It feels like the german two-handed sword is a player's reverse of Far Eastern two-handed style. Katana usually has the blade being faster in movement with little movement from the wielder, and this feels like the player/swordsman is the quicker element, weaving, moving, etc. Interesting.
@SavageInsight that's mostly a style thing. i study korean techniques and while the fencer may not look like they're doing anything, power is constantly being cycled from the feet to the fingertips through minute movements of the muscles. also, japanese and chinese styles focus on dueling, which requires a different technique than the battlefield skills of the west and korea.
i just watched all four of these videos and they were great. i don't have the money to go out and take lessons and this cleared up a lot of confusion on defensive stances. thank you so much. great videos.
