. There is a constant transition from the right swing to the left swing, as a basic exercise. It is in this version that the strength of the shoulders and wrists is strengthened. Perhaps this is one of the common points for the martial arts of the West and the East.

    In my opinion I think it's showing us a big side step followed up by an attack

    That is an interesting theory on the origin of the name for Posta do Donna, and it certainly seems to make sense. When I first heard the name I assumed it had something to do intrinsically with women, but never gave it much thought. Also, I have been curious for sometime about the training longsword you are using; please share where you purchased it and the model if that would not be too much trouble. I have been looking at many of the training swords on the market and the majority are feders or do not resemble longswords of the type represented in Fiore Dei Liberi’s treatises.

      @@radianman thank you for your observations! The sword I have is from Jesse Belsky Stage Swords. The one I have is not safe for sparring and it is worked to match the Albion Crecy. In my opinion, Jesse did a fantastic job!
      Here is the link to his site. jesse-belsky-stageswords.squarespace.com/
      Also, the sharp sim swords are from Black Fencer.

    If you wear a strapped shield for the open side. You're covered in that stance and you can fit in a group delivering blows at your turn. This guard is also in the same place as finestra or hanging guard. . Fiore has is only sword wielding master that affirms the plethora of non-martial arts battle manuscripts. Where soldiers are taking narrow footwork, feet turning away from the enemy, and with wide swinging attacks that are considered poor form in fencing. My opinion is that people in conflcit with medieval weapons, valued movement and survival. The terrain can get bad, there's bushes, there's stuff, the feet isn't in an ideal position. one of the only ways you can deliver a potential hit without being hit is to start from high or from the hip, and either flank or exit. If you're entering their front, that's because they have the protection to do that. The posta breve fighters were exclusively something illustrated for the plate armor fighters. But a lot of people were fighting to cleave or to secure their own escape route. WHich happened to be the same techniques that fits in a group of people.

    Ur leg is to far out there for a attack try doing it facing ur opponent bend the knee twords ur opponent and take up that stance that way they can't hit ur leg that sticks out because it's behind u

      If you are already at close range, changing legs is useless. Any leg that is in front, whether on the right or left, is still in striking distance. Imagine that you are in a clinch. In a fight, such leg positions arise sooner or later at the moment of impact, and it is absolutely reasonable to be able to navigate the situation and hit from such a stance at a convenient moment. ruclips.net/video/DP698S7R-Mc/видео.html

      I have to disagree with you there. Fiore shows the leg extended out like this (wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fiore_de%27i_Liberi#/media/File:MS_Ludwig_XV_13_22r-b.jpg) and we see this in other sources as well, such as in Meyer (wiktenauer.com/wiki/Joachim_Meyer#/media/File:Meyer_1570_Sword_E.png) It's easy to say "this doesn't make sense it's bad advice" but I think the more interesting way to look at it is "This seems unintuitive, so why are they advising to do it this way?"
