An interesting video. I've always wondered how sickle techniques work in WMA and these look just effective than the Okinawan version using two sickles. This is going to sound very odd, but when demonstrating the pulling technique to the knee, I actually thought it went to the groin at first because he left it there.
Not sure but I think that during that time period. Everyone were taught how to do things with their right hands. Simply because there were superstitions about left handed people. Just to answer that one guys question.
Thanks for putting this up! I am watching it over and over again. Is Frank B Hunt the same person as Brian Hunt who authored 'Polearms of Paulus Hector Mair'? Or are there really two different guys with the last name Hunt currently researching and translating Mair?
nope afraid not! Although I've read Brian's work. But the recent Paulus Hector Mair interpretation with Christian Tobler was done in part by my good friend Jess in KS. I'm guessing the artwork from your interpretations is from the German scan?

Sorry just checking mail now. In the last sequence the target is indeed, the groin-ouch

James: Frank and Brian are unrelated, much as Hugh Knight and I are unrelated ;-)
