Magnus' Fighting Tutorials Episode 7: Basic Footwork

[Fr0zenMyst]

Good teaching.

[NiyghteShayede]

@Chidori2186 for the first question, that is basically what your doing with the foot forward/backward, only some people are unable to, or it is harder for some to only move their hip, as for your second question, yes, but i don't think it causes"damage" because it is a shield, not a weapon, there to protect, which is why you should try your hardest to defend with the shield, so you have the freedom of simply crossing over or under and taking a limb or life, and you cant hit heads, not here to

[Chidori2186]

while using your sword to defend against openings? by adjusting your sword to a more defensive position, wouldn't it be possible to defend while smiting the enemy with your shield?. Cuz a shield to the head would be like a nerve strike and through them off ballance

[Chidori2186]

Pardon me if I am incorrect, but I'e been taking MMA, not sword fighting.

[123qwe910]

@Chidori2186 If you punched me in the shield while I was wearing a helm, it wouldn't do diddly squat. There wouldn't be any "nerve strike." Now if your not wearing a helm, then that's different, but if your hitting someone in the head with your shield, it means your arm is out there=your screwed. Also, if your blocking with your weapon, you can't strike, and in actuallity, your weapon will break if you block with it repeatedly. Also you're pardoned. Just thought you may want to know...

[Chidori2186]

No offense,, why step in, why not just through your hip into it? that'll give you all the power you need won't it? It's something I learned in boxing. Also Another question. This may make me sound stupid, but with a buckler///punch shield, it has less defensive area, yet more movement. Couldn't you use it offensively for a quick "Jab"

[Sugardaddy501]

fotwork is worthless; focuss on defense.

[Aserox]

@Sugardaddy501 Footwork is ALOT, and extremly useful, not too sure what you're on about. And sticking to only defense will get you 'killed' easily.

[123qwe910]

@Sugardaddy501 I've died because of footwork more times than I can count. There is only so much you can block with JUST your shield. You HAVE to move, or I will crush you, and so will anyone who has good footwork, and knows that your footwork sucks.
