Ahoy, Jeff. Best to you and yours. Nice work as always. I really appreciate your clarity of instruction in these videos.

The rolling stroke is a cut at the hands (almost a "Schnappen") as a second-intention attack coming in multiples.

I believe JediKnight is confusing the rolling strokes with a rownde--a horizontal cut at the head not unlike a Zwerch. It's usually found doubled (either one on each side, or two to the same side in a continuous circular motion).

Well done, guys.

The english rolling strike, my bad, I mean round. from the Harleian Manuscript Basicly a horizontal strike at the head that does moulinet back around. I have been loosely studying w the black falcon school in Colorado

Thanks for clarifying. So, you're trying to draw a parallel to the 2nd and 3rd strikes in the Wing Cut sequence (i.e. Wing Cut and High Cut to the head)? Based on your description (and not knowing anything more about the specifics from the Harleian ms), that could be.

Please give my give best to Ben...

[jediknight2694]

So is the wing cut basicly like the english rolling cut but bouncing of your opponents blade? Or is there no roll intended?

[fortejeff]

Not sure what you mean by "english rolling cut" (moulinet?), I'm guessing the answer is no -- the opponent's blade doesn't have room to give you much momentum to bounce off with. So it's sort of a trade off -- on the one hand you don't bounce off using the opponent's energy, but on the other hand, you do jam the opponent -- at least as part of this sequence.

Honestly, I cannot see the difference between the Wing Cut and the Crown Cut. Sure, I see how the counters to those cuts are different, but the cuts themselves look identical. Can you shed some light on this?

[fortejeff]

My apologies that you cannot distinguish between the Wing and the Cut. If you look at the video segment from 5:07-5:14, that's probably the clearest visual comparison between the two. Otherwise, in text all I can say is that the Wing comes from below and the Crown from above -- try watching it again with that in mind.

[ThatQuietDude]

Oh, now I see. In both cuts I was just looking at the third strike, the one where you strike the head. I noticed that the second strike in the Wing Cut is with the long edge, while the second strike in the Crown Cut is with the short edge. Thank you so much.

gotta love the jedi rolling.
