Taking the Battlements: a workshop on Messer Fencing

Спорт

I'm at Winterkamp this weekend, teaching this workshop. This video is a much better alternative to paper handouts getting all soggy at the bottom of fencing bags. And I think the fine people of KZread might enjoy it too!

    Excellent demonstration of the krieg winding sequence. I enjoy any discussion/speculation on the figurative language of fencing in the sources, so thanks for that!

    Thanks! It's actually a pretty good idea to do something like that. It would probably take some time to do well, but a glossary is definitely a project I could try if time allows. :)

    Great video! Would you consider making a video on left leg lead positions in messer fighting?

    It's a fun idea! The distinction is discussed in some of the Hauptstücke obviously, but there's some potential for a slightly more specific dive. :)

    Do you do that continuous winding exercise often? Do you introduce footwork to it? How? Does it bring effects?

    I still do it from time to time myself, but I did it a lot when I was learning to use the Hengen consistently. Footwork makes it cooler and more dynamic, as does your coach occasionally reversing direction for a second or so. The cues here would be to always keep the same distance to the coach, and try to stick to the bind as much as possible. If done well, this exercise is just great for getting loads of reps in mechanically, as well as tactically (trying to stick to the bind to control the opponent's blade).
